Beecham House

Looking for a drama that respects your time, available in Australia on Stan, and in the US on Peacock Premium and PBS Masterpiece Amazon Channel? Beecham House is a real answer. A compact run that never overstays its welcome. A 7/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Watch it for Tom Bateman — one of the stronger performances out there right now. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Stan.

Beecham House is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. Beecham House trusts its audience to sit with discomfort instead of resolving it too quickly. On the cusp of the 19th century in Delhi, we follow the fortunes of the residents of the titular mansion. The story begins as handsome and soulful former English soldier John Beecham has acquired the house to start a new life for his family and a business as a trader. Tom Bateman and Dakota Blue Richards lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2019. Beecham House resists tidy resolutions in a way that respects how messy real consequences actually are. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Viewers drawn to character-driven storytelling will find plenty to sit with in Beecham House. Harlots is the obvious comparison, but Beecham House earns its own place alongside it. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Tom Bateman carries the material with a performance that rewards close attention. Worth starting sooner rather than later.

Beecham House wrapped up in 2019, created by Gurinder Chadha, Shahrukh Husain and Paul Mayeda Berges — and 1 season is available to watch from start to finish.
