Shows Like Downton Abbey: The Hour

If you loved Edith's newspaper storyline, then might we suggest The Hour, a drama set at the BBC in the 1950s? Ambitious producer Bel and idealistic reporter Freddie are BFFs (who also have some sizzling unresolved romantic tension) who get recruited to a new, in-depth news program that's supposed to dive deep into the most important issues of the week, every week. What starts out as a TV experiment soon leads the team to launch investigations around a murdered debutante, secret conspiracies, government cover-ups, the shady business underworld, and Cold War-era espionage that starts to hit very close to home.
