One of the best British crime dramas — a child is found murdered in a small coastal town and the impact on the community is devastating. Olivia Colman and David Tennant are both extraordinary. Gripping, emotional and beautifully made.
Broadchurch (2013-2017)

A brilliant and thought provoking K-drama about a judge who handles juvenile criminal cases. Really made me think about justice, society and how we treat young offenders. Highly recommend.

Sweet Home (2020-2024)
A Korean thriller set during a pandemic where a new virus turns people into zombie-like creatures — sounds familiar but executed brilliantly. Gripping and tense throughout.
Happiness (2021)
One of the most emotionally moving K-dramas I've watched — follows a man who cleans out the belongings of people who have passed away. Every episode tells a different story and I cried multiple times. Beautifully done.

A gripping and unique K-drama about a contracted marriage service that takes a very dark turn — brilliantly written and impossible to stop watching once you start.
The Trunk (2024)
A dark and twisted K-drama about eight strangers trapped in a building earning money for every hour they stay — sounds simple but gets incredibly complex and disturbing. If you loved Squid Game you might like this too.

Black Mirror (2011-2025)
Horror
One of the scariest and most emotionally devastating series I've watched — it works as both a genuinely terrifying horror and a heartbreaking family drama. Mike Flanagan is a genius. Absolutely unmissable.
The Haunting of Hill House (2018)
More of a gothic romance than a horror but still deeply unsettling and beautifully made. The ending destroyed me emotionally. Watch Hill House first then come straight to this.

One Day (2024)
Both seasons are brilliant — dark, funny and deeply human. A road rage incident that spirals completely out of control in season one and an equally gripping story in season two. Ali Wong is outstanding throughout and each season tells a completely se...
