The best British TV shows on Netflix
The best shows on Netflix come in all shapes and sizes and even hail from various countries beyond the U.S. Not all foreign shows are in a different language, though. You’ll find tons of British shows on Netflix that offer an interesting twist to the typical North American story. There’s a reason, after all, that so many American shows are based on ones from the U.K. These range from teen dramas to thrillers, and even shows you might not realize have British origins.
From Sex Education to Black Mirror, Top Boy, and Treason, you’ll find shows you might have watched already on this list, ones you have been meaning to watch, and maybe a few you hadn’t even heard of. The shows span from ones that have been available for multiple seasons, some of which have ended their run, to others that are just getting started.

The best anime on Amazon Prime Video right now
Amazon Prime Video is one of the most consistent platforms for watching new content, and that includes plenty of content for anime fans looking for a diverse selection of TV shows and movies alike. The offerings have only gotten better as of late, as Prime Video bolstered its anime catalog thanks to the addition of Crunchyroll, making it an optional premium channel that lets customers streamline both subscriptions in one app.
While it’s the same as paying for both separately, this makes streaming anime even more accessible. Still, despite the genre’s greater accessibility in general in recent years, it can come across as intimidating for beginners to know where to start. We’ve curated a monthly updated guide on some of the best anime to watch on Amazon Prime Video. That includes the service’s native offerings, plus those available through the premium Crunchyroll channel.
