Foyle’s War is a British detective series set during WWII. Everything about it is terrific; the star is probably the best leading actor I’ve ever seen. Also Miss Fisher, set during the 1920s, right after WWI, in Australia. Both are on Netflix.
Add the earlier episodes of Midsomer Murders (murder with a sense of humor).
I loved that series Foyle’s War. Agree totally about the lead actor. Would love to see something similar.
I also liked Downton Abbey. Ripper Street was a pretty well done series about detectives at White Chapel area set just after the Ripper’s last victim. Watched it on Netflix.
I love Foyle’s War. It’s great.
Also love Foyle’s War. You might like Wolf Hall if you have Amazon Prime.
Wolf Hall
Tony Award-winning actor Mark Rylance and Emmy Award-winner Damian Lewis star as Thomas Cromwell and King Henry VIII in this adaptation of Hilary Mantel’s novels. A historical drama for a modern audience, Wolf Hall charts Cromwell’s meteoric rise in the Tudor court - from blacksmith’s son to Henry VIII’s closest advisor, trapped between his desire to do what is right and his instinct to survive.
We like Pryne Fisher. I was in a meeting with some folks from Australia and mentioned it . I was told it was made for export and never appeared on real Australian TV.
Bummer..... I thought I was getting a real glimpse of Australia
