Lacy's love of British TV primarily involves evangelizing all things Doctor Who and watching as many period dramas as possible. York apologist and Ninth Doctor enthusiast, you can find her other writing all around the entertainment web.
Marie Antoinette
After such a dramatic run of episodes, it's a bit strange that Marie Antoinette concludes its first season with a finale that feels determinedly lackluster compared to everything that came before it. It's not clear if the production wanted to make sure this finale concluded the
Netflix
Less than two weeks after its premiere, Netflix has renewed its popular political drama The Diplomat for a second season. The contemporary political drama stars award-winning actress Keri Russell (The Americans) as Kate Wyler, the newly appointed U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom, who must immediately handle an
Firebrand
Divorced, beheaded, died. Divorced, beheaded, survived. Such runs the infamous rhyme detailing the fates of the six women married to England's King Henry VIII. But, overall, our pop culture only focuses on a handful of them. We're still fascinated by the fall of his second wife,
Marie Antoinette
The Queen of France achieves a dream nearly a decade in the making in the penultimate episode of Marie Antoinette's first season, but it somehow only reaffirms that nothing she does will ever be good enough for her husband's terrible family and his awful court. Yes,
Netflix
It's been over four years since we last saw a new episode of Charlies Brooker's Emmy-winning dystopian series Black Mirror, but our long national nightmare is finally about to be over. Season 6 is officially set to arrive on our screens in June, and while
Monstrous Beauty
The Stuart Restoration, which saw King Charles II reclaim his family's throne following his father's execution and the intervening years of Oliver Cromwell's Protectorate, is probably one of the most dramatic times in England's history. The restoration of the monarchy not only
Disney/Hulu

Marie Antoinette
After last week's disappointing installment, it's a relief that Marie Antoinette returns to its usual solid form in "Deus Ex Machina" an hour finally earns mature content advisory with many scenes attempting to explain the specifics of sex, even if the result is that
Sanditon
For the second time in its history, it is time to say goodbye to Sanditon. The Little Period Drama That Could survived cancellation, significant cast changes, and behind-the-scenes shifts and ultimately managed to run for three seasons. It is a testament to the power of viewer enthusiasm and
Marie Antoinette
Antoinette and Louis may be officially on the throne of France when Marie Antoinette's fifth episode opens, but somehow their move up the line of succession has caused the relationship (and the show itself) to take a big step backward. One of the most appealing parts of this
Sanditon
The penultimate episode of Sanditon begins to wrap up its many storylines with purpose this week. Still, like much of the rest of this season, even its most significant emotional moments feel rushed and unearned. Plot developments arrive with little warning or set-up, and major conflicts are resolved in
TNT/TBS
Cable network TNT has officially announced the U.S. premiere date for its latest British acquisition, a sci-fi drama called The Lazarus Project. If you're experiencing a bit of deja vu after reading that sentence ---don't worry. You have, in fact, heard it before. The
