British mystery recs on Britbox/acorn?

[XanaDUer2]

Acorn? Seen all Midsommers, Agatha Raisin, Dalgleish, poirot, Marple. Watching Ruth Rendell mysteries now with Geo. Baker. Above Suspicion with Kelly Reilly was good. Seen all Morse eps

Didn't like Broken wood, sadly

Any gems on these channels I'm missing?

[50 Shades Of Blue]

1. Death In Paradise is one I really like.

Murder mystery series set on a Caribbean island.

[XanaDUer2]

2. Ty!

[OnDoutside]

18. I'd second that...we've been watching it since the start.

It doesn't take itself too seriously, nice generally light.

Actually there's also an offshoot series starting too with one of the previous Detective Inspectors, Kris Marshall.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

24. I only started watching late last year. Just started S9. I was really excited to learn

about the offshoot!

[Aristus]

39. Sara Martins is one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen in my life.

I was crushed when she left the series.

[cbabe]

3. Lists are fun:

Vera
No Offense
London Kills
Line of Duty

I also liked above suspicion and didn’t care for brokenwood.

[XanaDUer2]

4. I loved Vera!

The lead is brilliant.

I love Brit Mys.

[tikka]

5. definitely No Offense

[Scrivener7]

8. Me too! Very underrated, I thought.

[Scrivener7]

10. I thought Line of Duty was amazing. Liked all the others in your list too.

[XanaDUer2]

15. Good to know!

[JohnSJ]

6. McDonald & Dodds, and, Silent Witness, both BritBox. Both stand on their own without long

drawn out episodes per case, though Silent Witness has two episodes per case.

Father Brown is also one you may want to explore, and as others have mentioned Vera

[XanaDUer2]

7. I'll check out Fr Brown

They're sweet mysteries.

[OnDoutside]

21. I'll also second Fr Brown !

9. Have some fun with Murdoch Mysteries

This (long) series is a hoot. Set in early 20th century Toronto
the series is a great deal of fun .

Murdoch is continually inventing tools for his police team to utilize; these tools vaguely resemble items we depend on today.

The storyline often includes portrayals of well known historical figures, such as Einstein, Conan Doyle, HG Wells, Alexander Graham Bell, Tesla, and Theodore Roosevelt.

It is lots of fun to watch

Sorry you did not enjoy Brokenwood! We really enjoyed it.

Others we liked : Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, Mystery Road, Queens of Mystery, Miss Fisher's Modern Murder Mysteries, Pie in the SKy, Harry Wild, Mr & Mrs Murder, Crownies and its spinoff Janet King

[XanaDUer2]

11. Ty!

Maybe I'll give brokenwood another chance. I thought Endeavour was on one of the channels-its a prequel to Morse- but now I can't find it.

I keeping waiting for new eps of Midsommer Murders

[SleeplessinSoCal]

27. We finished up season 15 last week.

24 episodes! And most of them excellent. There seems to be a very creative writing crew.

[hlthe2b]

12. Maybe less mystery than crime drama-- with great acting in a beautiful setting: Shetland s 1-6

on Britbox.

[XanaDUer2]

14. Ty!

I'm open to anything crime related. One good thing: after reading them all, and seeing then, I keep forgetting who the killer is on Marple and poirot

[Scrivener7]

13. On Britbox, I thought Bancroft was pretty good. She's a surprising character.

Shetland is good - same author as created Vera. And that same author again did The Long Call, though I haven't seen that yet.

Scott and Bailey is from a few years ago, but if you haven't seen it, it's terrific.

Also from a while back but great is Waking the Dead.

[XanaDUer2]

16. Thanks!

My brains are a little scrambled, and I have a bit of a hard time navigating the Britbox interface. If I have actual titles, it's probably easier

[Scrivener7]

17. One more! I really liked Jonathan Creek. They're pretty corny, but a lot of fun.

They're whodunits but you also have to figure out "howdunit." And some of the solutions are very clever.

[Kaleva]

19. W/o closed captioning, all Brit shows are a mystery.

[XanaDUer2]

20. We always have CC on nt

[csziggy]

22. I watched a lot of British mysteries before we went to the UK in 2019

As a result, I had little trouble understanding most of the locals, even Scottish and Orkney. My husband, on the other hand, had a lot of trouble - but he didn't watch as many Brit mysteries as I had.

The people I had the worst problem understanding turned out to mostly be non-UK residents working in the country - for instance, the Spanish man who waited on us at one restaurant. I'd heard a lot of Hispanic accents growing up in Florida, but Hispanic with a British accent on top is a strange mix!

[Kaleva]

23. It's interesting how English can be so varied with the accents and slang

[area51]

25. Two I can think of off the top of my head

are the Australian Doctor Blake Mysteries (set in the '50s), and Brit New Tricks

[XanaDUer2]

26. Ty!

[MadScot]

28. River

A detective with mental problems who solves his partner's murder with the help of his hallucinations. Very quirky, not everybody's cup of tea, but brilliantly portrayed by Stellan Skarsgard (sp?). Only six episode's but I dearly wish they'd made more.

[XanaDUer2]

29. I'll look for it, thanks

[question everything]

30. The Coroner. I don't know if on Britbox or Acorn. It is on PBS locally

[XanaDUer2]

31. Just discovered Insp. Linley Mysteries on Britbox nt

[GentryDixon]

32. Anything with Nicola Walker.

She is my favorite actress. Talent beyond belief.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicola_Walker

[XanaDUer2]

34. Thank you!

I find the interface challenging

[GentryDixon]

35. I'm rewatching "Touching Evil" on Freevee.

I just finished "The Split" on Hulu last week. She was so beloved as Ruth in " Spooks" , they brought her back after killing her off. 💕

[XanaDUer2]

36. I may watch Luther next nt

[avebury]

37. Some recommendations

Death In Paradise

[XanaDUer2]

38. Ty! Just discovered Insp. Lynley

[Bluebelle76]

40. Shakespeare and Hathaway

Not the Bard. Light-hearted, modern times, set in Stratford-on-Avon.

[XanaDUer2]

41. Ty! McDonald and Dodds looks interesting nt

[PasadenaTrudy]

42. The Bay n/t
