I didn't know there was a channel called "apple"?

Thanks again folks.. plenty to go on...DT's from Bron/Broen are at bay now.. (hate when you reach the end of a series you love)..

Have a v long list now..

Started watching PS 1973 last night.. I don't have v high hopes for it but i'll keep watching it anyway - tis short..

Then onto Cracker - catch up on the pioneers... but not sure if it has aged v well though..

Then its gotta be Forbrydelsen.. then The Missing/Baptiste..

Thanks again..

A great series set in Whitechapel in modern day London but with some throwbacks to cases from the time around Jack the Ripper as well. I always found it a little creepy but I am easily creeped :P It's on Netflix, all 4 series and there is a fantastic cast.

I actually had looked up Whitechapel last night - discovered it on the back of some actor who was in something mentioned here - can't rem what - but it looks really good - right up my street - was surprised no one had mentioned it here.. its high on the list now too - thanks

Some cracking recommendations a few more I don't see that I enjoyed
The Valhalla murders (some of same people in trapped - slow to get going but moves at a clip towards the end)
The man in room 301 (slow but gripping)
Witnesses (never really see this one mentioned but its an excellent French crime thriller)

Happy to hear you took the Cracker recommendations.

It’s an incredible show. Very raw and not sanitized or gimmicky like I find a lot of modern TV is.

Spiral is one of the best crime series I have ever seen. Exciting, unpredictable and you really care about the characters. It is French subtitles but do not let that put you off. I was so depressed after it ended. Brilliant

It doesn't appear on any of the streaming services and a cursory look didn't reveal it on the high seas either. It looks interesting.

I have just finished the 5th season of the French spy drama The Bureau.

Best drama I have watched in a long time.

Next up, The Break, a Belgian drama on Netflix...then Spiral....

The Shield is fantastic, some of the finest TV I've seen. I think it's all up on the RTE player. I think 4OD have it as well. I loved the US version of The Killing too. That's on Disney Plus.

It was on BBC so some of us would have recorded it, if you're in the 26 counties I am not aware of any legal means to access it via internet

So, last night I finished Bron/Broen (The Bridge) - woooooowwww... wow wow wow.. I have no words.. the final episode was like a fine work of Art - thats the only way I can describe it.

But what to watch next?
Is the American version any good?

Have watched a loved Line of Duty, Unforgotten, Prime Suspect, Happy Valley, Unbelievable..

Did not like, Luther, Marcella, The Fall, True Detective, The Wire, Bodyguard...

(Hate when you reach the end of a series you enjoy.. the benchmark is v high now).

Would appreciate recommendations based on the above.
TIA

Folks, tried watching The Killing (Forbrydelsen) and have given up - not my cuppa - too slow.. miss the detective team style that they used in Bron/Broen etc.. so keeping this in mind and my initial post (above) any tighter suggestions? Also, watched Cracker recently - adored it.
TIA

Rocco Schiavone (Ice Cold Murders), an Italian series on More 4 friday nights or repeated online on All 4 is diverting. Each murder mystery is wrapped up after 90 minutes so you can just check out the first one as a pilot.

I have only watched the first one but really enjoyable, easy watch and as you say all wrapped up.

If you can figure out the means to getting BBC iPlayer to work for you all of the episodes are available there. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03bnc34

Alternatively if you check the BBC schedule in August you may find it rescheduled for broadcast again. In 2019 and 2020 the entire series was broadcast on Saturday nights in blocks of 3/4 episodes from 9pm beginning in mid August and finishing in early December.

Law and Order original series?

Do The Tunnel and the American version of The Bridge follow the exact same story lines as Bron/Broen?

Can't speak for the American show but The Tunnel is not exactly the same, particularly in Series 2 and 3. I thought Clémence Poésy was very good in the "Saga" role.

Prime Suspect, Cracker and Bron/Broen have me ruined.. have tried a good few since and none are hitting the spot.. the bench mark is too high - but I am particular in fairness.. tried the 1st episodes of Frost and Taggert.. found them v v basic to say the least - do they get better as they go on? and if so, from what seasons?

Tried River - not for me.
Spiral - love the sound of it but man soo gruesome - mayb I should persist with it?

Thanks for your patience.

Wallender. A number of different versions out there. Very dark.
Morse. Very cerebral. It was the standard setter. It may have aged.
Endeavour. A spin off from Morse. Set in the Sixties. Very good and underrated. Although one or two duds.
Cracker has been mentioned.

All the above have a very interesting main character with many flaws.
Wallender with Krister Henriksson as the lead would be my pick.

I agree. The "films" based on the original Mankell books starring Rolf Lassgård are pretty good too.

Forget the BBC version with Kenneth Brannagh though, absolutely dreadful.

Have you looked at The Sinner? It's on Netflix but was on BBC a few years ago.

I think the story took about 4 episodes to begin to get really interesting. The final 30 seconds or so of each episode was the hook for the following episode - that annoyed me and I never bothered with the subsequent seasons but have been considering revisiting it.
