Shows as good as Shetland

[SistemaAddict]

I've just finished series 5 and feel bereft. I have a crush on Jimmy Perez and will miss the scenery and characters. Tosh was great I thought. I've watched all of Vera, The Loch, Broadchurch, Endeavour, Morse, Lewis.

Bletchley Circle is on my list but what else?

Unforgotten
Cardinal
DCI Banks
Hidden

Hinterland. I watched all 3 series in a week. Loved it. It's on Netflix.
I've only seen first series of Shetland and loved that. What Did you watch it on? Not seen it on Netflix.

Another drama that was good was Hidden. I think its was BBC originally but not sure where it's available now.

Second Cardinal.

Cardinal is brilliant. I love Unforgotten.

Oh yes, Unforgotten is superb.

Wallander – the Swedish original not the remake.

Unforgotten
Line of Duty
The Fall
Scott and Bailey
Vera

David Tennant has done several rather good single-series murder mysteries: Deadwater Fell and The Escape Artist.

OMG, The Fall.

Yes. That.

Oh yes! How could I forget the Fall? Brilliant!

Yes Hidden is on BBC iPlayer.

YY to Hinterland and Hidden.

Cardinal, definitely! Beautiful, bleak Canadian landscapes and brutal murders. Though I struggled with the torture in series 2.

Actor who plays Jimmy Perez is brilliant. Check out The Silence if you can find it. A BBC drama from around 2010 ish. He plays a detective. EXCELLENT SERIES./

Oh, and he is also in Collision..which is also a good series.

Not that I am obsessed or anything...he just picks good dramas.

Lawless Heart is an excellent film he is in too.

He is one of those actors that seems to choose his parts carefully.

Yes, Douglas Henshall. Definitely someone I turn on the telly for.

Dublin Murders.

Weird, but had a Shetland vibe. Murder mystery.

For a more urban vibe

Prime Suspect 1973 aka Prime Suspect: Tennyson, a prequel to Prime Suspect
London Kills

Got a feeling they are doing new series of both unforgotten and shetland. Not sure when scheduled for though !

This is us

@OhioOhioOhio I started This is Us last night and I watched 5 episodes sobbing!

Some of these (Cardinal, Hidden) are less 'cosy', for want of a better word, than Shetland. Not a criticism (I love them) but just a heads-up.

Wisting (Norwegian, I think; on BBC recently) is good, and probably a bit closer to Shetland in feel than the really nasty ones.

Shanghaisue, they were due to start filming new Shetland this March (I follwo Douglas H on Twitter) but obviously had to postpone.

Hidden
Line of duty
Unforgotten
Life on Mars
