House, Elementary, Balthazar
I agree- I like programs with intelligent main characters solving a puzzle. Some of my favorites have been 'Elementary' and 'House' of course. Lots of people seem to love 'Vera' but I find I don't want to get into her head. Lately I've been watching 'Balthazar' streaming on Acorn. Brilliant and very appealing forensic examiner solves crimes, some rather lurid, for the police. It's in French with English subtitles (also fun if you know some French and want to catch up on modern slang and naughty words.
Wish there were more programs with smart characters but it takes smart writers to write them.
