There are so many! Vera is a good series, you can find most of it on Prime if you have that. I don't think it's on Netflix. The Morse series is good. Broadchurch, Keeping Faith, Happy Valley, Shetland, Hinterland.

I can't say off the top of my head which series is on which channel but the ones I use are Prime, Netflix, Acorn and Britbox. I'd say most are basic good old reliable detective stories, no big surprises but just fun to watch and follow the characters. A couple like Broadchurch and Happy Valley are very good re the acting and stories are a little deeper. One I want to start is Maigret starring Rowan Atkinson who is most known as Mr Bean, a totally wacky character. I saw one episode of this on local pbs awhile back and it's weird to see him as such a serious person. On Britbox.

I subscribed to Britbox via Prime and it has tons of that kind of series and it's like $5/month, so I feel it's worth the money. I watch next to nothing on US tv, so it's my main source of things to watch. Acorn is about the same. I think both can be subscribed to without Prime as well, I know my Acorn sub is not via Prime.

I can go look up some more shows if you want, just let me know.
