We've all faced the disappointment of finding a US drama we really want to watch, only for it not to be available in the UK.
The US is constantly creating must-see entertainment content and you might be thinking that these programs are only available to US audiences — but that's not the case.
Thanks to these US streaming platforms securing deals with UK broadcasters like Sky and ITV, we can now watch award-winning content from a variety of genres. Although the UK isn't guaranteed the same release date as those across the pond, it saves you from waiting an age until they reach UK screens.

Citadel season 2
Richard Madden, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Stanley Tucci are throwing themselves into more exciting espionage as they reprise their roles for the second season of Prime Video's hit spy series Citadel on May 6.
The trio return as elite operatives Mason Kane, Nadia Sinh and Bernard Orlick who work for a global spy agency that was destroyed by a powerful syndicate eight years ago. In Citadel season 2, the three agents are thrust back into action when a terrifying new threat emerges where "they must recruit an unlikely team of skilled new operatives and launch a globe-spanning mission to stop a conspiracy that could reshape humanity. With blockbuster action, shocking betrayals, and an expanded ensemble of mysterious agents, the stakes have never been higher, and anyone could be friend or foe."
There will be an array of new characters, with Jack Reynor, Matt Berry, Lina El Arabi, Merle Dandridge, Gabriel Leone, and Rayna Vallandingham all joining the cast this season.
It's been three years since Citadel season 1 aired, so if you need a reminder on what happened, then check out out Citadel episode recaps and ending explained.
