Series Like The Mentalist or Monk?
 

Those are two of our favorite series of all time. Good, thoughtful, plots in each episode. Ongoing plots related to main characters. Never too violent or nasty. Regular really good touches of humor...even an underlying humorous edge at all times.

We would love to find something similar, ideally with a few seasons already in the can so we can watch it for a while. But we'd consider a new series also.

Your input is appreciated as usual. :)

Do you have prime video?

If so several good detective series to be enjoyed

I liked both of those series. I've got Hulu, so I'm not sure of availability elsewhere. Here's a couple I'd suggest:

Lethal Weapon - G-rated, police drama/comedy. Highly recommended. More "action" than your noted shows, but it's a great show.

Black Sails - R-rated. I like pirates - grrrrrrrrr. Good show but a fair amount of sex and gory violence.

I enjoyed The Good Cop with Josh Groban and Tony Danza in father-and-son lead roles.

Red Rock (Irish cop drama).

Somehow the first season of Black Sails is available on Prime Video. How many seasons are there?

Yes I do have Prime video. What specific series are you referring to? :)

Black Sails

Jack Ryan is a very good series on Amazon.

Black Sails had 4 seasons. I looked and it's not on Hulu any longer, but is on Starz at a price.

Jack Ryan is excellent also Bosch is superb, coming back for one more season

Just one? You said “several”. :)

I think what Stu was saying was that he saw one season of Black Sails on prime.
There are 4 seasons in the series, all very good. Apparently prime is just showing one right now.

See my post where I recommended Jack Ryan and Bosch.

We are now watching Victoria (about the 19th century queen) and plan to start the Shield when we finish Victoria

I believe Republic of Doyle and New Tricks might fit the bill.

Some others that I recommend are Unforgotten, Endeavour, The Americans, The Night Manager and Bosch. Not so much humor though.

Blacklist is one of our favorites, stars Megan Boone from right here in The Villages! Yes she is one of "The Family".
Longmire is another favorite, and of course everyone loves Kevin Costner in Yellowstone.
