50 Ways to Kill Your Mother: New Favorite Show from the UK


It’s not what you’re thinking, despite the words “kill,” “mother,” and “reality series” being in the title. What 50 Ways to Kill Your Mother is, is my new #1 favorite TV show.

As Snagglepuss would say, “Heavens to Murgatroyd!” Foyle’s War is ending. As in no more new seasons, ever.

A new year of British TV is off to a fabulous start in the US, so let’s look at what’s coming up for the rest of 2015, starting with the programs premiering in January.

The eagerly-awaited debut of the crime-thriller, Fortitude, is happening in a few weeks. With the temperatures plunging to freezing and sub-zero in many places, the timing for this crime drama set in the Arctic couldn’t be more spot on.

Crikey. It looks like things are not all peaches and cream in the world of Harry Selfridge. Take a peek for yourself with ITV’s trailer for the upcoming third series of the hit period drama, Mr. Selfridge.

Holiday gifts have arrived early in the form of new video streaming titles, including a few comedies and a drama. Go ahead. Get your binge-watch on.

Foyle’s War, the BAFTA Award-nominated drama adored by critics and fans alike, returns to telly with a new season next year. Makes you wish it were 2015 already, doesn’t it?

Magic is in the offing at BBC America when it debuts its original fantasy drama, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, in 2015.
