A Cruel Love: The Ruth Ellis Story
The Ruth Ellis Story reopens one of Britain's most infamous and tragic real-life cases—the final woman to be hanged in the UK. This ITV drama paints Ruth not merely as a femme fatale, but as a deeply wounded woman caught in a society that punished passion with death. Swathed in emerald elegance and post-war shadows, Ruth’s life unravels as she falls for a man whose love is as toxic as it is intoxicating. The series unspools her descent with cinematic style, peeling back layers of glamour, desperation, and injustice. Every hallway, every glance speaks of a doomed love wrapped in moral ambiguity. It’s not just a courtroom story—it’s a feminist indictment of a patriarchal justice system. Balancing historical accuracy with stylized drama, A Cruel Love demands empathy for a woman history tried to forget. A haunting blend of romance and reckoning.

S*x Education
S*x Education is a bold, funny, and heartwarming dramedy that tackles teenage awkwardness with raw honesty and bright humor. At the center is Otis, a painfully self-aware teen raised by his s*x therapist mother, who’s thrust into the role of unofficial school s*x guru. Alongside Maeve, a sharp, troubled rebel, and Eric, his flamboyant and loyal best friend, Otis sets up a secret therapy clinic at school.

It’s a rare series that laughs at teen discomfort while still honoring its truth. Behind its comic bravado is a quietly radical sensitivity.

Dope Girls
Set against the fiery chaos of post-WWI London, Dope Girls dives into a gritty underworld ruled not by gangsters, but by bold women navigating power, drugs, and survival. As Britain rebuilds from war, a new kind of rebellion brews in the nightclubs and alleys—where women like Kate emerge as fierce figures in a narcotic-fueled subculture. Amid crimson riots and crumbling societal norms, she becomes both an icon and a target. Torn between rebellion and responsibility, her wings—literal or symbolic—show her transformation from victim to vanguard. With blood-soaked symbolism and revolutionary fervor, the series marries historical grime with surreal beauty. Every frame pulses with danger, desire, and the weight of female rage. As law and morality blur, the show doesn’t ask if the heroine is good, only if she’ll survive. Think Peaky Blinders with stilettos, o***m, and flaming wings. Brutal, poetic, and unapologetically feminist.

Landscapers (2021)
Inspired by a bizarre true crime, Landscapers turns the conventional murder mystery on its head with dark whimsy and surreal storytelling. Olivia Colman and David Thewlis star as Susan and Christopher Edwards, a seemingly mild-mannered couple hiding a decades-old secret: the bodies of her parents buried in their garden. Told through unreliable narration, cinematic flashbacks, and fourth-wall-breaking sequences, the series becomes more than a whodunit—it’s a tragic love story, a satire on justice, and a portrait of two broken people clinging to fantasy. The performances are haunting and intimate, particularly Colman’s vulnerable portrayal of a woman lost in film, delusion, and guilt. Visually daring and emotionally intricate, Landscapers mixes comedy, noir, and heartbreak into a singularly strange tone. It asks not just what happened, but why people choose to rewrite the truth. One of the most inventive crime dramas in recent memory.

By season four, the emotional stakes rise as the couple must navigate parenthood and identity while keeping their love intact. Trying is a celebration of imperfect people trying to do something extraordinary—build a family, against all odds.

Darkly witty and emotionally shattering, Patrick Melrose is a five-part character study that follows the titular aristocrat—played in a career-defining turn by Benedict Cumberbatch—through a lifetime of trauma, addiction, and reluctant self-examination.

Each episode is set in a different era, tracking Patrick’s journey from drug-fueled breakdowns to sober reckonings, from glamorous high society to internal ruin. Cumberbatch’s raw performance peels away the armor of privilege to expose a soul wrestling with demons. The show’s writing is poetic and biting, capturing both the absurdity and tragedy of upper-class dysfunction. Visually inventive and emotionally exacting, Patrick Melrose is less about addiction and more about the unbearable inheritance of pain. A brutal, brilliant descent into the wreckage of a life—and the fight to climb back out.
