There are also some Really really good Lighter side Crime/Detective/mysteries that are very enjoyable to watch if One wants a break from Violent type programs:

Midsomer Murders now on Series or Season 22
Father Brown waiting for Season 9
Death in Paradise waiting for Season 11
Grantchester waiting for Season 6 (loved the reference to Elvis Presly, this series start in the 1950s and up)

Another one a bit more serious: Harrow 3 seasons so far
Another one, very very serious: Silent Witness, waiting for Season 24

Thanks Starcom: my wife Linda is very keen on Midsomer Murders, and I like the way it is now almost a spoof of itself, as well as attracting some well-known actors to participate.

I will have to try Harrow and perhaps Father Brown, not being familiar with either (although I read and enjoyed most or all of the Father Brown books many years ago).

I agree hagatha but it needed a way better ending (see Braeking Bad for the right one!)
Cardinal was good Lex, and if you like those scandi noir, maybe check out Trapped or Bordertown, neither quite as full on as Those Who Kill.
Hidden from BBC Wales is closer to the last, and I also liked hearing the language.
Starcom, I was shocked by the end of the last Silent Witness. I am suprised it still manages to surprise all these seasons later.

There is a Dexter sequel coming out -- a miniseries, I think. Michael C. Hall will be reprising the role.

The ending to Breaking Bad was perfect.

To digress slightly, I have often wondered whether TV creators have a beginning and an end from the start, and they pad out the middle depending on whether it is 1 or 5 seasons, or soemthing esle?
In other words, did Vince GIlligan know from day 1 that it would end that way? No doubt things along the way make a difference (the Jessie arc for instance) but was that how he imagined it ending? Or did he have an idea about a meth cooking science teacher with cancer and was as interested in me to see where that might go?

As audiences know, bad things can happens when the story's overall arc isn't plotted out beforehand (ahem....Lost....). My guess is that the ending to Breaking Bad was plotted out long before the last season started. The writing is so solid and assured, all the way through.

We started watching Mare. The first episode almost lost us, it was so slow. It's picked up a bit in the second and third episodes. There's a little too much melodrama, but we'll keep watching.

On flotsam's suggestion I am going to try the Welsh noir: no doubt made at least partly as a result of pressure (and therefore more readily available budget) to produce dramas in the native language although now available in English.

Found Hinterland on Netflix and enjoyed the first episode, with Hidden geared up to follow on Sky, and after that his scandi suggestions Trapped on Amazon and Bordertown on Netflix...

Hinterland is really good. I had hoped there would be more, but it looks like it's finished for good.

We ultimately enjoyed Mare, and Kate Winslet's performance is wonderful.

For those of you who haven't seen the Narcos series (there are two of them) on Netflix, they really are superb productions.

Is there an echo here?

Will have a look at Narcos

Hope you enjoy them!

Discovered we had already seen (and enjoyed) Collateral and Hidden some years ago but not remembered the titles, and have been working our way through The Commander (including Hugh Bonneville getting his kit off with Amanda Burton...!) which we had missed when it came out and is possibly more suited to a modern audience

I like to watch TV series cause I'm curious as to how they will end it. Didn't care for how they ended Good Wife but it made sense. Liked how they ended Six Feet Under and Desperate Housewives.

The Good Wife was excellent for the first few series but then lost its way a bit for us.

We have recently been watching an excellent true crime series The Real ManHunter featuring a retired high ranking UK police officer Colin Sutton taking us through some of his more extreme cases: he comes across really well and the detective work is fascinating: one of his biggest cases featured a monstrous psychopath named Levi Bellfield and is to form the subject of a TV drama later this year featuring Martin Clunes as the detective.

butterflybabe, I also thought Six Feet Under had a wonderful ending. Just perfection.

Some other shows that had finales that nailed it for me were Justified, Sons of Anarchy, The Shield, Supernatural, Buffy (I know, I know, but I'm a huge Buffy fan, nerdishly so), Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and the Sopranos.

Shows that lost it -- looking at you, in fact, Lost, the X-Files, and much as I hate to say it, GOT.

There is a Netflix series called Imposters that I really enjoyed too. It is well acted and has plenty of plot twists.

Have been able to watch TIme down here in the last few weeks. Very excellent indeed!

SQF, looks like in UK you can currently only purchase Imposters on Amazon Prime - so it must be good!

I really liked Virgin River on Netflix too. Hopefully a new season of Ozark is coming soon.

Ditto on Ozark SQF!

If you haven't seen The Fall, it is definitely worth a look and I see that it is now available on Netflix.

The Fall is wonderful! We watched it when it first came out. Fantastic performance by Gillian Anderson.

Lex I just wanted to give your The Fall suggestion a

Have to agree about The Fall.
Just watched an Icelandic series on Netfix called Katla. Reminiscent of things like Glitch or The Revenants and rather good. Plus I never get tired of seeing Iceland,

We just started Raised With Wolves on HBOMax per the recommendation of both our sons. Sadly, there are no actual wolves. But if you like SciFi, you might like this one.

I am also watching The Chair on Netflix at lunch. Really good show.

I did like Raised By Wolves L4L. Have never heard of The Chair so will check out whether its available down here.
