I've started rewatching Murder She Wrote. The opening credits show Jessica out for a run, also on her bicycle. I looked it up, and Angela Lansbury was 59 when that show started! And I always thought she was so old!

Yeah... Cabot Cove, Maine was the most dangerous small town in America, murder-wise.

Nearly as bad as the English village of Midsomer for population depletion!

Cracker is a great UK detective series.
Subtitles or Scottish language understanding needed.
Midsomer Murders is a very watchable series as well.

I binged watched all the reruns of Miami Vice when I moved down here last year. That was a great show!
I lived in South Florida.
They had to use payphones and the gangsters would be walking down the street with the big boomboxes on their shoulder. Lots of big name special guests on the show. I want show Phil Collins play a game show host.

We spent the past year binging on Midsommer Murders, Inspector Morse, Inspector Lewis and Endeavour. All British Crime series and for the most part very interesting. The perpetrator is often a surprise. Although we speak the same language there are a lot of British colloquial expressions and the accents are very thick at times, so we often watch with closed caption on. We keep a cell phone handy to help understand some of the British slang. I find myself using the expressions "right" and "rubbish" now and then.

Yes, I kept telling my British ex, you guys can speak English (most of the time). I like the BBC version though, very much.

Another one I enjoy is Death in Paradise, set on a fictional island in the Caribbean but shot on Guadalupe also on PBS.
