Yes, it is The Dr. Blake Mysteries. That is a good idea to turn on the subtitles. I will try it this week. All three shows (Dr. Blake Mysteries, Father Brown, and Coroner) have good plots, no cussing or sex, and the violence is done off-screen. There is another one I like too, but it may not be for everyone, “Call the Midwife”. It takes place in London in the early 1960’s. There are story lines that reflect events of the late 50’s - early 60’s (Thalidomide babies for instance). Too bad more American made shows don't follow the guidelines the British use.

The fourth season of Dr. Blake aired on British TV earlier this year. There's a fifth season of Dr. Blake coming later this year, with a full-length movie as a finale to the series. I'm not sure when any of it will show up on Netflix. I just started watching "Deep Water" which is an Australian crime series. Craig McLachlan plays a character in it sans beard. It's live streaming on Netflix.

Have you ever watched "Foyle's War?" Netflix offers all eight seasons of the show on DVD. It's a British detective show that takes place during WWII. The end of the series takes place after the war has ended. "Shetland" is also another great detective series. Netflix has the first three seasons streaming. Douglas Henshall plays the Chief detective. I'd recommend "Vera" but I noticed Netflix doesn't have it. The main character Detective Chief Inspector Vera Stanhope is played by Brenda Blethyn. There's been four seasons so far, and has been renewed for a fifth. "Hinterland" is a Welsh detective series. Netflix has two seasons live streaming, and a third season aired in Britain last October.
