Van Der Valk, Amsterdam
Amsterdam — city of bikes, boats and bodies. At least, that’s the way steely-eyed cop Piet van der Valk sees his murder-infested beat. Marc Warren (Beecham House) stars as the title character in Van der Valk, an all-new, three-part series based on Nicolas Freeling’s legendary crime thrillers.
The Tunnel, France and England
The emotionally-charged, critically-acclaimed, bilingual crime thriller stars Stephen Dillane Karl Roebuck and Clémence Poésy as French detective Elise Wassermann. This unlikely, Anglo-French partnership is brought together when a woman is found dead at the midpoint of the Channel Tunnel.
Baptiste, Amsterdam
Tcheky Karyo revives his role as French detective Julien Baptiste in this spinoff of “The Missing.” While visiting his daughter in Amsterdam, Baptiste becomes drawn into a missing persons case that may be connected to a human trafficking gang.
Endeavour, Oxford
Shaun Evans charms audiences with his portrayal of the cerebral and solitary Detective Constable Morse in Endeavour in this Inspector Morse prequel. Both Endeavour and Inspector Morse take place in Oxford. Endeavour’s panoramic shots of Oxford would be a travel endorsement, if it weren’t for all of the murders.
Vienna Blood, Vienna
A student of Sigmund Freud and an Austrian detective team up to solve some of the most mysterious and deadly cases in early 1900s Vienna.
Frankie Drake, Toronto
Set in 1920s Toronto, the series follows the adventures of Frankie Drake and her partner Trudy Clarke at Drake Private Detectives, the city’s only all-female detective agency, as they find themselves fighting crime in the age of flyboys, gangsters, rum-runners and speakeasies.
