We just watched Criminal Record. It was eight episodes which gave it a lot time to be very very suspenseful.

MissBattleaxe · 25/02/2024 01:57

Scott and Bailey on Britbox.

HirplesWithHaggis · 25/02/2024 02:26

We've been watching Trial and Retribution on ITVx (I think!), older but very engrossing. Though I'm slightly discombobulated by the changes in the main male character.

CarolinaInTheMorning · 25/02/2024 02:38

Shetland
Annika
Dalgleish

PivotPivotmakingmargaritas · 25/02/2024 02:58

Line of Duty
Shetland
Vera
Beyond Paradise ( not as dark, quite quirky)

XelaM · 25/02/2024 03:29

The Victim - one if the best short crime series I've ever seen.

Five - the best Harlan Coben short series.

Custardcreamsandbourbons · 25/02/2024 09:18

Thanks some great ideas loved unforgotten broad church and LOD was thinking kin and criminal record started Annika and Shetland and didn’t get gripped need to try again !

Love/Hate on ITVX? Irish rather than British.

MaudGone · 25/02/2024 10:17

First series of Love/Hate is a bit wobbly, but it improves a lot after that.

Also 'Blue Lights' on the BBC.

Friendofdennis · 25/02/2024 10:30

Wallander with Kenneth Branagh

cheapskatemum · 25/02/2024 17:10

Grantchester. I've only watched the ones with James Norton in. Can highly recommend.

Kaftanesque · 25/02/2024 17:28

Giri /Haji was brilliant we thought,
And just rewatching Spooks from the beginning

Custardcreamsandbourbons · 25/02/2024 17:32

Loved blue lights - anything similar

The Fall?

Riverlee · 25/02/2024 18:31

Older series but good
New Tricks
Law and Order Uk

Shakespeare and Hathaway - cozy murder series,

ohskedaddle · 25/02/2024 18:33

The Bay
Woman in the wall
The boat story
Truelove

BOOTS52PollyPrissyPants · 25/02/2024 19:35

It's a good few years since watched it but Whitechapel was really good.

LettersOfTheAlphabet · 25/02/2024 19:36

No Offence
Better

AllLopsided · 25/02/2024 22:59

The Tower
The Couple Next Door (not quite crime but psychological 'what's going on' kind of drama)

(both ITV I think).

We also watched Love and Death after it was recommended on here - another psychological thriller type thing, also good.

AllLopsided · 25/02/2024 23:01

Oh sorry - Love and Death wasn't British.

Van der Valk is good too - British actors but set in Amsterdam.
