I've noticed that American TV-series often use a lot more of dramatic narration and music, repetition of dialog and scenes, and a fast paced and energetic editing, while British TV-series have a tendency to be more subtle, calm and focused on continuous and more natural dialog.
For example: Dragons Den vs. Shark Tank or Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares UK vs US.
Where did this cultural difference come from? How can we form a context of relevant factors to understand the different preferences?
I'm sure that this example could be done using different countries, but let's use US and UK as a good case of comparison.

Why do American and British TV shows look different?
American and British broadcasting standards are different and have been for a very long time; viewing British shows on American televisions and vice versa means a loss of quality. The PAL standard that Britain uses records video tape at 25 frames per second.Why does America always copy British TV shows?
Quick Answer: American television networks like to port successful British material because it's proven to have a market with audiences. They tend to Americanize the shows, using the stories and characters in an American setting in hopes that people will better identify with the stories.Why do Americans say season instead of series?
In the US, "series" refers to the entire collection of episodes from all years, and "season" refers to a batch of episodes broadcast in a run, usually in the same year.Why do British shows have fewer episodes?
Shorter Filming Seasons It's a relatively small country, so it's not wildly expensive or logistically challenging to do that. The UK does have some shows filmed in studios, but they do a LOT on location. It's one of the (many) reasons so many non-Brits love to watch their shows.Sources: Stack Exchange - This article follows the attribution requirements of Stack Exchange and is licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0.
