Miniseries are perhaps the perfect balance between a movie that's too short and a show that goes on too long and then gets cancelled on a cliff hanger. Miniseries allow viewers to take comfort in knowing the story has a decent ending. For some, watching a TV show only to have it get cancelled is a huge pet peeve, so we wanted to highlight miniserie...

Pride and Prejudice
Does it get better than the 1995 miniseries adaption of P&P Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle? The miniseries length suits Jane Austen's classic book better than a movie because it allows more time to tell the full story. Austen’s bookanalyzes how the class system creates prejudice and keeps love from flourishing. It revolves around Elizabeth Bennet and the brooding, mysterious Mr. Darcy. You can find this adaptation streaming on BritBox and for purchase on Amazon Prime. 1. Want more Austen? We h...
Sense and Sensibility
While we love the 1995 movie with Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet, Hugh Grant, Alan Rickman, and Hugh Laurie, the 2008 miniseries adaption of Austen's novelis worth watching and features a great cast of its own. It stars: Dominic Cooper, Dan Stevens, Mark Gatiss, and David Morrissey. Charity Wakefield, Hattie Morahan, and Lucy Boynton star as the Dashwood sisters. The second wife of Mr. Dashwood and her daughters are now poor due to an unfair inheritance. Like all of Austen's stories, this one is...
The Game
The Gameisn't quite modern, but surely the 1970s were only, what, twenty years ago? (Kidding). Okay, this miniseries stars Tom Hughes, Brian Cox, Shaun Dooley, Victoria Hamilton, Paul Ritter, Jonathan Aris, and Chloe Pirrie. (It's written by Toby Whithouse who created the supernatural show Being Human and often writes episodes of Doctor Who). This understated, slow-burn, bleak cold-war MI-5 thriller follows the story of Joe Lambe, an MI-5 agent. He and his co-workers are tasked with locating...
