- StelleDavid SuchetHugh FraserPhilip JacksonDall'Inghilterra all'Egitto, l'eccentrico ed eccellente detective Hercule Poirot, accompagnato dai suoi compagni eleganti e fidati, si oppone alla sua mente a una serie di inganni di prima classe.There are several seasons and none of them is worth missing. Beyond Christie's plots, the success of this undisputed number 1 series lies largely on the shoulders of David Suchet. In the final few seasons, the series deviated from the original Christie plots, yet the liberties taken with Poirot are not as high as with Marple.
- StelleAlan DaviesCaroline QuentinStuart MilliganJonathan Creek, a magician's creative consultant with a natural ability for solving puzzles, works from his home in a converted windmill and uses his abilities to solve impossible crimes and mysterious murders.This features among the most intriguing and perplexing plots, yet all with a simple explanation. Focuses more on how dunnit than who dunnit. Caroline Quentin and Alan Davies are fun to watch together (sadly the pairing is limited to only the first two seasons).
- CreatoriGlen A. LarsonLou ShawStelleJack KlugmanJohn S. RaginRobert ItoSegui i casi di un medico legale che indaga su morti sospette che di solito suggeriscono un omicidio.The best American mystery series I have found. Dr. Quincy is reminiscent of Dr. Joseph Bell, the real-life inspiration of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories. What I particularly like about the series, other than the harmless humor, is that this has logically the most sound plots of all the series listed here - Dr. Quincy considers all alternatives and uses a lot of 'if' in his suppositions, instead of divinely arriving at the correct explanation among all possible ones.
- The original unadulterated 1980s series featuring Joan Hickson as Miss Marple - often named "Agatha Christie's Miss Marple". Joan Hickson was best suited to play the role of Miss Marple. Also, the original series remained faithful to Christie's plots. The recent Marple videos (featuring Geraldine McEwan and Julia McKenzie) have taken liberties with the plots, sometimes distorting them altogether.
- CreatoriMaureen JenningsAlexandra ZarownyCal CoonsStelleYannick BissonThomas CraigJonny HarrisNel 1890, William Murdoch utilizza tecniche forensi radicali per il tempo, tra cui impronte digitali e tracce per risolvere alcuni degli omicidi più macabri della città.A well-crafted, well-acted Canadian series.

- CreatoreCaroline GrahamStelleJohn NettlesJane WymarkBarry JacksonUn ex ispettore capo e il suo giovane sergente indagano sugli omicidi intorno alla comunità regionale della contea di Midsomer.Entangled (even if sometimes unbelievable) plots - lots of fun despite unconvincing detective work. John Nettles shines as Detective Barnaby.
- CreatoriMark GatissSteven MoffatStelleBenedict CumberbatchMartin FreemanUna StubbsUn aggiornamento moderno con il famoso investigatore e il suo medico che risolvono il crimine nella Londra del 21 ° secolo.A very modern approach to the character of the classic detective and his nemesis has made the series highly engaging and enjoyable.
- StelleShaun EvansRoger AllamJames BradshawAmbientato negli anni sessanta, lo show segue il poliziotto Endeavour Morse ed il suo partner Ispettore Fred Thursday mentre investigano e risolvono casi ad Oxford.The good points of Inspector Morse coupled with mid 20th century charm. Shaun Evans is quite a revelation. Also, the opera music helps the series quite a bit.

- StelleEssie DavisNathan PageHugo Johnstone-BurtUna donna, alla fine degli anni '20, attraversa le strade secondarie e i jazz club di Melbourne, combattendo l'ingiustizia con la sua pistola dal manico di perla e il suo affilatissimo pugnale.Charming Australian series.
