Netflix
An enormous catalogue. A more considered shortlist.

A note on where you watch
These guides use Netflix’s UK title listings, with the check date shown in each article. Catalogues and plan restrictions can change; follow the title link and confirm playback in your own account. A rating describes our editorial recommendation, not availability or a Netflix user score.
