7. The Crown (2016, 6 seasons)

The series dramatizes the history of the British royal family, from Elizabeth II's marriage to Philip to Charles and Diana's divorce (and her death in the upcoming season). The series doesn't shy away from revealing the many skeletons in the royal family's closet.

6. Peaky Blinders (2013, 6 seasons)

No less popular is the period crime drama starring Cillian Murphy. The series tells the story of a real-life street gang in Birmingham, England, led by the Shelby family after World War I.

4. The Irregulars (2021, 1 season)

The show is a reimagining of the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle that shifts the focus from Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson to the unseen force that helped them in their investigations, the street urchins known in the novels as the Baker Street Irregulars. Watson manipulates them in every way possible to get them to investigate the supernatural happenings in London.

3. The Stranger (2020, 1 season)

2. After Life (2019, 3 seasons)

The creator of The Office, Ricky Gervais, knows how to deliver incredibly heartbreaking comedy-dramas. After Life follows a man whose wife has died of breast cancer.
