The British and German shows do seem better if you like the Masterpiece Theater type of show. More character development and less sex and violence.

Binge-watched SVU during the lock-down but got weary of it. When the new season began, decided to give it another shot (the 2-hr "special" was tedious IMO) then went on to the off-shoot one. Decided it's too dark for me so won't continue. Doubt I will with the SVU too. It was better, early on---but again my personal taste.
I no longer remain faithful to the 3 networks anymore and their prime-time junk. I'm finding I like the British police shows, their dramas too PLUS old re-hashing of series from years ago that we watched in our youth. They're lighter and funnier...again my opinion.
