The Best Binge-able Mystery Series (Acorn/BritBox/Sundance/PBSPassport/Netflix)

[+ RyanDean]

Starting this thread because I'm always on the prowl for good Brit-stery series...

Some of my all time faves include Broadchurch (UK) & Hinterland (Wales) but recently found LondonKills (UK) and TheGloaming (AUS) quite diverting. Right now I'm working my way through TheGulf (NZ)...

Foyle's War, Midsommer Murders, Inspector Morse, Inspector Lewis, Endeavour, Brokenwood Mysteries, Death In Paradise, Vera, Shetland, All of the Miss Marple and Poirot series, Shakespeare and Hathaway - when you've finished with these I'll post some more.

If you want a bit of camp with your Mystery -- Agatha Raisin starring Ashley Jensen is fun

I left out 2 big ones, Line Of Duty and Unforgotten. There is a site JustWatch that lets you know where a program is streaming. I'm currently on MHz which streams European Mysteries. And now ladies and gentlemen you know what I've been doing during pandemic isolation. 🙂

My pandemic isolation took me through all 21 series of Silent Witness.
Also burned through the full runs of Line of Duty, Vera, Death in Paradise and Unforgotten.

I've come to prefer grit &/or ghosts to twee or twitchy detectives, and definitely like it when a series takes me to a part of the commonwealth I've not much thought about (ie TheGloaming being set in Tasmania)...

Have you checked out Wire In The Blood??

I haven't, though I have enjoyed Robson Green on Grantchester.
Just added it to my Acorn watchlist. Thanks!

I've enjoyed River a lot.

For those of you not afraid of subtitles, A Perfect Mother, on Netflix is an excellent mini series (4 episodes I believe). Franco German co-production, so compelling I watched it one sitting.

re subtitles:
Because I often put these shows on while I'm working, I do often avoid subtitled shows. That said,
I'm currently working through HIDDEN, which is mostly in English but has a sizable chunk of the dialogue in Welsh.

... Which I suspect is not exactly at the top of the list of languages you 'speak a little of'?

Correct! And just unfamiliar enough to my ears to grab my attention so I look up to catch the subtitles...

I liked London Spy - gay themes, with Edward Holcroft and Ben Whishaw.
