Technically speaking, there are nine titles from the UK and one from Ireland on this list of Tubi’s recent TV show additions.
If you’ve gone through everything in your to-watch queues and are looking for something to binge on, here are several shows on Tubi to consider.
Clone (currently a Tubi exclusive)
Jonathan Pryce (Taboo) stars in this comedy series as Dr. Victor Blenkinsop, a modern-day Dr. Frankenstein who creates the first human clone (Stuart McLoughlin, Elizabeth: The Golden Age). Only the clone is an innocent rather than the super soldier Victor intended him to be. Clone costars Mark Gatiss (Sherlock), Oliver Maltman (Knightfall), and Fiona Glascott (Indian Summers).
One of my absolute favorite comedy series, Count Arthur Strong follows the hilarious misadventures and misunderstandings of Arthur (Steve Delaney, Agatha Christie’s Poirot), an elderly, unemployed actor prone to malapropisms, and Michael (Rory Kinnear, Penny Dreadful), a writer and the son of Arthur’s former vaudeville partner who befriends him. Season One (of three) is currently available on Tubi.
Exile (currently a Tubi exclusive)
John Simm (Life on Mars) and Jim Broadbent (King Lear) lead the cast of this three-part thriller as magazine writer Tom Ronstadt and Sam, his Alzheimer’s-stricken father. After Tom gets sacked and moves back home, where his sister Nancy (Olivia Colman, The Crown) is caring for Sam, he begins to delve into the mystery that forced him to leave home nearly 20 years ago. Exile costars Claire Goose (The Coroner), Shaun Dooley (Gunpowder), and Timothy West (EastEnders).
Hidden (currently a Tubi exclusive)
Philip Glenister (Ashes to Ashes) stars in this four-part thriller as Harry Venn, a solicitor who agrees to help mysterious lawyer Gina Hawkes (Thekla Reuten, Stan Lee’s Lucky Man) find a missing alibi witness for her client. In doing so, he unwittingly gets drawn into a complex conspiracy involving the British political system and the death of his brother twenty years ago.

Secrets of the Irish Landscape
In this three-part documentary, presenter Derek Mooney (Mrs. Brown’s Boys) follows in the footsteps of renowned Irish naturalist Robert Lloyd Praeger — embarking on an epic journey around Ireland and Europe — to tell the story of Ireland’s landscape and how it came to be since the last Ice Age. Along the way, Mooney discovers how Ireland’s first farmers completely altered the Irish landscape 6,000 years ago.
