If you like these, try Karen Pirie, Traces, Annika, etc. I have a soft spot for British crime shows.

Thanks. I’ve seen Karen Pirie but not the others.

Me too. Little shootouts, more depth and sleuthing.

While it may not be everyone's cup of tea, I recently watched Blue Eye Samurai on Netflix and it was excellent. In the West, we tend to have hangups about animation being for children but this is a beautifully illustrated adult-targeted historical drama with really well developed characters and themes.

It’s the old stuff I like most. In the days before political correctness, British tv was cracking good. When I watch On the Buses, Are You Being Served or Keeping Up Appearances I am transported to my youth in 1970s London and as a newly arrived Brit in late 1970s Mississauga.

First two, definitely. I’ve just watched a few episodes of Only Fools and Horses, which I’d not watched since the 1980s. Oh my, my thoroughly indoctrinated adult kids would not approve.

But it was still a fun nostalgic look at tv from my youth.

I just finished The Cazalets. A decent adaptation of the first two books in a series I quite enjoyed.
