I have watched my share of both and I have to say that most of the British Detective Shows are better television than most American Detective Shows.
I finished binge-watching a British Detective show called "Murder in Suburbia." It only ran for two seasons. I think that is a shame. It was a good show.
My favorite British Detective shows are Father Brown, Sister Boniface, Death in Paradise, and Beyond Paradise.
I do like some American Detective shows, at least some seasons of them. I liked Bones until the two main characters got emotionally involved. That ruined it for me. The same thing with Castle. It was good until the wedding episodes.
Do you like detective shows? Do you watch British and American shows? Which do you like better?

By and large, the British detective shows seem more credible and concentrate more on the story of the crime and not so much on the detective characters. The American shows always seem to be about the detectives' personal lives and problems.

I have to agree the British Murder Mysteries are brill DW.
Now at this time, I can't recall a lick about which ones I've seen, but I do recall loving them the best.
Especially when they take place in Oxford
as I lived there.

I'm afraid there are a few American shows are a bit beyond me. We started watching Mr Deeds last night but gave up after half-an-hour. In general, I prefer British shows. NZ put out some great films too.

Detective shows are almost always on here. We enjoy both American and British ones. My favorite are older ones.
