@George-K said in Brit Mysteries:
I think my favorite was Foyle's War.
Yes, I loved that too. Partly because Foyle reminded me slightly of my maternal grandfather (in the way he carried himself more than his personality).
-
I remember the director (or was it the showrunner/producer?) of Foyle's War saying that Michael Kitchen could do more with the rise of an eyebrow that most actors could do with a script. Like, when he says "Right."
Morse was great too, but somehow Foyle grabbed me more.
-
Better ending than I expected. Very "twisty" - perhaps too contrived.
-
He is a great actor.
Sometimes that's all you need to transform a modest show ('As Time Goes By' and 'Vicious' comedies come to mind).
I can't recommend any current mysteries. I'm currently watching an old police series starring David Jason called 'A Touch of Frost'

I usually enjoy them. This weekend I started watching "Fool Me Once" on Netflix.
Interesting 1st episode. Wife (veteran) sees her husband killed in a mugging. A nanny can given as a gift hints that he's not really dead. Her sister was also killed in what was allegedly a robbery.
Good premise, eh?
A huge "meh." I'm several episodes in, and it's so convoluted, so many surprises, so many twists that it really defies believability.
Will I finish? Yeah - just because I want a resolution to the hours I've invested.
But - don't waste your time.
I actually watched that and only vaguely remember the ending. Don’t even remember enough to do a proper spoiler.

Just started watching this new crime drama.
Set in York, a lovely city not far down the road from us.
Seems promising. -
One of the first British crime dramas I watched and thought was really good was "Broadchurch". I thought season one was the best.
-
@taiwan_girl yeah.
If I want to get depressed, I'll watch it again.

Very true. It was tough to watch from that point of view.

I watched it with no expectations.
Yeah.
Good but...geez....
