From smash hits with both critics and viewers to groundbreaking dramas that have defined a generation, we've got all genres covered. So why leave your house until Christmas? Get cozy on your sofa and grab the remote, because here are the seven best shows on BBC iPlayer according to Rotten Tomatoes.
First up, we have "Fleabag," a comedy-drama featuring the talented Phoebe Waller-Bridge as the titular character. With her trademark of breaking the fourth wall, Fleabag takes us on a journey through her life as a single woman in her 30s, managing a cafe in London after the death of her best friend. Praised for its portrayal of complex female characters, this show has spawned a whole new genre centered on "messy" millennial women.
Next on the list is "Ludwig," a cozy crime thriller that has been compared to the beloved series "Jonathan Creek." David Mitchell leads the cast as Ludwig, a neurotic puzzle whizz who is asked by his sister-in-law to investigate his brother's disappearance. As he takes on his brother's job as a police officer, Ludwig discovers his knack for solving murders.
For something a little more heartfelt, check out "Mr Loverman." Lennis James shines as Barrington 'Barry' Walker, a closeted gay man who has been in a secret, decades-long affair with his best friend. Based on the best-selling novel by Bernardine Evaristo, this show follows Barry as he struggles to come out to his family and live his truth.
"Colin from Accounts" is a charming romantic comedy set in Sydney that follows the unlikely love story between millennial Ashley and boomer Gordon. The real-life couple, Patrick Brammall and Harriet Dyer, have undeniable chemistry on screen as they navigate the ups and downs of their relationship after adopting an injured dog named Colin.
If you're in the mood for a thrilling mystery, "Keeping Faith" is the perfect show to keep you on your toes. The first season introduces us to Faith Howells, a lawyer on maternity leave whose life is turned upside down when her husband disappears without a trace. As she searches for answers, she uncovers secrets that make her question everything she thought she knew about her marriage.
For those who love a good cooking show, "Boiling Point" is a must-watch. Stephen Graham reprises his role as chef Andy Jones in this series that takes place five months after the events of the original film. Follow sous chef Carly as she opens her own restaurant in London and navigates the challenges of being a head chef.
Last but not least, we have "Life on Mars," a sci-fi crime drama that will keep you on the edge of your seat. John Simm stars as Sam Tyler, a police officer who travels back in time to 1973 after a car accident. As he tries to figure out how he ended up in the past, he works alongside DCI Gene Hunt (Philip Glenister) to solve cases and find a way back to his own time.
And if you manage to power your way through all two seasons of "Life on Mars," be sure to check out its spin-off, "Ashes to Ashes," which follows a police officer who wakes up in 1981 after being shot in 2008.
