1. 'What It Feels Like For a Girl' (2025)
Adapted from Paris Lees' own memoir, this British limited series is a raw and powerful coming-of-age tale. It follows Byron/Paris (Ellis Howard), a trans teenager navigating life in a small working-class town, caught between self-discovery and self-destruction. The stellar supporting cast includes Laura Haddock, Hannah Walters, Michael Socha, and more.
This show was one of the most acclaimed new series of 2025 in the UK, earning multiple BAFTA nominations—including Best Actor for Ellis Howard, Best Writer for Paris Lees, and Best Limited Drama. It's a complex, enthralling narrative that stays with you long after the credits roll.
2. 'The Better Sister' (2025)
If you're craving a thriller with emotional depth, The Better Sister is your pick. Created by Olivia Milch and based on Alafair Burke's novel, this limited series stars Jessica Biel and Elizabeth Banks as estranged sisters Chloe and Nicky. After Chloe's husband (and Nicky's ex) Adam is murdered, the sisters must unite to protect the people they love. The cast also includes Kim Dickens, Matthew Modine, and Lorraine Toussaint.
While the mystery plot has a few rough edges, the show is carried by the electric chemistry between Biel and Banks. Elizabeth Banks delivers one of her best performances in years, making this a character-driven drama that's as much about family dynamics as it is about solving a crime.
3. 'The Peripheral' (2022)
For sci-fi fans, The Peripheral is an underrated gem that deserves a second look. Created by Scott B. Smith and loosely based on William Gibson's novel, the series stars Chloë Grace Moretz as a VR gamer in 2032 who stumbles into a hyper-realistic simulation—and a time-travel conspiracy. The cast includes Gary Carr, Jack Reynor, and T'Nia Miller.
Executive-produced by Westworld creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, this cyberpunk thriller boasts stunning visuals and intricate world-building. Though it was canceled during the 2023 strikes after a promising first season, it remains a must-watch for fans of hard sci-fi.
