I love mysteries…from my first Nancy Drew novel to Hitchcock films. And I have to say, the Brits do this genre brilliantly! I would LOVE to play an Agatha Christie-type detective….
Thanks to streaming services like Netflix, Prime and Hulu, the best British mystery tv series are available…
Here are some of my favorites:
The first season of this show is so compelling that I was certain they couldn’t keep it up in the next season. I was wrong. In fact, at the end of three seasons, I was heartbroken that show creator, Chris Chibnall was firm that the show would not continue.This original Netflix series was only one season…but WHAT A SEASON! If you watch the first two episodes, you will binge watch the rest!The Shetland Islands offer a starkly beautiful landscape to explore these mysteries. The characters are fully developed and the mysteries are good.Vera!!! Oh, my, I want to BE Vera! She’s flawed and lovable; brusque and caring. And boy, can she figure these murders out.
