I love a good crime drama / police procedural / whodunnit, especially UK-based. I particularly like dramas based on true events or cases, although fictional is okay too. I have Netflix, Prime and Britbox

Things I have watched and enjoyed to a greater or lesser extent (there’s probably more, these are the things that spring to mind) so anything more in this vein is what I’m looking for:

Manhunt - both series
See No Evil
Little Boy Blue
Unforgotten
Three Girls
The Fall
Line of Duty
White House Farm
Rillington Place
Harlan Coben’s Safe and Stay Close
Happy Valley
River
Luther
Whitechapel
Appropriate Adult

@ShadowGirls

My manager told me it's not normal to have a fascination with crime and that it gives you a warped sense of reality when I recently told him I'd watched one of the listed programs (he asked what I'd done the previous evening)

Glad I'm not the only one who enjoys these types of programs

He's talking nonsense, lol! Liking crime dramas is not a sign of criminal tendencies nor personality disorder as far as I'm aware and I was a psychiatric nurse for 12 years. Don't some people just love to talk bollix, lol?

Hinterland.
Shetland

Another vote for Hinterland, very atmospheric, then Hidden partly in Welsh. Not quite as good, but still well worth a watch particularly series 2.

Shetland very good, but did not enjoy the last one sadly. All botox free viewing!

Criminal is brilliant

theres Criminal UK, then various dubbed European versions

Its the Line of Duty interview room on steroids. Loved it.

Keeping Faith (Welsh) - really enjoyed it and has great characters

I am currently binge-watching 'New Tricks' on BBC I Player. I had never seen it before and it is really well written and underplays the violence which makes a change. It also is quite humorous and you get to know and love the characters' quirks.
