Once upon a time, a long time ago, there were just four TV channels in the UK. Programmes were just 30 minutes long, and were on just once a week, too. It was a simple time, some say a better time, but honestly… it was boring!

Then along camestreaming servicesand everything got a fair bit better.

The best thing about living in the age of streaming is the constant option to binge content on an almost biblical level. With multiple streaming platforms all producing new shows every single week, it would be very simple these days to simply fill your days with hour after hour of quality television.

Some shows run for multiple seasons and that’s great, but there is also something special about those shows that pack a lot into a single, perfect and utterly binge-able run.

Here are three great examples.

The Responder

There is a point during this series when Martin Freeman’s protagonist Carl declares to a blatantly uninterested and overworked therapist that “this job has broken me”. This admission, given at a point of absolute despair, is the crux of the show and the point at which the true nature of his character is laid bare. Modern life and especially modern policing breaks those involved. It breaks their spirit, it removes hope, and it breaks down the morality of those it touches.

It is from this base point on which the five-part drama,The Responder, is set.

In stark contrast to many police dramas out today, there is no real resolution toThe Responder, no real victory, just a sense of survival and problems that will simply repeat. It is also, at only five episodes, a perfect single binge.

Although there is a second season in the pipeline, so it’s best to get the first done and dusted sooner than later.

Obliterated

There are some shows that are great because of the basics, such as fantastic direction, beautiful cinematography, and award winning performances… then there isObliterated. It is a show so universally bad in every respect that it crosses the line into essential viewing.

The plot of the show, for what it is, revolves around a group of special forces-style FBI agents tasked with taking down a terrorist threat involving a proposed nuclear attack on Las Vegas. From those very basic bare bones, the show goes off on what can only be described as “a tangent”.

Imagine the 2000s show24, but instead of tense drama and intrigue you had copious amounts of drug use, full frontal nudity, sex toys, binge drinking, gore, gremlins, male strippers and, of course, a drunk camel. It’s blatant in its disregard for current values, bold to the point of being indulgent, and seemingly unafraid to cross any and all boundaries.

But, with all that being said, if you can get through the first 20 minutes, you will find it an entertaining binge… like eating a huge kebab at 3am.

The English

Tales of revenge are nothing new, but few are centered on a female lead.

The Englishtells the simple story of a mother driven to revenge through the murder of her son. She has travelled across the world, from England to a newly-founded America, to kill those responsible and will stop at nothing from achieving this.

Every word spoken and minor action adds to the dramatic tension and exposition – with the camera work catching every nuance. It all adds up to truly top shelf direction and production (Blick and Blick and Blunt respectively).

There is no sentimentality inThe English. The brutality of the Wild Western times are highlighted perfectly and at no point do you feel safe. There is a constant looming dread over every scene and every character is flawed in their own way. There are no heroes here, just people trying to survive during a time of huge upheaval.

Special mention has to go out to Rafe Spall who, through the character of David Melmont, brings to screen one of the greatest TV villains in modern times. An absolute psychopath who repulses in every scene he is in… a stunning performance.
