What are the top BritBox shows?
We actually have a full list of BritBox shows if you want an in depth guide but as to some of its top shows well let's start with Trigger Point season 2, the thriller series starring Line of Duty's Vicky McClure.
Martin Freeman's critically acclaimed series The Responder season 2 is also available. Continuing the crime theme John Simm's Grace season 4 is on the service.
BritBox has produced a number of original shows including Magpie Murders, adapted from Anthony Horowitz's hit novel. Other originals include the mystery series Murder in Provence, starring Roger Allam and Nancy Carroll, and the Agatha Christie adaptation, Murder is Easy.
There's also The Dry, which takes a humorous look at staying sober and stars Roisin Gallagher and Ciarán Hinds. Plus Hotel Portofino, a period drama set on the Italian Riviera starring Natascha McElhone.
One of BritBox's biggest draws is Sanditon, with all three seasons available. The glorious costume drama has been a huge hit, especially in the US. The service also has the largest collection of Downton Abbey content in North America. So, if you're into Downton — and who isn't?! — then BritBox could be a good investment. Plus US fans can also enjoy the latest series of Silent Witness, Silent Witness season 27.
