Should see new season of Bosch fairly soon

I lover Endeavour, but for me Poirot is the best, great scenery, good manners , grand homes and hotels and love watching the mostly rich killing other rich people

Thanks for recommendation. Watched our first Endeavour this evening and will continue with series.

The original Hawaii Five-O

The True Detective series on HBO was great, the first season was outstanding. The Fall was very good and The Night Manager ( more undercover MI-5 agent) I though was excellent.

I've also seen the Lewis series but haven't been able to get into the original Inspector Morse show. It's sort of dated now, but since I started with Endeavour I just kind of resist John Thaw in the role.

Another favorite for repeat viewing is Foyle's War, set during WWII and its aftermath.

Bosch on Amazon Prime is a tightly plotted L.A. noir, if darker fare is your thing.

Edit: Endeavour is a British show that airs here on PBS under their Masterpiece Mystery banner.

Love Foyle's War. Bought the whole series. Many other excellent Acorn series such as Above Suspicion, Blue Murder, Trial and Retribution ...

The Bosch series is very well done as well, particularly if you are a fan of the Michael Connelly books.

Agree with the Bosch series. Also ION TV has many British and Australian mysteries. Amazon Goliath is also excellent .

What a shame they had so much material from the books.

Amazon Prime Spiral, Unforgotten and Silent Witness.

I like Ripper Street. London's Whitechapel in the late 1800s after Jack the Ripper. If you like a comedy mystery, try Acorn's Agatha Raisin. Death in Paradise is also pretty good. All English by the way.

So many good shows from the U.K. My primary TV these days is switching between Acorn and Britbox subscriptions. I'm even getting better at understanding the slang/accents!

Boston Legal.

Murdoch Mysteries. This is a Canadian series that takes place at the turn of the century. Very entertaining and they include historical figures in some of the episodes.

I am watching Murdoch mysteries as well on Hulu. It’s a great series and it has eight seasons.

Silent Witness, A touch of Frost, Vera, Brokenwood, Miss Fisher, Dr. Blake are all great. New Tricks is a fun one to watch as well

Breaking Bad. 5 seasons 62 episodes. Ranked #1 quite often.
