Netflix continues to offer a wealth of compelling series for UK audiences, with recent highlights including The Witness, Beef, and Bridgerton. Our experts have curated a list of favourites across genres and moods to suit every viewer.
The new three-part drama The Witness sensitively explores the 1992 murder of Rachel Nickell on Wimbledon Common. While it follows the police investigation, the series focuses more on the struggle of her partner and their two-year-old son, the only witness, to rebuild their lives.
Tina Fey's comedy drama The Four Seasons, based on the film about friends on group trips, has returned for another season, making now an ideal time to start watching. Meanwhile, subscribers are enjoying recent releases like The Boroughs from executive producers the Duffer Brothers, and Legends, a drama starring Steve Coogan and Tom Burke based on an incredible true story.
For those who missed it in 2019, Ricky Gervais's After Life—voted the best modern comedy in a Radio Times poll—is available. Gervais plays Tony, a grieving newspaper writer who adopts a brutally honest outlook after his wife's death, blending sharp humour with poignant emotion.
Other options include fantastical horror Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen, gritty Norwegian crime drama Jo Nesbo's Detective Hole, comedic mystery How to Get to Heaven From Belfast, and stylish thriller The Beast in Me.
