Bucco, if you like British mysteries, you might like
New Tricks. (I have been following this thread for months and I think “New Tricks” was already mentioned, but considering this will be post #101, I thought it would be easier to just say it again instead of reading back through.)
“New Tricks” is about three retired detectives who are called back to work to help solve cold cases. The three detectives are quite a bit past retirement age. They bring a lot of experience to the cases and their methods can sometimes be a little outside the box. (I think there is an old saying about that sort of thing. . .something like, “Age and guile beat youth and inexperience any day.”)
I like the show especially because it has some great lines. The writers do a good job of blending comedy with mystery. The detectives and the woman who is their boss are fun to watch. They all play well together.
“New Tricks” had a long run on the BBC, 2003-2015, so I guess a lot of people liked it.
We watch it fairly often. Each episode is a little shy of an hour and the storylines stand alone so it is easier to watch one or two at a time and not get caught up in a binge.
