Another vote for this. I caught the first two or three seasons a couple of years ago when it was on Netflix. It is a great show.

I dont have BritBox but have seen many of the shows recommended in this thread. I’m wondering now if I should get a subscription.

Thanks to this thread we’ve subscribed to BritBox and, among other things, started watching **Shetland**.

It’s a very enjoyable show, with high production values. But I felt cheated at the end of the first one we watched (S1 eps 1&2, a 2-parter), as there is no way (perpetrators spoiler):

you could know the murderer was the wife/daughter. No way at all. It’s no fun watching a show where they make it impossible to finger the killer simply because they don’t expose you do any clues.

But we’ll watch the next episode or two and see what happens.

I watched the first two episodes of Wild Bill this afternoon. Rob Lowe moves to Boston, no not that one, with his daughter to improve the local constabulary.

I’m having a hard time understanding everyone but Rob Lowe. I’ll try closed captioning and see if that helps.
