And whether the genre is still somewhat foreign to you or you’ve already made it across the pond and want more proper crime to queue up, you should know that Netflix has a badass lineup of British TV crime shows. The shows are genuinely well-written, packed with smart dialogue, and typically have multi-dimensional, gripping plot lines. (You’ve probably heard of Bodyguard starring Richard Madden, but if you haven’t, you can thank me later for introducing you two.)Īlthough we love a beautiful, emotionally-reserved male lead with a sexy posh accent just like the next person, there's so much more that makes the British genre a must-watch.
