Since the dawn of television as a source of entertainment, the United Kingdom has been a force to be reckoned with. Some of the greatest TV shows ever made hail from Britain, portraying their cultural identity and their legendary, unique ways of telling stories. Particularly over the course of the last decade, however, British TV has been soaring high.
LGBTQ+ television has been on a huge rise in British TV, with series like Heartstopper as delightful proof. Though there's no doubt that it's primarily aimed at teenagers, adults will surely be able to pick up on dozens of elements, from the beautiful performances to the charming tone. Full of memorable episodes and endearing characters, this is a show that's happy to constantly subvert the tropes and clichés of queer fiction.
8 'The End of the F***ing World' Created by Jonathan Entwistle Hilariously idiosyncratic title aside, the Netflix-original teen comedy The End of the F***ing World is a terrific show in its own right. It's the story of James, a 17-year-old boy who's pretty sure he's a psychopath. He connects with Alyssa, the cool and brooding new girl at his school, whom he would like to make his first murder victim. The pair then embark on a road trip in search of her real father.
It's not only the stacked and incredibly committed cast that makes The Night Manager work as well as it does, though. The series is as brilliantly written as a top-tier Le Carré novel, with a charming and sexy tone that's simply not often seen on television. Those that enjoy the spy thriller genre really ought to check out this incredible one, and with two new seasons having been confirmed in April of 2024, it's as good a time as any to jump into The Night Manager.
5 'It's a Sin' Created by Russell T. Davies Created by one of British television's most openly gay men, Russell T. Davies's It's a Sin is one of the most loving yet gut-wrenching pieces of queer television in years. It's a coming-of-age dramedy about the lives of a group of teenage friends living in 1980s London, which are irreparably changed after the outbreak of the AIDS crisis.
Waller-Bridge is brilliant in the lead role, and her writing is often nothing short of genius. Full of charisma, inventive jokes and gags, delightful fourth-wall breaking, and profoundly effective and poignant drama, Fleabag is both universally relatable and particularly cathartic for those navigating the troubled waters of the aftermath of trauma.
