'Sexy' Netflix period drama with near perfect rating has just days to stream
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video BBC political thriller The Hour which has been praised as 'outstanding' is imminently leaving Netflix UK. The 2011 drama which ran for two seasons is a star-studded affair featuring Dominic West, Ben Whishaw, Romola Garai and Peter Capaldi. Set in June 1956, the six-part drama, 'focuses on the launch of a new BBC program as the Suez Crisis is unfolding in the Middle East.' There's political intrigue, high-stakes reporting and messy romances – essentially all the ingredients which make a short BBC drama tick. And critics would agree with The Hour securing 94% on Rotten Tomatoes. As The New Yorker put it: 'With its casting, its look, its unfolding mysteries, its attention to important historical events, its sexiness, The Hour hits every pleasure center.'

And The Spectator added: 'The dialogue brims with zingers and has the velocity of an assault rifle, like the West Wing in its pomp, while the plot zooms along, twisting this way and that, oozing corruption, sex and ambition. And all against a setting best described as nostalgia on heat.' Den of Geek had nothing but love for the high-caliber cast, reflecting: Ben Whishaw is great as bitter, passionate hack Freddie, as is Romola Garai as Bel, an ambitious woman seemingly decades ahead of her own time. Both are upstaged, however, by the towering presence of Dominic West.' As for fans, one anonymous RT user said: 'Outstanding show: fantastic script by Abi Morgan who also did River and The Split and outstanding performances. Season 2 was even better than season one. The best show we saw this year!' 'Incredible cast and well written series, the historical setting is brilliant. Definitely worth a watch,' Debbra W echoed. In an interview with Uproxx at the time, writer Abi spoke about her approach to portraying women in the newsroom in this era. More Trending 'Well, Bel was inspired by a handful of women who were working at the BBC, most notably Grace Wyndham Goldie, who was a female producer of Panorama Tonight, which is like 60 Minutes. 'And so I knew those women existed, although they were a minority. But I think also what was kind of exciting for me also about Bel was I wanted to write about women in a post-war culture,' she said. She later added: 'I feel like this was a show that had a lot of women on it. Yet I'm still only one of a handful of female writers around. And invariably that sexism is still prevalent, still quite relevant to today.' View More » The last day to stream The Hour on Netflix is June 4. Got a story?

Outlander star's gritty detective drama set in Edinburgh lands on Netflix
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Outlander sensation Richard Rankin's acclaimed series, Rebus, has just landed on Netflix UK, marking the second screen adaptation of Sir Ian Rankin's celebrated Inspector Rebus novels. The beloved series kicked off in 1987 and continues to captivate readers with a whopping 25 stories to date. In the television adaptation, Outlander's very own Richard embodies the sleuth as he grapples with taking down an Edinburgh crime syndicate while juggling his personal demons. The programme was lauded by critics upon its debut, securing an impressive 100% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 12 critiques. Richard's portrayal earned him rave reviews, with The Spectator noting: "Richard Rankin is so perfectly believable in the role that you never tire of watching him and keep rooting for him even when he's being a complete and utter idiot." (Image: BBC) The New Statesman added its voice, remarking: "Part of what makes this Rebus so alluring is down to the beautifully concise manner in which the actor who plays him conveys his haphazard competence, his stoicism and feral endurance. He is so believable." Originally broadcast on BBC One, the series trails John Rebus as he navigates life post-divorce and a transforming work environment. This self-contained series spans six episodes, and Richard has previously shared his thoughts on stepping into such a legendary role. Chatting with Digital Spy, he expressed: "He's one of the, I suppose, most iconic Scottish detectives, and is still very much present in Ian Rankin's novels. He's got such a big fanbase. "So I think taking it on, I was probably aware that there'd be certain expectations and anticipation. "And they would have their own version of what they think the character should look like – which I think is good to be aware of." He elaborated: "To do the character as much justice as possible, I think you have to just acknowledge that, and park it, because you're not going to be able to give every version of everyone's expectations." The actor revealed investing significant time in researching the role, disclosing his engagement with a number of the Rebus novels. His aim was to reinterpret the character and stamp his mark on the role, highlighting that the series was "not a reboot or sequel". The Guardian lauded Richard as "the most irresistible incarnation yet", praising: "Richard Rankin's Rebus is physical, forceful and irresistible, his eyes twinkling by default yet capable of glazing over with regret or being suddenly clouded by crimson mist." Rebus is available to watch on Netflix

Netflix quietly adds 'one of the best war films ever'
Eight years after its release, the film is gaining a second life on Netflix. Netflix UK has added a real gem to its collection with the wartime drama Defiance, featuring the star power of James Bond's Daniel Craig and Ray Donovan's Liev Schreiber in an incredible true story from WWII. Daniel Craig and Liev Schreiber team up in the enthralling historical drama Defiance, the 2008 offering that's been garnering a cult following and is now thrilling Netflix UK audiences who hail it as "one of the best films ever." Set against the backdrop of Nazi-occupied Belarus, Defiance follows the extraordinary tale of the Bielski brothers - Tuvia, Zus, Asael, and Aron - four Jewish rebels who defiantly took on the Nazis by forming a vigilante group in the wilderness. Based on Nechama Tec's factual book Defiance: The Bielski Partisans, the film recounts their heroic saga of providing sanctuary to over 1,200 Jews in forest hideouts, building a veritable secret village threatened with constant jeopardy. The cast features Daniel Craig as Tuvia Bielski, the group's appointed head, whilst Liev Schreiber portrays his combative sibling Zus. Jamie Bell appears as their younger brother Asael, and a pre-1917 George MacKay plays the junior member of the clan, Aron, reports the Express. Helmed by Edward Zwick of The Last Samurai fame, Defiance had its US debut just shy of the 2009 awards season and was tipped for an Oscar for Best Original Score by composer extraordinaire James Newton Howard, with a Golden Globe nod to match. Filmed right in the heart of Lithuania, merely 200 kilometres from the original saga's setting, 'Defiance' took storytelling to the next level, utilising authentic forest backdrops and even enlisting extras with personal ties to Jewish kin saved by the Bielskis. The movie started off with a low key in selected theatres, but once it spread its wings for a wider showing, it managed to rake in an impressive $52 million across the globe. Reviewers sent out mixed signals, however, as time passed, it has only received more adulation from movie-goers. A gleaming review on Letterboxd enthused: "Must watch 10/10. Whenever you have Daniel Craig (Bond) and Liev Schreiber (Ray Donovan) play two Nazi-hunting Jews navigating a group of a thousand displaced Belorussian Jews through the Yarden forest, facing the ultimate adversity - you have me sold". Another chimed in with high praise: "Action-packed, great quotes, accurate, and a thrill ride from start to finish. You'll be rethinking how powerful a sense of community is. (People forget! )" Scores of cinema enthusiasts have lauded the film's potent narrative, a blend of vast survival themes and deeply personal character journeys. Defiance further delves into the intense pressure of steering a multitude amidst dire straits, especially as the numbers swell from a mere band to a throng surpassing one thousand souls. One viewer mused: "For me, one of the best films ever. So inspiring and tragic at the same time. Worth watching." Another queried its lack of wider acclaim, stating: "I still find it crazy that this film is not considered a modern classic, with its stunning cinematography, fantastic performances, and gripping story." Defiance can now be streamed on Netflix UK.
