10 Best British Shows To Stream In The U.S. From 2022

I was recently asked by someone why they could not just subscribe to one service in the U.S. and get all the British TV series and movies that cross the pond in one place. And while that may yet happen, as the BBC retreats and regroups for a new era in how we consume entertainment, the government-sponsored network has repeatedly said in interviews that's not on the table for now. Auntie Beeb has found the best way to maximize funds, at least at this juncture, is by playing the field. The morass of streaming services that have launched since 2019 all need content, and the BBC will sell to all of them, at least while the services are still out there making a go of it.

While that's good news for the cash-stepped network, which is again faced with TV license cuts and other threats to undermine its cultural legacy, it makes it difficult for anglophiles. On the one hand, there has never been so much British content in the U.S. that's legally viewable on our TVs without a VPN. On the other, it's everywhere; with a good baker's dozen different streaming services, fans would need to subscribe to get access to everything. We've rounded up the best across the board from nine subscription-based platforms (and one member based!) for fans to check out from this year.
