Score: 7.9
1 Season Netflix 8 x 45 mins
Us Brits like to think we’re pretty good at the ol’ barbie. But after watching this series, our tongs don’t feel so big anymore, and our measly burgers look distinctly underdone...
Score: 6.8
6 Seasons Netflix 30 x 50 mins

Score: 7.8
12 Seasons All4 114 x 60 mins

Score: 8.8
1 Season All4 6 x 25 mins
