10 Best British TV Shows Of 2018 (So Far)

Penned by BAFTA-award winning writer Jack Thorne, Kiri tells the story of a young girl who vanishes during a visit to her biological grandparents' house. As it was social worker Miriam who orchestrated said visit, the blame falls on her head when Kiri disappears and she becomes public enemy number one. The compelling four-part series received critical acclaim for its wonderful pacing, as well as Thorne's writing, when it aired on Channel 4 earlier this year.

Although some viewers were left disgruntled by the abrupt ending, Kiri accomplishes what it set out to do. It asks all the right questions and, much like Collateral, it was never about the who, it was about the why.

Sarah Lancashire delivers yet another award-worthy performance in Kiri, and the other cast members are brilliant too. The four-part show really is edge-of-seat drama at its finest.
