Sunday's best: Top ten Detective TV shows
What is it with Detectives that they are almost always single elderly men? Most of them have problems with their (ex) wives. Hardly any of them have children. And most of the times the seem very unhappy in their private lives. Maybe that is necessary to fully concentrate on the job (or it makes a better story ;-) ). While watching the Dalziel & Pascoe series, I was wondering what the best Detective TV shows were:
- Foyle's War - because of the stories and settings.
- Dalziel & Pascoe - This is one show where it is difficult to guess who done it right from the start (it takes me about 10 minutes :-)) )
- Wallander - because it is swedish...
- Morse - Because of John Thaw, and his car of course
- Columbo - Nice stories
- McCloud - Who doesn't want to be Sam McCloud?
- Frost - Nice social settings
- Midsommer Murders - Because of its English county sides and festivals
- Tatort - still going strong after almost 40 years. I like especially Hansjörg Felmy as
Kommissar Haferkamp - Poirot - Little outdated, but nice Art Deco settings
