Summer 2026 Recap of British TV

It's the quarterly watchlist roundup. This time I'm covering six shows I watched over July, August, and September: the bomb disposal thriller Trigger Point, Brenda Blethyn's saga A Woman of Substance, the Australian cozy mystery Return to Paradise, season four of The Chelsea Detective, the underrated Inspector Ellis, and season five of Professor T. For each one, I break down the synopsis, the stars and the characters they play, how audiences responded, and exactly where I land.
