Small Axe is currently streaming in the US on Amazon Prime Video, and in the UK on Sky Go and BBC iPlayer, and its 7/10 TMDB rating reflects what viewers who've already found it know. A tightly focused run that doesn't overstay its welcome.
Originally commissioned by BBC One, Small Axe quickly became exactly the kind of show that viewers rearrange their evenings for. An anthology series of five stories looking at the lives of a group of friends and their families in London’s West Indian community from the late 1960s to the early 80s. It aired in 2020.
