The fourth season of crime drama Unforgottenwas probably the franchise's most popular yet, which is why it's doubly shocking that it's also the installment that changes literally everything about the series by the end. Known for its slow-burn investigations of "historical" crimes spread over the course of six episodes, the show is nothing if not me...
A wry, offbeat romantic comedy about a struggling millennial named Jessie (Rose Matafeo) whose life is thrown into chaos when her New Year's hook-up Tom (Nikesh Patel) turns out to be a world-famous actor, Starstruck is likely the best series you didn't see this year. Full of Notting Hill vibes, this frothy romp feels like a breath of fresh air in ...
A mystery that feels like a slow burn will they/won't they romance as often as it does a crime drama, there's so much to recommendMiss Scarlet & The Duke(particularly to those, like yours truly, who don't always love this particular genre.) The series follows the story of Miss Eliza Scarlet, the first female private investigator in Victorian London...
As a whole, this season of Grantchester was fine, with perfectly serviceable mysteries and the standard repartee between leading men Tom Brittney andRobson Greene. But the reason this season deserves a spot on this list is almost solely down to Al Weaver,whose performance this season is nothing short of fantastic in a story that's been long overdue...
Look, I realize that in the strictest, most technical sense, Hulu's The Great is not a British series, but it's a smart, risk-taking period drama from Tony McNamara, a.k.a. the guy who wrote The Favourite, so I'm going to make an exception here. It's also just an incredibly well-done and fabulous show, one that I wish more people were both watching...
Given everything we've been through in 2021, we all deserved a stellar season of The Great British Baking Show and boy did Season 9 deliver in spades. The ensemble cast is the strongest group of bakers the show has seen in years, the bakes were challenging without seeming impossible or designed to fail, and though Paul Hollywoodstill, unfortunately...
Look, an eight-hour documentary series about one of the most famous bands in history isn't going to be for everyone. That's a big commitment! But, for the Beatles fans out there, The Beatles: Get Back is an unbelievable gift, a fun, deeply personal look at the recording sessions that culminated in the originalLet It Bealbum and film released in 197...
Sometimes, television shows arrive precisely when you need them to, and such is the case with this charming remake of the classic series All Creatures Great and Small. Landing in the midst of our first COVID winter, this heartwarming and cozy story of family and cute farm animals was the soft, warming light we all desperately needed at the time. (T...
A fizzy love letter to female friendship with plenty of contemporary flourishes, Amazon period drama The Pursuit of Love was one of the year's purest delights. (And one I suspect far too few people saw.) The drama, which is technically set in roughly the same time period as the later seasons of Downton Abbey, feels like it comes from a different pl...
Part necessary memorial, part heartfelt remembrance, and part furious primal scream, HBO Max original It's a Sin isn't just the best British drama of the year, it's one of the best series- of any kind - that aired on television in 2021. Russell T. Davies manages not only to craft a gut-wrenching dramatization of the early days of the AIDS crisis in...
