People say this is the golden age of TV, and they re right. The problem is, it takes a lot of brass to appreciate the gold.
Look at BritBox, a repeats-on-demand service that has branched in to commissioning its own original shows with an excellent three-part series on the rise and fall of 1960s gangsters the Kray twins debuting yesterday.
BritBox is doing what Netflix set out to do eight or nine years ago, but with a British back catalogue. It offers subscribers access to thousands of dramas, comedies and documentaries from the vaults. If you re an avid TV watcher (why else would you even be thinking about spending your money on BritBox?), you ve seen most of this fare before.
