Foyle’s War
Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix
Broadchurch


Just to name a few
We watched a few British shows including Broadchurch season one, the first season of Poldark, The Crown and Peaky Blinders. I read the novel The Magpie Murders and was thinking of watching the series. Michael Connelly is one of my favorite authors, but the series is not as good as it strays too far from the source material by expanding the importance of the minor characters. My brother-in-law also recommended Vera, so I may give that a shot.
