The best shows on Netflix come in all shapes and sizes and even hail from various countries beyond the U.S. Not all foreign shows are in a different language, though. You’ll find tons of British shows on Netflix that offer an interesting twist to the typical North American story. There’s a reason, after all, that so many American shows are based on ones from the U.K. These range from teen dramas to thrillers, and even shows you might not realize have British origins.
From Sex Education to Black Mirror, Top Boy, and Treason, you’ll find shows you might have watched already on this list, ones you have been meaning to watch, and maybe a few you hadn’t even heard of. The shows span from ones that have been available for multiple seasons, some of which have ended their run, to others that are just getting started.
Looking for something other than Britain’s best? We’ve also put together guides to the best movies on Netflix and the best shows on Netflix, as well as a recap of what’s new on Netflix.
