The quality of Ukrainian television

I am constantly amazed at the quality of NZ television- and not in a good way. However this week I find out I have other countries to ponder as well News in the NZ Herald that the NZ soap opera Shortland St is #1 show of the day among 18-54 year olds in the Ukraine.

Georgia and Khazakstan are also enjoying this slice of (low) quality NZ culture.
