Google Play gets TV shows in the UK

Jordan O'Brien

August 1, 2013

Americans have had the pleasure of pursuing the Google Play store for all their TV show needs, but now UK users have that same option with the service rolling out today.

Right now the TV shows on offer range from the big American shows such as Homeland and Breaking Bad as well as content from the BBC — so your fix of Sherlock or Top Gear are all present.

Currently we can’t see anymore in the way of UK Networks, with the list only showing BBC and Discovery at launch — this should change in the near future though.
