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.
Here are the US dramas available to watch on both UK channels and streaming this week, as well as our top picks.
Dark Winds season 4
The fourth season of one of TV's hidden gems, Dark Winds, blows on to U&Alibi on 17 October. The hit crime drama follows Navajo Tribal Police officers Joe Leaphorn (Zahn McClarnon), Jim Chee (Kiowa Gordon), and Bernadette Manuelito (Jessica Matten) who solve mysteries as their reservation becomes overwhelmed by violent crimes in the 1970s.
The official plot synposis adds: "Every mystery uncovers old wounds that run deep, not only in their own lives, but in the collective past of the community they serve. Each step closer to the truth forces the two men to confront their own personal demons, family trauma, and evil forces that threaten the uneasy balance of reservation life."

The Terminal List season 2
Prime Video's hit espionage thriller series The Terminal List returns for a brand-new chapter on 21 October, which sees Navy SEAL Commander James Reece (Chris Pratt) embark on a dangerous globe-trotting mission.
Based on Jack Carr's second novel in the series, True Believer, this season tracks James as he goes on a journey of violent redemption after finishing his list. He soon uncovers a conspiracy that spans across the Indian Ocean, Southern and Northern Africa, the Middle East, and Europe, where he must stop a resurgent terrorist group that has turned one of his former allies against him.
The Last of Us star Gabriel Luna joins the cast as Freddy Strain alongside returning favourites Tom Hopper as Raife Hastings, Constance Wu as Katie Buranek, Dar Salim as Mohammed Farooq, and Luke Hemsworth as Jules Landry.
The Way Home
This time travel drama focuses on three generations of strong and independent women — Alice Dhawan (Sadie Laflamme-Snow), Del Landry (Andie MacDowell), and Kat Landry (Chyler Leigh) — as they go on an enlightening journey to find their way back to each other and face their family's complex past.
The entire first season of The Way Home will be available to watch on ITVX on 18 October.
