I can't find my old thread with all the recommendation. What can I watch if I like:

Blue Murder
Scott and Bailey
Inspector Morse
Lewis
Endeavour
Broadchurch
The Bay
Grantchester
Father Brown
Unforgotten
The Loch
The Tower
Jonathan Creek
McDonald and Dodds
Shetland
Vera

There's probably more I've watched. Needs to be on Netflix or iPlayer or ITV hub or BritBox.

Have you watched Manhunt with Martin Clunes playing Detective Inspector Colin Sutton? That was very good.

I have also enjoyed these on Netflix:
Sinner
Baptiste
The Bletchley Circle San Fransico

A Touch of Frost and Cracker on ITV player are old favourites of mine. I heard good things about Grace too.

Wheelyweddingwipedout · 20/07/2022 21:05

seconding cracker and touch of frost.

Miss Marple (with Miss Marple played by the magnificent Joan Hickson)

TwoMonthsOff · 20/07/2022 21:07

Wholeheartedly second Unforgotten
It is brilliant, well written, well acted and well cast, pretty perfect in every way I loved all the stores and Cassie and Sunis warm relationship. And it made me cry at the end

TwoMonthsOff · 20/07/2022 21:08

Sorry see you already watched Unforgotten

AlternativelyWired · 20/07/2022 21:09

I've watched Strike too. Totally in love with Cormoran Strike.

I second Manhunt, Happy Valley and Grace.

I really enjoyed Hinterland.

Waking the Dead and Silent Witness - I love forensic crime dramas.

Currently watching London kills, quite enjoying it

MissConductUS · 22/07/2022 18:30

For the US, Criminal Minds is excellent. I also adored Bosch.

mum2jakie · 23/07/2022 10:46

Watch Magpie Murders on Britbox.

AlternativelyWired · 23/07/2022 11:21

I've been watching Vincent on BritBox and it's good. Not amazing but still enjoyable. It's weird when they locate shows in Manchester and loads of characters have southern accents.

I watched The Secret yesterday/today on the basis of this thread and it's great. Astonishing story - I don't remember it in the news but was quite busy with babies at that point.

Genevieve O'Reilly is a fantastic actress.

bornonvalentines · 24/07/2022 10:49

Am about to have 3 weeks off work convalescing so many thanks for this thread!

Hoolahulahoop · 24/07/2022 10:55

I watched You don't know Me last night. (It's four episodes I got through two)

Absolutely recommend. Previously enjoyed Unforgotten (as mentioned)

Have you watched The Fall ? It's brilliant

longtompot · 24/07/2022 11:39

The Bridge, the Danish one. Absolutely superb series and I was sad when I finished it
