If you’re happy to stay home and hibernate this month, here are some ideas for what shows to tune into to pass the time. As the temperature drops, it’s time to stay in and binge watch some old favourites or catch up on series’ you may have missed when they first hit screens.

We’ve found the 10 top-rated shows on BBC iPlayer – which all have a near- perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes – to save you endlessly scrolling. These shows have all been smash hits with critics and viewers alike – including one drama that is considered to have defined a generation.

We’ve also got all genres covered – from an irreverent rom-com to murky thriller and everything in between. Really, there’s no need to leave your house now until the weather warms up, so get settled into your sofa and grab the remote. Here are the top picks.
![[GRABS: Lennie James stars in the BBC's tender queer romance Mr Loverman]](https://metro.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/SEI_225689830-a073-e1729779025207.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&w=646)
If you haven’t been acquainted with Fleabag, played by the inimitable Phoebe Waller-Bridge, or Andrew Scott’s iconic Hot Priest, then you’re in for a treat. The show follows Fleabag, a single woman navigating life and relationships in her 30s in London managing a cafe after the death of her best friend.
![[Colin From Accounts S2,03-09-2024,Blessings,1 - Blessings,Gordon (PATRICK BRAMMALL), Ashley (HARRIET DYER),Paramount+ ?2024,Joel Pratley]](https://metro.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/SEI_218804631-446c.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&w=646)
Fleabag was praised for its portrayal of complex female characters – and spawned a whole new genre centred on ‘messy’ millennial women. You’re in safe hands in this David Mitchell-helmed drama who plays, well, a character not dissimilar to David Mitchell.
