Give Luther a shot.

aight, cheers

Endeavor is amazing. I know how stupid this sounds, but it actually might be too smart. I have to work hard to understand what the fuck is going on in some episodes so watching it feels like work.

overrated superhero shit

Columbo

Psych, although people here will probably tell you it's reddit tier normie bait.

It's like Sherlock. If Sherlock was a house wife and Watson was a hardass detective. Also they do real police work.

>tfw as a child when Columbo was on the telly I'd never know when it was on so I'd always miss the beginning and have no idea who the killer is

The Shadow Line.

Came out on BBC around 10 years ago. Only had 1 season. Fucking brilliant crime drama/thriller. Not easy to find though, torrents will be rare.

Twin Peaks 2017

>>83633154
That ending was depressing.

It's Britain, how does he even have a gun?

Can't beat cute Korean girls solving crime.

>>83633182
Great twist though. I don't think anybody saw that coming. I know I didn't.

Anyway. lets not spoil it.

Luther isn't smart. It's merely average.

>>83633230
>cutw
Looks like Scooby-Doo with Velmas only.

>>83633092
The show can be clever, but I'm not sure I'd ever call it "smart." I absolutely love it though.

>>83633215
I'll second this, even though I stopped watching at season 3

>>83633215
Lucy Liu still looks amazing for her age.

That is a way you can describe it.

I really like that they didn't make it a will they or wont they.

Prime Suspect is the perfect grannykino.

>>83632034
Poirot
Twin Peaks
True detective

>>83633154
Is that Brenny?

Hannibal was pretty good if you're into artsy fartsy stuff.
True Detective had an incredible atmosphere and buildup, but most people on /tv/ found the ending to be weak, I think it's pretty good though.

>>83632054
Luther sucked hard I've never dropped a show so quick

Kolchak movies and tv show

>>83633581
Who?

It's Chris Ecclestone, the guy from 12 years a slave, and another dude. It had dozens of UK actors in it. Rafe Spall was in it, can't remember the rest.

>>83633411
Did they?

>>83633864
No the show goes out of it's way not to get the two romantically involved.

>>83633272
You gay, son?

>>83633129
Is it in english or subbed?

>>83633944
subbed

I have hated Martin Freeman's faggot face ever since the moment I first saw him

>>83633895
One is obviously homosexual/asexual?

>>83634016
Nope Sherlock fucks a bunch of women and Watson only dates men.

>>83633312
underrated

>>83633061
Columbo isn't really 'smart' as sometimes it makes huge leaps, and that's even in earlier seasons when they should have better ideas. You can overlook that though because it really is great.

The Killing season 3

>>83634040
Doesn't seem too "out of it's way" to me but hey, I don't really like the show, I just ask out of curiosity.
I can't stand Lucy acting the same as in Lucky Number Slevin, wich actually is pretty much how Lucy acs in every movie. Also didn't like the drugaddict Sherlock. Yes, I know he was one in the book, but this "modern take on Sherlock's addiction!" felt like a dumbed down House. This show aired a few months after House ended and I hate it for it.


Also, for OP, I enjoyed the movie Vidocq, but may not be the kind of clever you are looking for.

>>83634227
Why season 3 in particular? The Killing is pretty good overall

I recommend Il Commissario Montalbano (Luca Zingaretti is great, I also recommend the spin-off about a young Montalbano), Maigret (played by Bruno Cremer), Poirot (played by David Suchet) and The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (Jeremy Brett played a great Holmes).

>>83634281
Can't speak for that guy, but I thought The Killing's first season was garbage. The most frustrating season finale I've ever witnessed. I'm surprised to read later seasons are any good.

>>83634232
They go out of their way to spell it out in season 4 i think.

>>83634232
>a dumbed down House
You do know House and Wilson are supposed to be Holmes and Watson right? You're practically criticizing the fact that 2 materials from the same source being too similar.

>>83634484
No he's criticizing the fact that both have the same source material only elementary adapted it worse
