With travel more expensive than ever, it’s time to gather around the television and enjoy some new and old favorites that close out the summer season. Not that the warm days are going anywhere as yet – especially if you live in the southern U.S., the days mostly stay warm until the end of October – but with the return of the school year, vacations start being put on hold until the next break. Pumpkin spice is already in the air, and some stores are already stocking up for holiday sales.

But before the leaves start falling and Spooky Season shows back up (insisting it’s always been a trend even though no one had heard the term before 2018), let’s say goodbye to the last of the summer wine with a few shows to binge. While beach time in England usually features very pale people wrapped head to toe in towels or wearing sweaters over swimsuits, U.K. TV series fill the gap between lived reality and summer travel fantasies.

From the entire Death in Paradise franchise – which takes viewers to the far-off parts of the globe once considered the British Empire – to shows like The Madame Blanc Mysteries, where expats escape to the continent, there’s plenty of warm summer shows for those who live in more Northern climates. Here’s a quick rundown of some of our suggestions to watch as summer rolls out.
