I like murder mysteries like Wallander, Shetland, Lewis, Endeavour, Inspector Morse, and Hinterland. Anyone have suggestions?
I like documentaries, too. Currently making my way through Ken Burns' Vietnam War series, so I'm open to suggestions like this, too.
One more - Trapped which is Icelandic.
shareThank you! I have a couple of things to check out this weekend!
shareIf you do youtube, here's a sit-down 'Hell, I was there' documentaries for the A-12. (think SR-71, but faster).
May not be suitable for youngsters or polite company due to some fairly colorful language.

I'll see what else I can find.
Thanks!
shareThe Italian Montalbano movies.
shareCan you please give me a bit more detail? I can't find anything at the moment.
shareThis tv series, Glen:

But I have to admit, I have no idea if you can watch it anywhere.🤷♀️
Bummer. Checked my library, but no luck. Thanks anyway.
shareThat's a shame. I'm trying to think of British detectives I like, but I think you've seen most of them!
How about Poirot? Miss Marple (starring Joan Hickson)? Sherlock Holmes (starring Jeremy Brett)? Frost? Jonathan Creek? Death in Paradise?
How about American murder mystery shows?
Poirot's on my watch-list. I forgot about Miss Marple so I'll be checking that one out. I tried the Sherlock with Benedict Cumberbatch but didn't care for it. I'll take a look at the Jeremy Brett version, thanks! Jonathan Creek is new to me. My library has that one so it's now on my list, thanks! I've added Death in Paradise to my Netflix list. I've seen and enjoyed A Touch of Frost. Thanks for all the suggestions, Stratego!
shareYou have never seen Poirot and Holmes ? My wife and I never missed these back in the 90s. Used to come on PBS on Sunday nights - back in the Dark Ages before streaming.
shareI've led a sheltered life...what can I say?? 😔
shareThey're really great shows, especially Poirot.
shareI almost can't believe that I've never seen Poirot. It ran for a long time, I see. Definitely on my list.
shareI'd like to point out, though, that I much prefer the episodes from the 90s. I rather dislike the movies from the 2000s.
shareThanks, I'll keep that in mind. There are a few series that I've stopped watching because they've changed too much or dragged things out. Downton Abby comes to mind. I stopped after series 3.
sharemindhunter - the development of profiling within the FBI, starting in the 60s
ripper street - victorian-era police procedural
battle creek - light-hearted police station drama
I've added these to my watch list. I've already watched three episodes of Battle Creek. I find it to be quite entertaining. Thanks!
shareits a very cute set up, isn't it. all the characters are charming. and none of them are clowns, even the minor characters are pretty good cops. even niblet !
i would have thought vince gilligan would get more than a one year shot on cbs for the show to catch on.
Sorry it took me so long...had to deal with a pest last night😉,
Happy valley might be something for you...and maybe the fall...although the latter is quite intense...maybe not for you👍 others have also added some excellent suggestions...hope you find what you are looking for😊
I've seen Happy Valley and that was pretty intense for me. Not sure about The Fall, but it's on my list to check it out. Thanks!
shareThere are some great suggestions all ready.
I would add: Luther, Broadchurch and The Sinner.
