Somewhere In The Ether…

There’s been so many memorable ones over the years but my question; What is your all time favourite?

Don’t worry if you can’t narrow it down to one, simply list your all time favourites good folks

On a mooch

So many good ones mentioned already, adding Silent Witness, Rebus, Between the Lines, The Killing (Scandinavian version, although the US take of it isn’t too shabby) and I can’t not add Hill Street Blues

I’m am laughing though as no one has mentioned Line of Duty.

Twin Peaks, it brought the art house to crime. Wonderful stuff.

The first series of True Detective was excellent as well, the second was dire though.

Hill Street Blues.

She character is just different. I don't think they ever cover why. It's similar with a lot of crime solving characters though, their brains work slightly differently.

Oh yes, Castle!

Mindhunter on Netflix was great. Too bad they are not planning to continue.

True detective first season.

Fargo.

Plenty of films - Zodiac, Prisoners, Knives Out, Mr Brooks.

I enjoyed Petrocelli as a youngster. In recent years the Roy Grace drama was good and glad it's returning. I'm a fan of Peter James books.
