With many hidden gems being added to streaming services recently, it’s no surprise that older dramas are finding new audiences. One of the latest ITV dramas to shine on the platform is Keeley Hawes’ Finding Alice, which has just landed on Netflix and is already climbing the charts.

The six-part series first aired on ITV in early 2021, and begins with Alice (Keeley Hawes) and her family moving into a "smart house" that's full of modern technology. However, the exciting new start soon turns into a nightmare when her husband dies suddenly after falling down the stairs. As Alice grapples with grief, she discovers a web of secrets her late partner left behind, forcing her to confront painful truths.
