It would not be inaccurate to say that British TV paved the way for streaming as we know it. It was only a few decades ago that fans got a taste of what the United Kingdom had to offer through limited selections on PBS and cable. Short seasons with tightly written shows and high production values were hallmarks of the series that came from BBC. And not only have those qualities been adopted by Netflix and other streamers, but there’s still a very strong demand for the genuine article. People want their British TV, and Netflix is giving them the spotlight with a few co-productions of its own. Peaky Blinders and Black Mirror are just the beginning of what you’ll find. So sit back and check out our updated selections from the best British TV shows on Netflix.
