I love cop shows

@doctor-phibes thanks!

I watched the first one yesterday and was a bit put off by the emphasis on Tenison’s position and angst as a woman. That was put on the back burner in the second episode.

I’m enjoying so far.

Hulu has it now.

Another British one Mrs. Phibes and I enjoyed was River, which is on Netflix - it's slightly odd, in that one of the characters is dead, and is basically a figment of the main character's imagination.

I know, it sounds like Randall and Hopkirk (deceased), but it really isn't - it's very good.

@doctor-phibes thanks.

On Amazon Prime.

Added to my list.

A different approach...How about something to listen to while walking?

Johnny Dollar is an investigator for different insurance companies. The premise of the show uses his expense account to narrate the plot.

Jesse Stone, man. The books are just fun, and the movies are great, too. They're shot in a Hallmark movie kinda way but the stories are well-done.

Bonus: a dog is a central character.

I could never buy Selleck as Jesse, though. He was just too . . . I dunno, Selleck.

It was like trying to buy Elizabeth Taylor as Cleopatra. Her Elizabeth Taylor-ness was too intrusive.

I thought he did an excellent job as Jesse. Magnum P.I. the show ain't, in every way.

Well, your opinion is stupid.

He did a good job. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I agree with Aqua. Thought Selleck was good in the Jesse Stone pics. Like him in Bluebloods as well.

Haven't yet found a really good Spencer, though...

No, Robert Urich didn't work for me, either. Neither did Avery Brooks, come to think of it.

I'd like to have seen Stacy Keach in the role.

Thought he did a good job as Hammer...

NYPD Blue

[jodi]

There is one that takes place in the islands above Scotland (which is named for them) and I can’t remember that name either…

[jodi]

Should have remembered. Like the ponies. “Shetland”. There is another that I liked, I can only picture the guy, dark hair, sad face, beard. I’ll have to go Google it.
