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. :)
Detective show.."Elementary
Fun...Ally McBeal

Heartland on Netflix. 11 seasons, 18 episodes per season will keep you going for quite a while. Outlander- seasons 1-3 on Amazon video, season 4 on Netflix 5 on Starz 6 being released sometime this year. Weeds and The Ranch on Netflix are also good.

Leverage is a fun series, think it would fit the bill. It’s on Netflix but you can find it on regular tv too.

Murdoch Mysteries and Death in Paradise on Hulu. Each have 10 seasons!

Try “The Blacklist.” James Spader is always riveting in the series. I love his voice and wry expressions. Megan Boone is not, but her grandfather is Gary Morse, and she grew up partly in The Villages.

Leverage was an outstanding show/ went thru it twice a few years ago.

The best crime shows by far are NOT made in the U.S. (just my opinion). Britbox & Acorn streaming services offer the best in British programming. If you don't mind subtitles Prime has the most foreign language detective shows ever! You would especially enjoy Professor T., a Belgian TV drama series set in Antwerp about an eccentric professor at Antwerp University, Jasper Teerlinck, who is an advisor to the police. The Scandinavian countries make excellent detective shows. You quickly adapt to reading subtitles.

Psych and Hamish Macbeth both on Amazon Prime

I would give another vote for Longmire on Netflix (6 Seasons) very addictive.

McLeod's Daughters is great!
 
We just finished MONK, and totally loved it too. There is an Australian show called "McLeod's Daughters" that is a terrific, addictive epic. It was the number one show in Australia for years, and I have no idea why it took so long for us to find it. It is on Amazon Prime.:boom:

Netflix: Manhunt-the Unabomber; Manhunt-Deadly Games (about The Olympic Games and Richard Jewell); Hillbilly Elegy; The Crown

I agree, McCloud's Daughters is a very good Australian TV program. Also from Australia is "Packed to the Rafters". A good family program. (All 6 seasons Available on Hulu). From New Zealand is "800 Words". Another good family program. (All 3 seasons available on Hoopla which is a free streaming service from the Sumter County Library system; and may still be available on a channel on DirecTV)
