In amongst the festive treats of December, Sky original series Amadeus may have got somewhat lost in the shuffle. Now that we're in January, it could be the perfect time for those who missed it to dive right in.

The series stars Will Sharpe as Mozart and Paul Bettany is Salieri, and provides a new take on their almost certainly fictional rivalry, as first presented in Peter Shaffer's play.

All five episodes are available to stream on NOW in the UK, sitting alongside other recent acclaimed series such as It: Welcome to Derry and The Chair Company.

NOW is also home to widely discussed dramas The Last of Us and The Day of the Jackal, plus highly decorated comedy Hacks, with gritty crime thriller Gangs of London among the British originals to choose from.

All of this means it's the perfect place to head to if you're looking for an evening's entertainment. In fact, it's also where you can find real classics, such as HBO's The Wire and The Sopranos.

If you're looking for further inspiration for shows to watch on NOW, you've come to the right place – scroll on for our top picks, spanning recent releases and all-time greats.
