r/AskUK on Reddit: Can someone please recommend a really good British TV show?
December 3, 2024 -

I’m British and I’m struggling to find a really good TV show to binge. I’m open to most genres. It could old or new. I’m tired of scrolling through Netflix and Amazon Prime and finding nothing.

December 17, 2021 - Time is British drama at its grittiest best: looking squarely in the face of one of the hidden parts of society and creating compelling, devastating art from it.

December 14, 2021 - The series produces an authentic account of those who were affected, with Davies taking inspiration from his personal experiences when writing the show.

September 6, 2025 -

I’ve recently been on a crime drama binge and I’m looking for more recommendations.

I just watched Dept Q and Fool Me Once and really enjoyed both of them. I also finished Bodyguard, which was great. My favorite crime drama overall has to be Line of Duty (not on Netflix, unfortunately), such a good show.

What other British crime dramas would you recommend that are available on Netflix?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
