I love a slightly kitch, well-made, murder series

[Viot]

Love Midsommer. Watched them all.
Loved Sherlock.
Loved Why Didn't They Ask Evans.
Loved Bookish.
Loved Knives Out and the other one.
Love anything Agatha Christie.

What might I not have seen? Series or film.

Oh I agree. This is absolutely wonderful.

Professor T was great!

The Chelsea Detective might suit you

Beyond Paradise
McDonald and Dodds
Brokenwood Mysteries
Shakespeare and Hathaway
Jonathan Creek
Pie in the Sky
Queens of Mystery
Whitstable Pearl
Mrs Sidhu Investigates
Ludwig

Murdoch Mysteries (same team as Frankie Drake)
Miss Fisher Murder Mysteries
Chelsea Detective
Sister Boniface (Father brown spin off)
Whitstable Pearl

I'd forgotten Pie in the Sky. It's lovely.

Is that the one with Daisy Haggard?

Yes!
And The Scapegoat, Ordeal by Innocence, Witness for the Prosecution.
Also, slightly less murder mystery, but the remake of Rebecca with Lily James and Kristen Scott-Thomas.

I was going to say this also. I really enjoyed it. Also developed a bit of a crush on Caron. Thought the characters of Jeremy and Judith were marvellous.

Sally Lindsay's Madame Blanc is cosy crime. And her stand-alone series Love Rat was fun in a very kitsch way too.

There's also Shakespeare and Hathaway, Beyond Paradise, the Cormoran Strike series and if you don't mind something being a bit old-fashioned, about 8 series of Monk, the OCD detective. Some of the stories are very Luther-like puzzling mysteries and the lead actor is genius.

Crossed with you!

This OP. You will love this

Australian!!!!????? It's an NZ show.

Poker Face is good.
Agatha Raisin
A good girls guide to murder

Shetland is good too. Love the secondary characters - Mark Bonnar as the dodgy brother and Steven Robertson as Sandy the very serious over-enthusiastic copper.

I suppose you could count Wednesday as a murder series. We started watching series 2 yesterday, and the first episode was just as good as series 1 so high hopes again! It’s def kitsch in its own way 😂

Signora Volpe on Acorn TV is fantastic. It stars Amelia Fox as a retired MI6 spy living in Italy.

Not crime, but definitely cosy - Under the Vines.

Magpie murders

Came on to recommend the previous 3 mentioned! Death valley is so kitsch but Timothy Spall is fantastic.
We loved Only Murders in the Building and Ludwig.
We loved the first 2 series of McDonald and Dodds but the last one was just silly.

Yes….hope you enjoyed it too!

Love it but had forgotten about it - might need a rewatch 😊

I loved Ludwig on BBC iPlayer literally can't wait for series two

On NF, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. Just genius.

In the it’s so bad it’s good category the Aurora Teagarden mysteries. I get sucked in every time. I love OMITB! New series soon.
