Oh no, you mentioned English shows.
I love English TV series. I find the story lines to be much more interesting. Endeavour Morse Inspector Lyndley Mysteries Father Brown Lewis Call the Midwife Ripper Street - I have just started to watch on Netflix Scott and Bailey Midsommer Mysteries Luther - a bit creepy, but incredible Any British Sherlock Miss Marple Poirot I can go on and on. Have you seen any of the Murdock Mysteries It takes place in Victorian Toronto? It is a Canadian show, I believe it has been released in the US as The Artful Detective? The current episodes can be viewed at http://www.cbc.ca/murdochmysteries/episodes/ |
Love Netflix, no commercials and cheap tv!
British: Call the Midwife, Monarch of the Glen, Last Tango in Halifax, Peaky Blinders, Keeping Up Appearances, the Bletchley Circle, Rosemary and Thyme, The Paradise and Land Girls. American: Longmire, The 100, Bloodline, Madam Secretary, One Tree Hill Canadian: Strange Empire (western type show but focuses on women) You guys have given me some new ones to try! |

Off subject, but since you are watching via DVD or streaming - you can also check DVD's out from your local library. If they don't have a particular title/series, you can request it and the library can get it from another library.

libraries are never off subject in my world! We have a tiny library, and I have to pay to get them brought in from other libraries. I do donate a lot to ours, and what they can't use goes into a huge Mother's Day book sale. I always go with two grocery bags :) but our little downtown flooded a few weeks ago, and our library, city hall, police station and post office are basically gone. I have no idea when we will get any of them back up and running

I liked the original CSI the best. My sister watched Call the Midwife and loved it, I have never seen it. She also loved Downton Abbey. They are both on my lost to check out. My SIL highly recommended Breaking Bad. Never seen that either.

That's awful! Did the library lose all the books? If so I have several whole sets/almost whole sets of authors I would be glad to mail to the library when it's up and running. I can't imagine not having a library to go to!

Talking about cop shows, I also really like Criminal Minds. NCIS is also wonderful, but then I have a secret love affair with Mark Harmon. belfrybat--Join the group as I too have a secret love affair for Mark Harmon. Happy New Years. Karen |
Such terrible news for your library. My local library does have paperbacks, many are donated by community members. Even if they only last a few readings it is a cheap way to have current best sellers.
I know libraries pay a premium on hardcover books. |
NCIS is great. Original CSI (with Gibbs) is great, too. Amongst my "favorites" were: Army Wives and JAG. These last two were not crime programs, just that I enjoyed them.
