Winter is here (allegedly — as a snow loving Boston resident, I’m miffed) and so is a drama fan favorite holiday tradition: the Call The Midwife Holiday Special! I’m here to recap the show just in case you missed it, or just couldn’t get enough of our favorite nurses, nuns, and other assorted denizens of Poplar.

Have you ever had friends recommend you try something, you put it off for a while, and then immediately regret waiting so long after you finally do try it? This was my experience with Murdoch Mysteries… except we’re talking about over a decade of putting it off. Whether you’re a period drama or mystery fan, Murdoch Mysteries is a great wintertime binge.

GBH Drama interviewed Bertie Carvel on what motivates Dalgliesh this season, why the series changed the timeline of the novels, and taking on the double roles of actor and director for “Cover Her Face”.

The Marlow Murder Club is a welcome addition to the MASTERPIECE tradition of female investigators outsmarting the police — and in some cases, fellow officers — to bring wrongdoers to justice. Not only does the series show three women using their life experiences and observations, but most importantly, it shows that the small English village mystery genre can include Black and Asian diaspora characters without resorting to tokenization.

The following are four excellent shows I think you should watch in November. Why? Because they all give off strong late autumn vibes, and there’s something for everyone. All of these series are available for GBH members to stream any time on the PBS App.

Rivals is Hulu’s latest venture into original British series. The limited series, based on Jilly Cooper’s novel by the same name, picks up semi-thematically where Nolly and Funny Woman left off with the uber-competitive world of 1980’s UK independent television but ups the ante on discussing gender and racial politics.
