Murder She Wrote

The classic murder mystery show, beloved by all. Legendary actress Angela Lansbury is Jessica Fletcher, a retired teacher and now crime novelist, who solves murders in her spare time.

Monk

Another oldie but goodie. It tells the story of Adrian Monk, a gifted detective whose obsessive-compulsive disorder manages to be both a hindrance and a gift for him, depending on the circumstances. Exciting mysteries and a thoroughly lovable lead played by Tony Shalhoub make this one still worth a watch.

The White Lotus

Paradise, mystery, drama, and an all-star ensemble cast. Always a winning combination. This show depicts several wealthy people struggling with secrets and problems and is so entertaining that you will fly through the first two seasons before you know it. A third season is also coming.

Deadloch

This Australian, odd-couple-style murder mystery will have you laughing and cringing. A peaceful Tasmanian town sees a dead man wash up on the beach and two very different detectives are forced to work together to solve the crime. Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan both deliver awesome performances as the leads.
