Loved some of the others you mentioned. Happy Valley is awesome. River is good. Haven’t watched Luther. Did you see The Case? Hinterland also very good. I’ve seen so many I can’t recall them all.

The Fall
Marcella
Loch Ness
Paranoid
Dr. Foster (not a detective series, but still a mystery)
The Tunnel
Collateral
The Missing

I’ll have to check out the Missing and Paranoid, but Dr. Foster looked like a Murder She Wrote type show so I passed it up.

Luther is a damned good hard-assed detective type show. Ended too early because they couldn’t hold on to Idris Elba.

Happy Valley is a little lighter though for a detective show, more like a cop show wherein you know what’s happened.

River is very meh in my opinion. Great acting, good premise, but it would’ve been better as a movie rather than a drawn out series.

British shows:
Bodyguard on Netflix is very good.
The Jack Taylor series of movies are good.
Hinterland I just started.
Wallander is good, but I it could’ve been better.
Broadchurch is good for the first two seasons (haven’t seen the third).

I’ve got Secret City (Australian), Shetland (British), and La Mante (French) on my list but have yet to start them.

Have you seen Tin Star (Amazon Prime) or Fortitude (AP)? Might be worth the watch for you. One is Canadian and the other Norwegian but both are filmed in English.
