10 Best British TV Shows Of 2018 (So Far)

5. Save Me

Patrick Melrose Benedict Cumberbath
Sky Atlantic

Just when you thought The Walking Dead's Lennie James couldn't get any more talented, he goes and writes a compelling drama series - one that he also stars in. Save Me dropped on Sky Atlantic earlier this year, with all of the episodes made available immediately after the first had aired, and it's easy to see why: it's without a doubt one of the most binge-worthy shows of the year.

Much like Kiri, Save Me tells the story of the disappearance of a young girl. Jody's vanishing puts her ne'er-do-well father Nelly Rowe (James) in the frame, despite the fact he's had no contact with her since she was a little girl.

There's also a lot of focus on Nelly's ex, Clare McGory, which is great as it gives actress Suranne Jones plenty of opportunities to work her magic. Jones has led some of Britain's biggest and best shows over the past few years - Scott & Bailey and Doctor Foster to name a few - and she's just as good in Save Me.

If Save Me sounds like your cup of tea, then you'll be pleased to hear that all episodes are still available on Sky.
