Some wonderful recommendations here. Being the the UK the BBC have just put all the Jonathan Creek series on i player, we finished them (again) last night such a great show. Some good recommendations as ever here too, thank you.

Grace and Line of Duty are some intense police procedural British dramas, too. Line of Duty is probably my 2nd favorite cop show; The Shield is #1.

I’d also recommend The Cleaner with Greg Davies if you’re into his comedy.

Those are good! I’ve only caught one episode of The Cleaner so I’ve got to go back and watch more of those.

I’ve been meaning to write an entire feature on Line of Duty. It’s been a while since I’ve seen The Shield so now I want to revisit that one, too. Did you see The Wire?

Yes, I really like The Wire, too. Very well done, as are most HBO shows and series.

The Cleaner is just too funny! British shows are just so solid and well done.

Oh, man. If you did an entire piece on Line of Duty. Man, I’d be all over that! Such a great show!

I think The Shield’s pilot episode is the best pilot I’ve ever seen. The way that it ends: 🤯. The series finale episode’s ending is just 🤯, too.

Justice for The Afterparty! That show was so genius and I’ve never laughed so hard.

Reda- I’ve been sorely missing out on some of these shows. I did like Psych though. This is really making me look forward to catching up.
