From my recent thread on cozy mysteries, @GuanoLad recommended a few shows on Britbox. So far, the ones I haven’t seen in this thread are **MacDonald and Dodds** and **Miss Scarlett and the Duke**.

In the first sentence, he’s talking about Acorn. After that, the shows are mostly on Britbox.

> This is a good plan, because there you will find things like Agatha Raisin, Whitstable Pearl, Professor T, and Dead Still. Also you may want to track down McDonald and Dodds, Rosemary and Thyme, Miss Scarlet and the Duke, and Shakespeare and Hathaway.

@MrDibble recommended **Jonathan Creek** , which is on Britbox.

> Jonathan Creek was cosy-adjacent. At least the first seasons.

@omenran liked **Cadfael** , also on Britbox.

> Probably because Mystery! On PBS ran it alongside Agatha Christie stuff, I put Cadfael in the same genre of mystery stories. I haven’t read the books it’s based on, but I do enjoy the episodes. (There are 4 seasons, but a total of 13 episodes)
