Killer Questions – Our Favorite British Crime Shows
Mary Dutta - Broadchurch, Happy Valley, Inspector Morse
Shari Randall - My all-time favorite is the original Marple series starring Joan Hickson. My current favorite is Shetland.
Grace Topping - There are so many excellent British crime shows that it makes it hard to select just one. I would have to go to an old favorite, Midsomer Murders.
Debra H. Goldstein – Vera
Lori Roberts Herbst - Slow Horses. Love Gary Oldman. The entire entourage cast just works.
Korina Moss - This is a hard one, since I love so many, I know I’ll forget some. I really loved Sherlock (with Benedict Cumberbatch), Dalgliesh, and The Chelsea Detective. Midsomer Murders was a show I could always count on, and I also enjoyed both of M.C. Beaton’s series adaptations: Agatha Raisin and Hamish Macbeth. The early seasons of Father Brown and Death in Paradise were favorites. The show that’s newest to me that I really like is Beyond Paradise. Lately I’ve been re-watching all the Marple episodes on BritBox, which are my comfort shows.
K.M. Rockwood - Hamish MacBeth
Elaine Douts - I wish I had time to watch TV. There are a lot of shows on Brit Box that look really good. But I read for interviews and enjoyment. I’m not sure I could even get to sleep without reading. The last movie I saw was “The Thursday Afternoon Murder Club.” It was fun.
Susan Van Kirk - Line of Duty, Murder Before Evensong, Miss Marple, Sherlock
Kait Carson - Happy Valley, Lynley, Rosemary & Thyme, Midsomer Murders (although I’ll never catch up with it, there’s so many!)
Sarah E. Burr - I’ve been enjoying Death Valley, which features a retired actor who portrays a detective on TV helping out a young upstart detective in her Welsh hometown.
Martha Reed - Either one of the two BBC1 adaptations of the Lord Peter Wimsey novels by Dorothy L. Sayers starring Ian Carmichael or Edward Petherbridge available for free on YouTube. These and Time Team got me through 2020.
James M. Jackson - Shetland, but to be fair, I hardly ever watch TV.
Heather Weidner - Vera, Sherlock, and Broadchurch
