If you are a fan of Breaking Bad, Mad Men, and The Sopranos, TV enthusiasts say you must check out an ITVX drama that you can watch for free. The series has been praised as 'wonderful' by fans.
Your Next TV Obsession
Your next television obsession could be an ITVX crime drama that viewers are hailing as every bit as gripping as Breaking Bad. Reaching the end of your latest TV fixation can leave a gaping void in your viewing schedule, and with countless shows spread across numerous streaming platforms, whittling down your options can prove quite the challenge. However, according to enthusiastic TV fans across social media, there is a relatively obscure series out there that is certain to captivate admirers of beloved classics such as Breaking Bad, Mad Men, and The Sopranos.
Better still, it is available to stream on ITVX, meaning you will not need to spend a single penny on a subscription and can watch the entire thing completely free of charge.
Reddit Recommendation
The series came to light on Reddit after a user on the TV Suggestions forum put out a call for recommendations for 'the next show to binge' for himself and his wife. He explained that the pair take turns choosing what to watch, and with it being his turn, he had hit a complete blank. To point fellow users in the right direction, he listed both his and his wife's all-time top five TV shows. His personal favourites included Mr Robot, Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, The Leftovers, and Better Call Saul, while his wife favoured The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Mad Men, Succession, and Mr Robot.
Among the top recommendations put forward for a couple boasting such an impressive watchlist was the ITVX series Unforgotten. After one commenter put it forward, others swiftly chimed in to echo the suggestion, confirming it ranked amongst their all-time favourites.
One viewer commented: 'Unforgotten. British detective series where they work cold cases.' To which someone replied: 'Wonderful show. A new season should be out soon.' And another responded: 'Our favourite show.'
About Unforgotten
Unforgotten is far from new, having first premiered in 2015, but the series has maintained its popularity throughout the past decade, with all six series now available to stream on ITVX — offering plenty of content to devour. Furthermore, the drama has secured a seventh series, meaning even dedicated binge-watchers will have fresh episodes to look forward to.
The crime drama follows a team of London detectives headed by DCI Cassie Stuart (Nicola Walker) in series one to four, DCI Jessie James (Sinead Keenan) in series five and six, and DCI Sunny Khan (Sanjeev Bhaskar) as they tackle cold cases. Each six-episode series centres on a fresh case, meaning that while there are currently six series available, they are not heavily interconnected, making it entirely possible to watch them individually as a collection of standalone mini-series.
The programme has garnered critical praise, securing a nomination for Best Drama Series at the British Academy Television Awards in 2022, while Tom Courtenay claimed the Best Supporting Actor accolade at the same ceremony in 2016. It boasts an impressive 91 per cent critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with the audience score following closely at 76 per cent.
