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
