Like Annika? You’ll Love The Archivist 

A reclusive police archivist, on the cusp of retirement, partners with a young, ambitious police officer to clear cold-case files. Each episode presents a different case. The screenwriters were inspired by authentic, never solved investigations.

This sounds a lot like Annika. In this Masterpiece series, Annika (Nicola Walker, Unforgotten) and her Marine Homicide Unit solve puzzling murders that wash up in Scotland’s waters. Annika shares her wry literary insights on the crimes while raising her teen daughter, Morgan.
