Looking for a show to stream on Britbox?

In the world dueling streaming services (and endless TV consumption), everyone is wondering which shows they can stream where, and whether various streaming services are worth the cost!

Britbox compiles a variety of British shows, and brings them across the pond.

In helping some friends figure out whether Britbox is for them, I've compiled my list of the best shows on Britbox.

 And remember the cardinal rule of British murder mysteries...never join the bell ringers, don't answer the door after dark, and always beware of random new people in your village who are actually someone's long-lost son...

Best Shows on Britbox

Father Brown (2013-)

An often light-hearted and charming murder mystery series, Father Brown tells the story of...you guessed it, Father Brown, as he solved whodunnits in post-War England, with his aristocratic sidekick, Lady Montague. You're in for your fair share of fetes, lemonade, and questions over the privacy of the confessional, staring Mark Williams, of Mr. Weasley fame.

Midsomer Murders (1997-)

Ah the classic. There's a reason every murder mystery series since the last 90's has been "The Midsomer of..." or "Midsomer plus..." Midsomer Murders is the classic, and long-running English go-to for small town whodunnits. It's survived changes in lead detectives, and a flurry of DS's, and the murders are no less quirky. If you're new to small town murder, Midsomer is your starting point.

Miss Marple

Another classic, and a bit less quirky than Midsomer, is Miss Marple. Agatha Christie's heroine brought to the screen. Early episodes are a bit dated, but the show is, of course, a gem.

Brideshead Revisited

An unforgettable book, made into a classic (and lengthy) miniseries. Brideshead Revisited is Evelyn Waughn's story of Charles Ryder's involvement with the aristocratic Flyte Family, and all of their incredible quirks.

​Moving, enchanting, and certainly nostalgic, it's a critical look at England's aristocracy. And did I mention it stars young Jeremy Irons?

Shetland (2013-)

If you liked Broadchurch and Wallander, you'll like Shetland, as it's more of the updated murder mystery, full of foreboding scenery and a brooding detective.

Vera (2011-2024)

My evergreen obsession is Vera, a classic, modern British detective series following DCI Vera Stanhope, a hard-nosed, whiskey-loving female detective who can't stop calling everyone "love" and "pet."

Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks for this.
The productions from The UK, Ireland, The EU & Scandinavia have been nothing short of brilliant…it always has been, it just wasn’t accessible on a global scale. It is one of the greater benefits the internet provides.
Best,
William Kiefer
