10 Best British TV Shows Of 2018 (So Far)

The Split is among the best of BBC's offerings this year. The six-part drama deals with family law, a subject not explored enough on television, and writer Abi Morgan has truly penned some magnificent scripts.

Hannah Stern - formerly Hannah Defoe - has recently left her family law firm to take a new job at rival firm Noble & Hale when we first meet her. Her life is perfect on the outside, but when her estranged father shows up, the cracks start to show - both at work and in her personal life.

Starring the fabulous Nicola Walker, The Split is everything it promises to be and more. The writing speaks for itself, and it's a breath of fresh air to find a thoroughly enjoyable series that doesn't have subjects like murder, death, or the mafia at the forefront. Despite its flashy exterior, The Split is simply about real people, with real problems.

If The Split sounds right up your street then dig in while it's still on the BBC iPlayer. As it's a co-production with America, the series airs on Sundance TV in the U.S.
