Looking to cozy up with Acorn TV during this cold weather? Here are our picks for the best series on this Anglophile-centric streaming service:
There is something soothing about watching television made wholly for a foreign audience. Not a foreign audience+Netflix. Not a foreign audience+PBS. Not a foreign audience+global cult comedy and/or sci-fi fans. Just, television not made with American audiences top of mind. Not only is all the baggage that accompanies watching television made for a native audience absent, the pressure to participate in any hashtag watercooler conversations about it is rendered moot.
Enter: Acorn TV, one of two major subscription streaming services* available to international audiences explicitly interested in content from across the pond. Well, acrossponds—in addition to series from Ireland and the UK, Acorn TV also distributes content from elsewhere in the English-speaking world , as well as from elsewhere in Europe .
With its roots planted more firmly on this side of the pond , Acorn TV is, on the whole, less comprehensive than its BBC/ITV-backed rival—a fact its slightly lower monthly subscription cost reflects.
