3 BritBox shows you should watch in July 2024 | Tech Reader

Dunkirk (2004)

The series follows these soldiers as they anxiously wait, and we learn about the small boats that were sent to rescue them. Dunkirk is one of the most compelling true stories ever told, and this docu-drama, which co-stars a young Benedict Cumberbatch, gives us many different perspectives on the beauty and horrors of the evacuation.

If you read the initial description of Suspects, you might naturally confuse it with the more conventional crime procedurals that we have in the U.S. The major difference, though, is that Suspects is largely improvised by the actors who play the detectives at the show’s center, and the series is filmed in a style that is meant to imitate a fly-on-the-wall documentary.

This interesting mashup of styles and genres leads to a show that is riveting, in part because it follows the natural patterns of human behavior. You never know what’s coming next.

Tourism shows can sometimes be underrated. The Great British Countryside is more than a decade old, but it’s still one of the best series showcasing all the splendor of the United Kingdom. The U.K. is often a country derided as gloomy and cold, but this show’s brilliance is in acknowledging those truths while finding plenty to love about the country the Brits call home.

Hosts Hugh Dennis and Julia Bradbury dive into the country’s splendor, and the ways it has shaped the lives of those living in the country for generations and centuries. It’s a fitting tribute to the country it calls home.
