Ovation stands out with peculiar mix of art-centric features and a lot of shows involving killing. One minute it’s spotlighting big celebrity names on Artist to Icons and “less-celebrated forms of art” (like ice sculptures or sushi) on The Art Of. The next minute it’s Midsomer Murders, and Death In Paradise, and The Doctor Blake Mysteries, and yes, it’s a much longer minute. And you can catch their entire lineup anytime with just a live TV subscription.
