Sienna Miller and Dominic West in War.

Nothing’s fair in love and war — and it’s especially true in the very watchable HBO series War. Dominic West and Sienna Miller play a high-profile British couple duking it out in a high-stakes divorce. And the cutthroat litigation between the law firms representing them threatens to rival any of the marriage drama they’ve got going on. War was created by George Kay, who is also behind shows like Lupinand Highjack.

If you enjoy high stakes, bingeable dramas, check out these episodes:

‘Nemesis’ brings strong ‘Heat’ vibes, and we’re not mad at it

‘The Pitt’ approaches the end of a very long shift
