  -> of course!

disagree  louisajay: If it was "she" or "he" it would indeed be shows, but this is clearly meant to be the elusive and mysterious "they" (shld be presentan)

Explanation:
Are they good, the films they show on the TV? (UK English - "the TV" is fine) - I just feel that "interesting" is not really a common adjective for films in this type of register, it's a bit of a literal translation of "interesante". We'd just say "good" or something similar.
