The Underground Railroad
Kyle Kaplan/Amazon Studios
Prepare for all the feels thanks to Barry Jenkins' breathtaking adaptation of Colson Whitehead's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. This powerful and visually stunning series reimagines the historical Underground Railroad as a literal railway, taking viewers on a harrowing but hopeful journey through the antebellum South. It's a challenging watch, but essential and beautifully executed. You won't be sorry!
Fleabag
Amazon Studios
If you haven't experienced the brilliant, awkward, and hilariously heartbreaking world of Fleabag, you're in for a treat. Phoebe Waller-Bridge stars as a witty woman navigating love, loss, and family in London. With its direct address to the camera and razor-sharp dialogue, this two-season mini series (we're considering it a mini series ok?) is a truly unique and unforgettable comedy-drama that will make you laugh, cry, and cringe in the best possible way. If you haven't seen it, now is the hour.
A Very English Scandal
Prime Video
Hugh Grant delivers a standout performance as Jeremy Thorpe, a real-life British politician whose career was derailed by scandal in the late 1970s. This darkly comedic drama, directed by Stephen Frears, is a captivating look at class, hypocrisy, and a shocking true story. It's witty, stylish, and utterly engrossing. It's also a refreshing look back at what political scandals used to be! I love that the season is just 3 episodes, and since the cast changes each season, every installment is like a brand new mini series.
Tales from the Loop
Amazon Studios
For something truly unique and visually mesmerizing, dive into Tales from the Loop. Inspired by the art of Simon Stålenhag, this sci-fi drama explores the lives of people living in a town above "The Loop," a machine built to unlock the mysteries of the universe. Each episode is a standalone, melancholic, and thought-provoking tale about the human condition, often with a touch of the surreal. Imagine Black Mirror, but with the loop as the lynchpin, not tech.
The Night Manager
BBC
Did somebody say espionage thriller? The Night Manager is your pick for those kinds of thrills. Tom Hiddleston plays a former British soldier who is recruited by an intelligence operative (Olivia Colman) to infiltrate the inner circle of an elusive arms dealer (Hugh Laurie). It's slick, suspenseful, and beautifully shot. Watch this mini series while it's still mini! Series 2 and 3 are on their way.
Good Omens
Sophie Mutevelian/Amazon Studios
Based on the book by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, this fantastical comedy follows an angel (Michael Sheen) and a demon (David Tennant) who have decided they actually like Earth and must reluctantly team up to prevent the Apocalypse. It's a witty, charming, and utterly delightful romp filled with eccentric characters and dry British humor, so have scones on the ready for viewing. Ok this is technically another 2-parter but it's too good not to include.
