British series are like fine old wine: they can be tart, they can be cozy, but they almost always captivate. In the spring of 2025, several new projects appeared on screens that could have easily escaped your notice. Without loud advertising, but with excellent casts, well-thought-out plots, and that subtle British drama that is unmistakable.
Towards Zero: Agatha Christie, but with a new intonation
The series Towards Zero is the perfect reason to remember why the world still adapts Christie. The screenwriters intertwined several unrelated misfortunes—from a suicide attempt to a celebrity's family scandal — and gathered everyone in one country house. The atmosphere of tension, brilliant Matthew Rhys, and the question: "Who among them will dare to do something terrible?"
The Crow Girl: when a detective becomes a personal hell
When a female inspector and a psychotherapist take on a case, you can expect not only chases but also a dive into the subconscious. The Crow Girl frightens not with blood, but with how crimes intertwine with the investigators' own pasts. It seems they themselves don't want to know the whole truth.
Missing You: if the fiancé disappeared and then showed up on Tinder
Kat accidentally sees her long-missing fiancé's profile in an app. This begins a paranoid story where the viewer is no longer sure of anything: not people, not time, not their own memory. Richard Armitage — once again in a role where everything is complicated.
The Stolen Girl: no mysticism, just every mother's fear
The plot starts routinely: a daughter goes to visit a friend. Then — disappearance, an empty house, disturbing memories. The Stolen Girl grips not with blood, but with silence — how the familiar reality disappears soundlessly.
Miss Austen: a quiet revolution in letters
This historical series poses one big question: why did Cassandra Austen burn her sister's letters? 19th-century England, secret feelings, struggle with rules, and Keeley Hawes, who knows how to act not with words but with glances.
I, Jack Wright: a family business where the main enemy is your relative
The death of a wealthy man triggers a wave of suspicions: why did he leave almost no money to his family? Not only investigators but also viewers seek answers. Old scores, grievances, and greed — all this forms the portrait of a very British tragedy.
A Cruel Love: The Ruth Ellis Story: the last shot and the last execution
Ruth Ellis is a real person, the last woman executed in the UK. The series doesn't just retell facts but immerses in relationships where love was a weapon. And the final shot is not a metaphor but a reality after which the entire country's judicial system changed.
