Streaming Recommendations?

 Jill and I are rapidly reaching the end of all the things we've been streaming since the pandemic and are in need of new suggestions.

Our likes include British mysteries and crime dramas, on the order of Midsomer Mysteries, Vera, and Professor T. Also comedy panel shows such as QI or 9 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown. From this side of the pond, we've enjoyed Longmire and the reboot of Leverage. Of course, SF and fantasy are always welcome, but we prefer things that don't get too dystopian, if you know what I mean.

We subscribe to Netflix, Disney+. Paramount+, Acorn, Britbox, HBOMax, IMBDtv, and Amazon Prime.

Any thoughts on what we might start watching?

Secret State is a mini series. Intrigue. 4 episodes.
Ambassadors Only ran for 1 season, 3 episodes, but very dry humor.
Bletchley Circle. Several seasons. Women from Bletchly Park in San Francisco solving crime.
The Last Detective. One of my favorites! Crime in the 20s, really fun, based on a book series. Really a shame they didn't do more of the books.
Sharpe. Based on a book series by Bernard Cornwall. Follows enlisted man Sharpe and his rise thru the ranks during the Napoleonic wars.

I goofed on one of the entries.
The Last Detective was indeed one of the fun ones.
However, it is Campion that is based on a mystery series set in the 20s. It is one of my top favorites.
