I would like to recommend a British mystery series, C. B. Strike
These shows are based on the Cormoran Strike mystery series by Robert Galbraith, (aka J.K. Rowling). My wife and I are both big fans of Galbraith's novels and we found this series on DVD at our library. I just looked up where to watch these on line and saw that they are on Amazon Prime.

(2,231 posts)I read that the 4th book has been produced, so hopefully it will be available here before long. I've been reading the fifth book - Troubled Blood for over a week now, (it's over 900 pages). My wife keeps bugging me, "Hurry up!"

(34,136 posts)Right now I don't want to pay for another channel so I am unwilling to add HBO to my line-up. It can be frustrating!

(34,136 posts)Through Amazon Prime I have been offered shows on Acorn TV, BritBox, HBO, and several other channels. This irritates me since I prefer to subscribe directly and to only be offered what is actually on the channel I am searching.
