Thanks Mr. Jeeves
Just as good an answer on netflix as I would expect from the “ask mr jeeves” search engine. :)
Other hidden gems:
Hulu: Prisoners of War (Israeli with sub-titles) may be the best dramatic television series I've ever seen, and I promise is worth the bother of sub-titles.
Netflix: Their original programming like House of Cards and Marco Polo is outstanding. Warning on these - adult content. Not outright nudity, but adult situations... although I think you get some boobies with Marco Polo.
Amazon: Again, original programming. Also has a lot of British period programs which are great.
In fact, all the streaming networks seem to carry a lot of Brit shows, some of which are as silly as ours, and some of which are amazing.
