Dr. Foster (not a detective series, but still a mystery)

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.

Still haven't seen Luther, Happy Valley or River
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.

So, hopefully, the OP sees this and will change the thread title to something about “Detective Procedural Series” or the like.
Dr. Foster is a bit more of a drama than a detective procedural. If you wanted to watch Bodyguard and the Mrs. wanted to watch Girlfriend’s Guide to Divorce, Dr. Foster would be a good compromise.
On the Bodyguard note, couldn’t agree more with you. It was simply fantastic.
I also recently completed the 4-part Australian miniseries Deep Water on Netflix. It was pretty good. I think I’d have liked it a lot more if I hadn’t have just seen Bodyguard. It’s much sleepier and drier than Bodyguard, but still good if you’re short on options. I give it a 6/10
You’ve got some other really good recommendations here. Thanks. I just started the French series, The Frozen Dead, but will add these to the list.
