Line Of Duty is as close as you'll get to a British 24, gets a bit silly sometimes but a lot of fun.

First series of Broadchurch was solid.

More of a drama/mystery but there's a 4 ep mini series called The Virtues which is probably the best British TV I've seen in the last decade. Brutal tho.


80s/90s detective series if you can cope with the dustiness and are able to yohoho some of these:

-Jeremy Brett era Sherlock Holmes, excellent period renditions with the GOAT Sherlock and Watsons.

-Cracker, probably the best British detective series of all time Robbie Coltrane playing an alcoholic gambling addict criminal psychologist well before anti hero prestige drama properly caught fire. Way ahead of it's time.

-Cadfael, 12th century monk solving crimes, bit theatre in the park sometimes but good acting and plotting.

-Since you mentioned Endeavour, that series is a prequel to Inspector Morse so you might like the OG. Mum used to watch it religiously.

Probably the dopest one you'll ever watch and very relevant as well.

100.

Don't read any reviews or anything else. Just watch it and let it unfold because its a great tale told well.

came in here to mention this. Honestly when I first heard the premise for Luther, I wondered if it was a Cracker remake.

That may seem like a bad joke to some folks, but

Try to go in blind. One of the coolest shows I have seen. Every villain gets worse.

Solid recommendations thanks!

Netflix and Amazon picked up on my interests and the algorithms started feeding me

Now I’m hooked and can’t stop
Nordic ones also go hard but they go dark real quick!

Looks good, reminds me of the BBC series Spooks/MI-5

 

[Joe Sixpack]

Luther is fire but I need Close Caption to understand the dialogue with those thick ass accents

And I need to finish that shyt but HULU took it off I can't stream it no more
