#  The Great TV You Might Have Missed  


Last year was a great one for TV, but if you’ve already binged the usual suspects and are looking for something else to watch, we’ve got you covered. From slow-burn romances to period dramas, here are a few shows you might have missed that are worth catching up on…

## If you liked Bridgerton, watch My Lady Jane… 



 

There’s just something irresistible about corsets, stolen glances and ballrooms buzzing with intrigue – as proven by *Bridgerton’s* third season. Last year, Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) finally got her man, giving us an arc that was sexy, funny and utterly dreamy for Regency romance fans. Sadly, the wait for season four will be a long one – it’s not due until 2026. Luckily, period dramas are the gift that keeps on giving. *My Lady Jane*, released last year, might have flown under the radar, but it ticks all the boxes. Power plays? Check. Ornate, impossibly uncomfortable costumes? Check. A floppy-haired, swoon-worthy male lead? Triple check. Starring Edward Bluemel (*Sex Education*) as Lord Guildford Dudley and Emily Bader as Lady Jane Grey, it’s a tale of feuding love interests forced into marriage, complete with sharp humour and sizzling chemistry. Plus, Dominic Cooper and Rob Brydon steal the show as scheming, squabbling politicians.

## If you liked Black Doves, watch Marcella… 



 

*Black Doves* was the perfect Christmas antidote last year. Starring Keira Knightley, Ben Whishaw, and Sarah Lancashire, it follows Helen Webb (Knightley), a gun-toting spy who marries a future defence secretary to infiltrate the British government. Whishaw plays Sam, a conflicted hitman, while the darkly comic, tracksuit-clad duo Eleanor and Williams provide hilarious Guy Ritchie-style moments of relief. If gritty female leads are your thing, 2016’s *Marcella* stars Anna Friel as a former detective investigating a cold case while juggling a chaotic home life and disturbing blackouts. It doesn’t have the same comedic release but her morally ambiguous actions and covert work echo Knightley’s duplicitous character, making *Marcella* just as dark and chilling.

## If you liked Supacell, watch Misfits… 



 

Ever wondered what it’d be like to have superpowers? *Supacell* was the fresh take on superheroes we needed after years of Marvel overload. Set in South London, it follows a group of ordinary people who suddenly develop superpowers, with their only connection being that they’re all Black. As they navigate the impact on their daily lives, one man must unite them. If you’re into gritty realism mixed with superhuman abilities – and some quotable moments – 2009’s *Misfits* is a must-watch. It follows five young offenders doing community service who are struck by lightning, leaving them with life-altering powers. You’ll definitely spot a few familiar faces. The cast includes Robert Sheehan (*The Umbrella Academy*), Iwan Rheon (*Game of Thrones*) and Joseph Gilgun (*Brassic*).

## If you liked Nobody Wants This, watch The Flatshare… 



 

Last year, Adam Brody’s ‘hot rabbi’ in *Nobody Wants This* had us all swooning – that kiss was all over social media. The comedy centred on the unlikely romance between a cynical sex podcaster and a newly single rabbi, as they navigated their very different lives and meddling families. If you enjoy watching mismatched people fall in love, 2022's *The Flatshare* is another great pick. After a tough break-up, journalist Tiffany agrees to timeshare a bed with hospice nurse Leon; in theory, they’ll never meet. But as the Post-its start piling up, things get more complicated. Two strangers, sharing a flat on a schedule where they never cross paths, communicating through sticky notes as they navigate their unusual living arrangements, relationships and lives. It’s funny, sweet and will make you kick your feet.

## If you liked Disclaimer, watch Luckiest Girl Alive… 



 

Cate Blanchett’s psychological thriller was one of last year’s most talked-about shows. Playing a renowned journalist, she reveals the shocking lengths she'll go to in order to keep a book of her inner-most secrets hidden. With a stellar cast and plenty of unreliable narrators, it keeps you guessing at every turn. If you like your TV watching to be done from the edge of your seat, *Luckiest Girl Alive* will be a solid addition to your watch list. Mila Kunis stars as a writer whose seemingly perfect life in New York unravels when a true-crime documentary forces her to confront a traumatic high-school past.

## If you liked One Day, watch Lovesick… 



 

Last year’s remake of David Nicholls’ *One Day* had us all swooning and sobbing. With its friends-to-lovers romance spanning 20 years, Leo Woodall and Ambika Mod delivered funny, heartfelt performances, perfectly paired with a killer soundtrack. If slow-burn romances full of yearning and missed chances are your thing, give *Lovesick* a go. First released in 2014, it follows 20-something Dylan who, after being diagnosed with an STI, has to revisit his exes – with the help of his mates Evie and Luke. Told through flashbacks, the show is a funny, heartwarming reflection on failed relationships and the love that was there all along. Manageably cringey and genuinely touching, it’s backed by another brilliant soundtrack.

## If you liked Industry, watch I May Destroy You… 



 

*Industry* was a sleeper hit – until its explosive third season catapulted it into the spotlight last year. Set in the ruthless world of London’s finance sector, it nails the city’s ‘work hard, play harder’ mentality, fuelled by lies, sex, drugs and backstabbing ambition. If that’s your thing, *I May Destroy You* is a must-watch. Both shows capture the pulse of young-adult party and hook-up culture in London, but where *Industry* takes a corporate lens, *I May Destroy You* offers an artist’s perspective. Both tackle weighty themes, including sexual assault, with raw, unfiltered realism – viewed through the eyes of a generation unafraid to confront the darkest corners of modern life. Plus, Michaela Coel is at her absolute best.

## If you liked Severance, watch Maniac… 



 

Now in its second series – with some notable Grand Central PR stunts – *Severance* is a mind-bending triumph, blending corporate satire with psychological thriller to chilling effect. Set in a dystopian office where employees' work and personal memories are surgically divided, it’s a slick, unsettling take on modern work culture. It could slot into the *Black Mirror* genre, and if you’re into that brand of surreal, cerebral storytelling, *Maniac* will be right up your street. Both shows explore identity, memory and the blurred lines of reality, but while *Severance* leans into corporate horror, *Maniac* has a dreamlike, sci-fi edge. Starring Jonah Hill and Emma Stone, it dives into experimental drug trials, fractured minds and alternate realities with a darkly comic touch – equally trippy, just with a little more heart.
