Any detective programmes suitable for an 11yo?

[alphabetspagetti]

DD loves a good murder mystery and I thought she might enjoy some programmes. I'm sure I was watching Morse at a similar age.
I rarely watch TV so don't know if there is anything current/more recent that she might enjoy. Nothing too gory or involving sexual assault or similar. I'm thinking along the lines of finding a dead body in an awkward position with a pool of blood next to it. On the other hand, I think things like Murder She Wrote would
be too old fashioned.
We have Netflix & Amazon Prime as well as the usual channels.
Thanks!

Death in Paradise is good for that age.

I was about to say that! There's an ITV one called Shakespeare and something that's not gory

Definitely death in paradise

Father brown mystery’s day time TV murdered very nicely! Death in paradise of course, Miss marples Poirot.

Father brown and Death in paradise

Yeah, Death in Paradise is the obvious choice!

Shakespeare and Hathaway

Would Broadchurch be horribly inappropriate?

shakespeare and hathaway

Sorry, just read the OP properly - it probably would be.

Broadchurch was really horrifying

Endeavour is on right now! My 11 year old is watching it with me.

I'm really bad at judging what is age appropriate, TBF DH has to approve my family viewing choices.

Home Before Dark would be great for that age - it’s on Apple TV though. But it’s about a young girl around your DDs age who is a budding journalist and ends up helping to investigate a cold case in a small town.

I'd recommend Father Brown too.

Vera is never too gruesome or sexual, same for Frost (possibly a bit old-fashioned) would he like Jonathan Creek?

Johnathan creek might be a bit scary?
I am a wuss though.
Death in paradise
Miss marple and poirot although they are killed in quite gruesome ways sometimes.

I was watching The Sweeney at a little older than that and have survived to tell the tale, but i wouldn't feel able to recommend that!

Poirot and Miss Marple? Particularly the latter.

All on bbc iplayer at the moment

Death in paradise
Mallorca files
The coroner
Shakespeare and hathaway

Good daytime/detective crime series.

I would also try midsomer murders. The deaths are gruesome but mostly inferred.

Then move onto morse etc.

I think it is wise you have delegated

I think Jonathan Creek is a 12, some of those are very non-gory. The one with the gorilla for example.

We'll, a bit gory - but not lots of violence.

I agree father brown is quite a good one as although murders it is quite a gentle program
Also think poirot and miss marple (the older ones like David sachet and hickson not the modern ones which were a lot more graphic) I was watching them when young and reading the books at 13
Also columbo!
Midsummer murders yes but I would be careful on the epidsode maybe
I hope your dd enjoys some of them 🙂

My DD10 loves Shakespeare and Hathaway, The coroner, death in paradise and Diagnosis murder.

Definitely Jonathan Creek or some of the older ones like columbo, diagnosis murder and murder she wrote.
