1. Blood and guts or clues and thinking?

[Delmette2.0]

3. No blood and guts.

I guess it is what is called a slow burn. It draws you in and you have to wAtch all 8 episodes.

8. I need to understand your limits.

There are bloody faces, gun shot wounds and one dead corspe.
No, extreme blood and guts like on some American medical shows.

6. Thanks. I'll check them out

13. Yeah those are great.

The Agatha Raisin series is fun.

[Luciferous]

16. I also recommend Brokenwood. It's not British but it's very good 🙂

[Luciferous]

15. I alternate between those two and also get PBS when there is a new period drama.

24. Acorn is getting some other European shows like from France and Scandinavia

Nice to see them branching out. I've enjoyed the Network for years.

7. Good one! n/t

9. It is good.

10. I would like British programing a lot better

If they would lean to speak good English.

11. We've learned to use subtitles.

Between that and a lot of re-winding, we can eventually figure out what is being said.

14. I love British mysteries but thought this one was pretty slow and gave up after 2 episodes. Does it

get better?

[Delmette2.0]

17. As in, does the action or plot move along faster?

I don't think it does. I did get a bit frustrated with it, but once you really want to know the answers...i found time to watch it to the end. There is more than one surprise.

[Luciferous]

18. Maybe I'll give it another shot

[nuxvomica]

19. Agreed and after that, "The Five"

I found The Stranger similar to Broadchurch in it's appeal. Then I searched for other Harlan Cobin stories and found The Five, which I actually thought was a little better. My only complaint is that such terrific stories have such generic titles.

20. I'll check it out. Thanks.

25. I thought all of those were excellent. I would add the Outsider as a must watch series.

It is based on a Stephen King book of the same name...not exactly the same but very good. It has Holly who made her first appearance in Mr. Mercedes ...she still runs Finder's Keepers detective agency. It was on HULU for a while but is now seen on HBO Max.

21. I just started watching The Stranger on Netflix. It is really good.

[Delmette2.0]

22. Awesome

[Irish_Dem]

23. I'm one of those people who always guesses what is going on right away, but this one is a challenge!

I am in the middle of the second episode, and I have put some of the pieces together.
But some of it is still a mystery!
Very good.

[Demsrule86]

26. I loved that series...watched all the Coben series I could find.

[Irish_Dem]

27. I will look for the others. It was really good.

If you like quirky British mysteries, try "Life on Mars" on Amazon. Either Britbox or BBC I think.
It is one of my favorite series.

[Demsrule86]

29. I will have to look for it...love British Mysteries.
