Huzzah! The Great, Hulu's frothy, inaccurate and utterly delightful take on the life of a young Catherine the Great, will officially return for a second season. 

Here’s a fact that may surprise you: With this episode, we’re now officially halfway through Beecham House. Doesn’t it...feel like we should be further along in this story? Or, at least, really even know what the story the show’s trying to tell is?

In the wake of the show's Season 2 renewal, cable network AMC announces that it will bring hit Sky crime drama Gangs of London to America later this year. 

Popular BBC relationship thriller The Nest will come to America this summer, courtesy of streaming platform Acorn TV. The five-part series stars Line of Duty's Martin Compston, Gentleman Jack's Sophie Rundle, and Sex Education's Mirren Mack in a messy, complicated story of family, dreams, and betrayal. 

AMC picks up BBC hit The Salisbury Poisonings to air this fall. It's one of several British shows on their way over.

Beecham House is so frustrating precisely because it should be good. On paper, it’s a story that hasn’t really be done before, set in a period we rarely get to see in shows like this. In actuality, however, it’s a trope-filled retread with tremendously dull storytelling, generally unlikeable characters and a chaotic plot that is so messy I can’t even summarize it easily.

In the wake of a new theatrical version of Emma and the U.S. broadcast of new series Sanditon earlier this year, 2020 has proven a pretty great year to be a Jane Austen fan. And with everything going on in the world right now, there may still be no better time to turn to Austen’s works for some much-needed escape.

Ben Whishaw is set to star in a new BBC adaptation of NHS doctor Adam Kay's bestselling memoir This is Going to Hurt. 

Netflix fantasy drama Cursed, a female-focused retelling of the King Arthur legend from the perspective of the Lady of the Lake, will officially premiere this July.

New Masterpiece period drama Beecham House is stunning to look at. The sets are lush, the costumes are beautiful and the world of late eighteenth-century Delhi leaps to life onscreen.

Unfortunately, the show’s beautiful veneer is forced to cover over a multitude of cracks.
