Best British crime dramas

[AlternativelyWired]

What is yours? And yes I know it's not an AIBU but posting for traffic is a crime I like committing.
Personally, I can't decide. Happy Valley was bloody brilliant and I loved Broadchurch, Shetland. I also love the more lighthearted Father Brown, Grantchester and Jonathan Creek. Scott and Bailey was binge watched with great joy.

Can you pick a favourite? Just one?

Line of Duty.

Happy Valley all day long.

Endeavour

Too hard to choose just one!

Happy Valley
Line of Duty
Waking the dead
Broadchurch series 1
Between the Lines

Cracker

The first two series of Prime Suspect

The early series of Luther

Line of Duty

Love all of those, I think my favourite is Unforgotten

Scott and Bailey is my all time favourite.
Also loved Happy Valley.

Taggart was great back in the day when Taggart was still alive.

Line of Duty first and foremost. Missing is absolutely amazing of you haven’t seen it, especially the first series.

The Shadow Line

Guess this one:

'Have you been stabbed, pet?'

(I saw someone describe this programme like this on MN once and it made me laugh)

Line of Duty
Happy Valley
Hinterland

Jonathan Creek

Hinterland, and the vastly underrated The Tunnel

My personal faves are
Foyle's War,
The Night Manager,
Giri/Haji,
Miss Marple (Joan Hickson era)
House of Cards (it's more political I suppose)
George Gently

Depends a bit on the definition.

Life on Mars? Or Heartbeat.

Cracker
Prime Suspect
Luther
Unforgotton

Inspector Morse

Vera. Also love Shetland as a big fan of Anne Cleeves (author of both the Vera and Shetland books).

Line of Duty
Unforgotten

Unforgotten (best by far).
Hidden (1 and 2 good, 3 less so).
Happy Valley.

I don't like the fast paced ones with less character and more plot like Line of Duty. I can't keep up!

Love Luther, Cracker, Happy Valley, No offence, Mc.mafia and the fall.

Foyle'sWar.
Cagney and Lacey.
Scott. And Bailey.
Morse and Endeavour

The Tunnel

Another one for cracker....
Also line of duty :)

Luther, unforgotten, early prime suspect, line of duty (except final series).
