I've also seen the Lewis series but haven't been able to get into the original Inspector Morse show. It's sort of dated now, but since I started with Endeavour I just kind of resist John Thaw in the role.
Another favorite for repeat viewing is Foyle's War, set during WWII and its aftermath.
Bosch on Amazon Prime is a tightly plotted L.A. noir, if darker fare is your thing.
Edit: Endeavour is a British show that airs here on PBS under their Masterpiece Mystery banner.

I’ve very much enjoyed the many seasons of Mystery! On PBS that featured the Lord Peter Wimsey series by the great Dorothy Sayers, especially the three starring Edward Petherbridge (Strong Poison, Have His Carcase, and Gaudy Night). Also, the series of Miss Marple starring Joan Hickson. I like that more than Poirot.
While I love the Brother Cadfael mysteries by my late friend Ellis Peters, the television versions are sort of disappointing. The books are much better. I love Inspector Morse, but partly because I studied at Oxford and love seeing my old haunts. I also enjoyed “Campion.” Also, the large and great series of “Sherlock Holmes” starring Jeremy Brett.
Also, go to Netflix and watch the great Finnish series “Borderliner.” The Norwegian series “Bordertown” is also very good, and also, the Norwegian “Occupied” is excellent.
