OP,
From what you said about your favorites, I think you might like the BBC’s New Tricks. Three retired detectives come out of retirement to solve cold cases. These “old” guys can be a bit set in their ways — which are not always according to accepted procedures — but they get the job done.
The series ran from 2003 to 2015. (We are not through all those seasons yet.) I like the series because you get a murder mystery without the gore and some witty dialogue and interesting glimpses into the detectives’ backstories.
Amanda Redman is their boss. She keeps them in line — sort of — well — not really — because they pretty much do whatever they need to do.

I recently found another British series starring Amanda Redman, The Good Karma Hospital. It’s not a mystery series though. It started in 2017. I am watching it currently and really like it. Wonderful scenery and cultural insights, too.

One of the funniest ones we have watched lately is Ted Lasso. I had put off watching it — although people kept telling me I had to. But I did not know anything about soccer so I thought I would not like it. Anyway — loved it — and added more British slang to my vocabulary.

Someone has mentioned The Kominsky Method. Michael Douglas stars in it and Kathleen Turner is in the last season as his ex-wife. It’s about aging with snappy dialogue. Liked it a lot.
