Noel Fielding (The IT Crowd, The Mighty Boosh) stars in this period comedy about legendary British highwayman Dick Turpin.

Actress Penelope Wilton in a train carriage in Murder is Easy — Murder is Easy

Murder is Easy (2023)

This two-part adaptation of Agatha Christie's classic mystery follows Luke Fitzwilliam (David Jonsson), a man who finds himself hunting down a serial killer after meeting Miss Pinkerton (Penelope Wilton), an older lady on her way to Scotland Yard to report a series of suspicious deaths in her village. When Pinkerton herself turns up dead, Fitzwilliam realises she was onto something.

Premiered March 1st on BritBox.

The Regime (2024)

Though technically an American production, this series has a primarily British cast that includes English actors Kate Winslet, Andrea Riseborough, and Hugh Grant – so we figure it's very likely to be of interest to many of our readers. The series follows a year inside the palace of a crumbling European regime, with Winslet taking on the role of the increasingly paranoid Chancellor Elena Vernham. As she becomes increasingly isolated, she begins to trust a disgraced soldier, and he quickly becomes her top confidant and advisor.

In 1994, she joins a police task force to help with the hunt for the Station Strangler, a killer who's left a trail of 22 dead boys in his wake. To make progress, she'll have to do more than excel at her job – she'll have to battle against a male-dominated force that views her as an outsider.

Extraordinary, Season 2

Set in a world where everyone older than 18 develops a superpower, this comedy series follows 25-year-old Jen (Máiréad Tyers, Belfast), who seems to be the only exception to the rule.

In season 2, we see her at a clinic for people who need help in figuring out their powers. Meanwhile, her personal life is only slightly less troublesome.
