EastEnders (1985)
EastEnders is streaming in the UK on Sky Go.
The verdict
EastEnders is a hard series to make a case for on current ratings. It carries a 4.2/10 on TMDB across 229 ratings — under the line most people draw. Episodes clock in around 30 minutes. In the UK you can stream it on Sky Go.
Is it worth starting?
This is 42 seasons deep — English soap with a drama streak, not one for younger kids. Several seasons in, so it's a commitment to start rather than a one-night sampler.
- Why
- 4.2/10 across 229 ratings — audiences haven't taken to it, so go in curious rather than expectant.
- Skip if
- you don't want to start something several seasons deep
- Best for
- A long run rather than a single sitting
Story
