During World War II, a determined detective investigates murders, corruption, and wartime profiteering along England’s south coast, often battling bureaucracy as much as criminals. As the conflict ends, the work shifts into the uneasy postwar period, where new threats and moral dilemmas keep the pressure high.

About
If you enjoy thoughtful British whodunits with a strong historical backdrop and steady, character-driven tension, this should fit nicely; Not for you if you want fast action, big shootouts, or simple one-track mysteries like Midsomer Murders.
Pros: gripping mysteries; rich WWII backdrop; smart, dry humor | Cons: occasional contrived twists; later seasons lose steam; some loose threads
