I seem to be watching a lot of mystery/crime shows these days

Father Brown, New Tricks, Hight Potential, and now the new season of Lincoln Lawyer. Nice diversion to what's going on with our failed government.

Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, Father Brown, Death in Paradise, Brokenwood Mysteries, Madame Blanc Mysteries, Midsomer Murders, etc. It's much more interesting than primetime shows.

which has all foreign films/series. I've subscribed for probably 10 years, and the price has not increased. I pay it yearly for 79.99 + tax.
There are so many quality programs offered. A. French Village is a favorite, as well as Weisenseee Saga. The Nordic Detective series are always good. Currently I'm watching Tatort (Crime Scene) Cologne. It has 6 seasons with abt 15 episodes. This is a beloved series that has run in Germany since the 1970's. There are many other series based in other German cities/towns. I've watched many others, but will most likely not get to them all. 😍
I highly recommend this streaming service.

My wife is a big Brokenwood fan.

I think that's the only show she watches .. other than that she doesn't watch TV.
