BritBox features

The service also recommends similar shows based on the page you are on. You won't have to sit through any ads while you binge.
On the other hand, the platform doesn't offer multiple profiles and the only way you can download content for offline viewing is if you've subscribed to BritBox via Apple TV Channels. As for video quality, some titles are available in 4K if you have a compatible device (Samsung smart TV, Telstra TV 4700 or Roku), or you watch via Prime Video channels. The rest are HD or SD quality. Audio descriptions aren't available.
Should I get BritBox?
If you love British telly, it may be a good choice. The service is a great resource for TV enthusiasts who want to rediscover classic series or find something new to watch from the UK. There's plenty of content available, from dramas to comedies. If you're into British detective shows, you're more than covered.
Beyond that, if you're only interested in a few British shows, it may not be worth it for the long term. You may just want to dip in and dip out depending when a show is on the service.
Don't forget, the platform comes with a 7-day free trial, so you can test it out to decide if you want to keep it in the long run.
