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.

It's been 25 years since five unemployed steelworkers let their buddy convince them to strip off live on stage to make a quick buck. That doesn't sound like a promising premise, but in The Full Monty, it worked. The 1997 film was a British comedy about
Paddington
One of the most beloved franchises is back for another installment—no, it’s not Marvel or Star Wars; it’s Paddington. With two BAFTA-nominated films and some of the highest ratings of all time, this British bear is adored the world over. Paddington first leapt from page to screen
Rogue Heroes
Perhaps it should have been a no-brainer that when Steven Knight finished Peaky Blinders as a TV series, his next period drama would also be a massive hit. Maybe, had it not been about World War II or been named for the British Special Air Service, streaming services in the

Sherwood Season 1 was one of the BBC’s biggest surprise hits of 2022. James Graham’s story, based on the real-life 2004 double manhunt in Sherwood forest, was a star-studded affair with a who’s who of British A-listers in the cast. Despite being billed as a true crime

Drama
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
PBS
Grantchester Season 7 ended with a surprise wedding after the Reverend William Davenport begged Bonnie Evans to stay in Grantchester and try to make a relationship work. Fans were startled at the sudden rush to the altar — though in the early 1960s, it was not as sudden as it felt
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
Amazon Studios/Prime Video
Misfit comedy series The Outlaws was one of 2022's most unexpected delights, a charmingly bizarre crime caper with darker themes, more complex characters, and smarter twists than anyone likely expected. And, in one of 2023's most pleasant surprises to date, the BBC and Prime Video coproduction
Happy Valley
Nine years ago, Sergeant Catherine Cawood burst onto our screens, chirpily and snarkily trying to dissuade someone from setting themselves alight on a council estate. Since then, things have gotten a lot more dark, traumatic, and emotionally tense for the West Yorkshire police detective, all triggered by the release of
