In the world of British television, there are a plethora of stories about World War II and its aftermath. This is understandable given how the conflict forever altered life for residents of the U.K.; the traumatic experiences involved everyone who lived through the Blitz and the immeasurable loss of
AMC/AMC+
England's King Richard III is a monarch who is generally remembered as a monster, in no small part because of William Shakespeare's famous depiction of the villainous king with a twisted back and a dark heart. Whether or not that presentation bears any real resemblance to
AMC/AMC+
Given how much of our popular media focuses on the reign of England's Queen Elizabeth I, it's nice to finally see a story about what happened next. After all, her chosen heir, James I, was the first monarch to rule over a united England, Ireland, and
Doctor Who
Although we’re still months away from Doctor Who’s sixtieth-anniversary celebration later this year and several more beyond that from the first full season with Ncuti Gatwa’s Doctor (whatever number they end up calling him), the folks behind the scenes are not wasting any time getting fans excited
BritBox
Mystery series are a staple of the British entertainment industry, so much so at you might be forgiven for wondering if every English citizen just happens to be a part-time crime solver on the side. Because if you go by what you see on the screen in these series, pretty

Starz
Starz's time-traveling period drama Outlander has taken viewers everywhere from 18th century Scotland and France to 1950s America over the course of its six seasons to date, so it probably shouldn't surprise anyone that Season 7 will see the Fraser family embroiled in the American Revolution.

Though Benedict Cumberbatch will always be Sherlock to PBS viewers, the Oscar-nominated actor is probably best known these days for his big screen roles, from playing Dr. Stephen Strange in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to his haunting performance in Jane Campion's probably-should-have-been-a-Best-Picture-winner The Power of the Dog. But
Good Omens
Sometimes impossible things just happen and we call them miracles. That quote is technically from Doctor Who, but feels as though it might rightly be applied to the existence of a second season of Prime Video's Good Omens, something that by all rights probably shouldn't exist
