This British crime drama series, loosely based on the novels by Alan Hunter, stars Martin Shaw as Inspector George Gently, an incorruptible cop transplanted from London to the North East of England in the mid-1960s. In the series premiere, Gently plans to collect his pension and fade into a lonely retirement. But after learning the whereabouts of his wife's killer, he sets off for Northumbria, bent on justice.

Our list of the most-watched GPB Passport programs in 2025 continues. 

● No. 4 Unforgotten
This award-winning cold case crime drama follows veteran London detectives who uncover the truth behind tangled, complicated murders from the past. The deeper the truth lies, the bigger the emotional toll for the suspects, the families left behind and for the detective inspectors themselves. Six seasons are available with GPB Passport.

● No. 3 Call the Midwife
A runaway hit for PBS when it premiered, Call the Midwife follows the women who train to become midwives in a poor district of London in the 1960s with the nuns who live and work in Nonnatus House. You’ll be able to start Season 15 on February 20 with GPB Passport -- a full month before the television premiere.

● No. 2 Grantchester
There’s no shortage of murder and mayhem in the seemingly quiet 1950s Cambridgeshire village of Grantchester, where a vicar turned amateur sleuth helps the local Detective Inspector solve his cases. Ten seasons are available with GPB Passport, and the eleventh and final season will air later this year.
