Little Women (2017)
Little Women is a three-part BBC miniseries based on Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel, chronicling the lives of the four March sisters—Meg (Willa Fitzgerald), Jo (Maya Hawke), Beth (Annes Elwy), and Amy (Kathryn Newton)—as they grow up in Civil War-era Massachusetts. Raised by their strong-willed mother while their father serves as a Union army chaplain, the sisters navigate the complexities of love, loss, ambition, and womanhood in a society defined by strict expectations. Each sister follows her own unique path, yet together, they discover the true meaning of family, resilience, and authenticity.
Sherlock (2010-2017)
The BBC’s Sherlock reimagines Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic detective stories, placing Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) and his loyal companion, Dr. John Watson (Martin Freeman), in modern-day London. With his razor-sharp intellect and unorthodox methods, Sherlock tackles perplexing cases that even Scotland Yard struggles to solve. Over four thrilling seasons, Sherlock and Watson engage with iconic characters such as the brilliant but manipulative Jim Moriarty (Andrew Scott), Sherlock’s enigmatic older brother Mycroft (Mark Gatiss), and the cunning Irene Adler (Lara Pulver).
Everything I Know About Love (2022)
This seven-episode British drama series, based on Dolly Alderton’s bestselling memoir, follows four childhood friends navigating their twenties in London. At the heart of the story are Maggie (Emma Appleton) and Birdy (Bel Powley), whose once-unbreakable bond is tested by messy relationships, career struggles, and heartbreak. Set against a backdrop of chaotic nights out and quiet moments of self-discovery, the series explores the highs and lows of female friendship, independence, and the true meaning of love.
Dirty 30 (2016)
What happens when three best friends decide to throw one last wild party before turning thirty? *Dirty 30* is a hilarious and heartfelt comedy that follows Evie (Grace Helbig), Kate (Mamrie Hart), and Charlie (Hannah Hart) – lifelong pals reuniting for a birthday bash that quickly spirals out of control. As the night unfolds with unexpected twists, the trio confronts the challenges of adulthood, lingering regrets, and the evolution of their friendship. At its core, the film is a fun, feel-good celebration of growing older without growing apart.
Feed the Beast (2016)
For those seeking a gritty drama infused with food and friendship, Feed the Beast delivers. This 10-episode series follows Tommy (David Schwimmer), a grieving wine expert, and Dion (Jim Sturgess), a troubled chef, as they pursue their dream of opening a high-end Greek restaurant in the Bronx. As kitchen pressures mount, they also face external threats – from mob connections to personal demons – testing their loyalty and pushing their partnership to the brink. Ultimately, it’s a story about second chances, filled with tension, ambition, and heart.
