Douglas is Cancelled, the new four-part series premiering on BritBox, is not the show you are expecting. It’s billed as a treatise on social media's capricious and damaging nature. Instead, it is the “me too” experience brought to horrific life. It is a blistering condemnation of what

When Arthur Conan Doyle dreamed up the cocaine-and-heroin-addicted, (and, in modern terms, probably-ace-and-autistic) Sherlock Holmes in the mid-1880s, he had no idea he was launching a detective trope that would dominate the industry. Nor did he ever anticipate how many ways his characters would be spun in the century after

Of the TV series from other networks surfaced by Netflix's almighty streaming algorithm over the last decade, the one I may be most grateful to it for is Babylon Berlin. Set in the waning days of the Weimar Republic in 1929, the series gives the outward appearance of

Andrew Lincoln has spent most of the last decade battling zombies and equally terrifying humans as part of AMC's The Walking Dead franchise. But while his performance as Rick Grimes on both the flagship series and its limited-run spin-off The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live is unarguably

Beyond Paradise initially started as Death in Paradise's not-nearly-as-cool younger sibling, taking the parent show's main selling point (being set in the Caribbean) and doing away with it in favor of Devon's picturesque (and much closer to home) southern coast. (One assumes the title

Don't let the glitter and feather boas fool you, you need a Costco supply of tissues to watch Lost Boys & Fairies. The adoption drama dropped on Britbox on Tuesday and is a tearjerker as much as it is a celebration of queer families. Lost Boys focuses on

In the world of television procedurals, pretty much anything goes. Virtually anyone can seemingly just decide to solve crimes at this point (nuns! bookshop owners! chefs!) and if you can dream it, there's probably a division in the police force assigned to investigate it. Unforgotten has its cold

Guy Ritchie was initially known in the U.S. for being the second husband of Madonna Louise Ciccone, whom he married after they met and fell in love on the set of one of his biggest misfires, Swept Away. Sure, in the U.K., the man was recognized as a

The BritBox and ITV co-production, Code of Silence, was first announced in the fall of 2024 as it headed into production. As you might assume from a show with this sort of name, it is a crime thriller, with a pair of detectives and a not-quite-professional crime solver who is

The Oscars Primetime telecast may signal the end of awards season, but the next wave of awards contenders are already gearing up to take the public's attention. Even before the Academy Awards announced its nominations for the year that was 2024, Sundance was introducing the tentative hopefuls, and

Cozy crime series tend to fall under one of three primary tropes. There's the "Secretly a Romance" series, where the "will they or won't they" of the detectives is the key to liking it, think Silent Witness since Season 14; the "
