Killing Eve is just brilliant. Jodie Comer is such a talented actress. The way she can switch between accents and personalities is amazing

[TychoCelchu]

Really enjoy Endeavour. It has the pacing of more traditional British crime dramas, like it’s source show Inspector Morse. The 1960s-70s setting also works well for it.

Poirot is one of the all time best British crime shows. Agatha Christie had a well known gift for writing murder mysteries, and David Suchet truly made Poirot into a fully realised character.

A Touch of Frost, because who doesn’t love David Jason?

Silent witness...been incredible for over twenty years

[solitarysandpiper]

Villanelle is one of my favorite tv characters of all time... the writing, the casting and a true unsung hero... the wardrobe!

Some of my absolute favorites include The Fall, Happy Valley, Line of Duty, Dr.Foster and Bodyguard.

[Andy-Capp]

Try to search for Happy Valley starring Sarah Lancashire. Absolutely brilliant. The first episode aired in 2014. James Norton was outstanding.

A touch of frost. The best of British crime drama

[eckyboy]

Sorry for being pedantic. Phoebe Waller-Bridge didn't really write Killing Eve but did ( 4 episodes). I think Luke Jennings should get some credit for his 3 Novellas that inspired it. Great video as always.

Endeavor.. George Gently.. Vera.. Peaky Blinders.. Ripper Street.. Straight off the top of my head.. I'm sure there are many more.. British drama is all about telling a good story and building characters..

My favorite British Crime TV Series are:
o Death in Paradise (the one's with Ben Miller as Richard Poole are my favorites)
o Sherlock Holmes Mysteries with Jeremy Brett

[Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

Great choices, particularly with 'The Night Manager' and 'Luther' both deserve more recognition. A series which I loved many years ago and can recommend was 'Wire In The Blood' with Robson Green playing Dr. Tony Hill from 2002 - 2008, well worth checking out.

[DaveDangerous]

Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes is by far the best.
Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes is also well worth a watch.
The Professionals is a classic from my childhood. Very Good.

Don't really know many British crime dramas, but thanks for the tips. I'll check them out. If I don't like them, you owe me dinner. 😉

[mervinmannas]

I most certainly recommend you check out the 2 series of Happy Valley again only 6 episodes per series. Another great one i s Unforgotten. the 4th series is currently running but each only has 3-4 episodes so easy to binge watch you wont be disapointed.

[roballen]

Killing Eve was stupendous, Luther was almost as good and Giri Haji was hypnotic. i haven't seen the other 2. i'm loving the Line Of Duty, atm

[vaude]

You have excellent TV taste, first with comedies and then these.

Have you ever seen ‘No Offence’ on Channel 4? Sooo good, a (dark) drama but funny in a realistic and equally dark workplace style. And only 3 shortish seasons. There should have been 4 though.

[barryholden]

Agree with Killing Eve being in your list, its so addictive. The whole world is waiting impatiently for series 4. You have a good list :)

[edf]

My recent favourite is The Fall. Jamie Dornan, Gillian Anderson probably finest hours. Its absolutely compelling start to finish :)

[gillyUK]

Highly recc "Life on Mars" and "Line Of Duty" both of which heavily feature Keeley Hawes, funnily enough. Oh, and "The Fall" starring Gillian Anderson.

[cuthbert]

Great vid. I enjoyed the 'Morse' series and the spin-offs Lewis and Endeavor. Vera and Shetland Crime dramas are good. You five are exceptional could not disagree but there are so many to choose from. Best Wishes and thank you for your efforts and enjoy watching them.
