(and Irish crime)

That's not quite what I mean by Brit/Irish crime. I mean stuff like Líne of Duty, Hidden, Happy Valley, Blue Lights, Low Winter Sun… They all have a similar vibe, some darker than others.

Happy Valley is the only one of those I've seen, so I probably can't help much lmao. I did watch Dept Q recently and really enjoyed it. And Inside Man. But you've probably seen those

I have! The national broadcast here channel looooves its brit crime because we do. The rest I can find on youtube or hopefully other streaming apps. There will be some things I can't get hold of, though.
If you get the chance to see the Welsh crime series Hidden (Craith), see it. It's beautiful and sad. The first series straight up haunted me. Great acting. Gorgeous scenery.

I'll look into it! We're mostly confined to whatever Netflix chooses to share with us, but there are other avenues I can explore…
Have you seen Mr. Mercedes? Not a British or Irish crime series, but it does star Brendan Gleeson. It's quite underrated, particularly the first season. Although since it is a Stephen King adaptation, things get a little strange later on.

I saw the first season of that.

I read an article not so long ago that said there's a streaming service that has Hidden in the US. Not Netflix, it was another well known one.

Google says it's on Prime, so if that's the case then, yes, I can watch it. I'll let you know my thoughts on it.

Never heard of any of 'em. They must be contemporary stuff.

Yes, contemporary stuff. Some series are older, of course.

Have I recommended Unforgotten to you yet? It's one of the best cold case Brit crime dramas I've seen.

Yes! Ironically, I forgot about it. But it's actually available on here (just goes by a Swedish title). I'll get on that soon too then.

I hope you like it

I probably will! Love this sort of thing. There was another one you mentioned where the main character breaks the fourth wall and that could put people off but that it was good. Which one was that again?

Ah yes that's Annika! Nicola Walker is in both. Still waiting for a third season or even news of a third season

I think that's available here, too. Pretty sure I saw the thumbnail for it while tv app flipping.
