Description

Been using Acorn TV: Brilliant Hit Series for a couple months now. It’s basically a streaming service that specializes in shows from the UK, Ireland, Australia, and other spots around the world. Pretty solid app if you’re into British TV and mysteries.

Here’s what you do: you can browse their library of dramas, comedies, documentaries, and more. There’s also a bunch of exclusive Acorn TV originals you can’t find anywhere else. And they’re always adding new stuff – took me a while to dig through everything but there’s plenty to watch.

Look, if you’re a fan of shows like Doc Martin, Midsomer Murders, or Agatha Raisin, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – the interface can be a little clunky at times – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out, especially since you can try it free for a week.

Editor Opinion

So here's my honest take on Acorn TV: Brilliant Hit Series. I've tested a bunch of streaming apps and this one's pretty solid if you're into British TV. The content library is really impressive - tons of hard-to-find shows that you can't get on Netflix or Hulu. The app is easy to use for the most part, though the interface can be a little clunky at times. And while the free trial is nice, the monthly subscription is a little pricey compared to other options. But if you're a diehard Anglophile, it's probably worth it.

Great content. App needs work. 1. Doesn't return to "resume" episode in series. Have to find series (season), then find the episode. 2. Streaming gets choppy after about 15 minutes...

So far, I'm glad I just got the free trial. The streaming has been hiccupy, making it difficult to watch. In addition, in the app, as far as I can...
