A gripping period drama that has viewers 'obsessed' is available to be streamed now09:05, 05 Jul 2026Fans of Downton Abbey will be delighted to hear that another "brilliant" period drama is currently available to stream.‌Outrageous, which charts the lives of the aristocratic Mitford sisters and features Bessie Carter, Isobel Jesper Jones, Joanna Vanderham and James Purefoy, is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.‌The series, set in the 1930s, follows the siblings "who refused to play by the rules, their often-scandalous lives making headlines around the world".‌"The show explores how and why these women, unwilling to conform, were so ahead of their time - and what drove them to take their very different, complex and often dangerous paths," a synopsis said. "A family saga like no other, this is the Mitfords as they really were: unapologetic, outrageous and utterly human."Having first aired in 2025, the show quickly won over audiences, who have hailed it as "outrageously good", reports Wales Online.‌"The acting and casting are superb, each sister is pitch-perfect, capturing their eccentricities and contradictions with warmth, sharpness and real emotional weight," one viewer posted on IMDb."Even moments I thought I knew surprised me in performance. My only complaint is that we don't have a second series yet. It's brilliantly addictive, almost impossible not to binge in one go.""Oh my I'll just be broken hearted if there is no seasons after this one," added another viewer, praising the "fantastic" acting. Another described it as "delicious", while someone else chimed in: "Brilliant - I wasn't sure about it to start with but, by the end, I couldn't wait for the next series, which there obviously will be."‌"Best series I've seen in a while!" exclaimed another viewer. "I thoroughly enjoyed season one of Outrageous. I was hooked straight from episode one and had to binge all the rest!""Every single person needs to watch this!" one fan posted on review site Rotten Tomatoes, while another wrote: "Absolutely brilliant series, thoroughly enjoyed every episode."‌"Excellent," said another. "The acting is superb, the story chilling. Looking forward to a second season - fingers crossed."A separate user took to Reddit to declare they were "obsessed". "THIS HAD ME GLUED!" exclaimed another impressed viewer."I WORRIED ABOUT THESE GIRLS in spite of knowing I could look up the outcome! There HAS to be a season 2!!!"Article continues belowOutrageous is available on BBC iPlayer.
