Acorn TV bills itself as North America’s largest streaming service specializing in premium British and international television, and it certainly has a library to back up such a claim.
Yes, it’s got your standard British cop dramas, with detective inspectors solving grisly killings all over the United Kingdom. But it also boasts crime dramas set around the world, from South Africa to Northern Australia. Plus, period pieces abound, with one notable series set in WWII-era Hastings and another set in 1960s Melbourne. And loads of comedy lighten up the Acorn TV offerings.
