I just finished this and loved it. Thanks for the recommendation.Has anyone watched Karen Pirie? It's brilliant in my opinion- love the Scottish accent and one for the Shetland fans
British and Irish detective stories TV series
- Thread starter Traminer
- Start date
Let me know what you think! I struggled a little with the breaking of the third wall... I will be watching series 2 when it's out though.
It's not my favorite. I really don't like the talking to the camera part either but the rest of it is okay.

Love Shetland - I will definitely have to check this out then. Thanks for the recommendation.
I recently started Foyle’s War. It feels a bit dated and I’m hoping the characters will grow on me.
Magpie Murders. I’m enjoying this 6 episode arc story.
Me too. It took me a while to get the double cast straight. Always love Lesley Manville!
I have 2 more episodes. I like it a lot. I especially the the name of the detective, Atticus Pund. For some reason that tickles my fancy.
Happy Valley series 3 is out! (Well the first episode), the opening sequence of the first episode is fantastic

My late Mom, Dad and my uncles (Mom's brothers) loved mysteries whether from U.S., U.K., Japan or Canada. We probably would've loved ones from other countries but we had no access to them. Whether TV shows or movies murder mysteries had always been our choice to watch. Even with them all gone now it still is for me.

Having just re-read all 70+ Agatha Christie, including the Westmacotts - I cannot watch the Poirot and Miss Marple TV shows or movies. Too simplified, too much deviation, too many poor casting choices. Also, as much as I love the '30s, not all books were set in it! So that too.
