Foyle's War
[UK] About police work in England during World War II. Occasional humor, but mostly serious. Loved the cast and the mysteries.
Cracker
[UK] A psychologist who consults with the police. Intense, but Robbie Coltrane as the psych provides flashes of [mostly sarcastic] humor.
Life
[US] Cop released from years in prison after being falsely convicted of murder rejoins the force. A drama, but with a fair amount of humor. Although it's a US show, it stars a Brit, Damian Lewis.
A Nero Wolfe Mystery
[US] Fine adaptations of various novels featuring the titular character. Fair amount of humor in the relationship between Wolfe [Maury Chaykin] and his assistant, Archie Goodwin [Timothy Hutton]. Interesting for its use of a sort of "repertory company" approach, with a stable of actors recycling through the series as different characters in different episodes.
Luther
[UK] A damaged DCI investigates brutal killings. Not much humor, except in Luther's relationship with a recurring character, but Idris Elba's performance is impressive. -

The Closer was one of the best shows on TV. Has the crime drama theme but a lot of banter between the characters. Lt. Louie Provenza, played by G. W. Bailey has me laughin all the time. I'm now watching re runs to catch what I might have missed the first time around.
The show was so good, as a matter of fact, they decided not to cancel it but to let it continue to run when Star, Kyra Sedgwick decided she needed a rest from it.
It ran from 2005 to 2012.
The new show is called Major Crimes. I've never seen this done on TV before. Perhaps they have but I missed it if they did.
The new show has all the same characters and the same story line. Just now, without Kyra Sedgwick.
I love the cast /characters on this show. I been watchin them for so long they feel like family (except for I like spendin time with them!) -

I'd like to add another one I ran across more recently [by the bye, I've started watching
New Tricks
, and I really enjoy it!]. It's
Death in Paradise
. A London cop who is disliked by his colleagues is sent to a Caribbean island to "temporarily" take charge after the death of the previous inspector. Sounds greatbut he hates sun, sand, sea and skynot to mention French, which is the background of many of the island's inhabitantsand just wants to go back to London. Funny, good cast, interesting mysteries. -

I think Copper was a great watch, shame it was cancelled. I have started looking thru UK tv alot of late and have watched some topnotch shows.
COPPER
PEAKY BLINDERS
BORGIA [ not"The Borgias"]
THE TUDORS
I love watching stuff from the 80s, I was in the UK in 85 when I was 16 and my dads cousin put on the Blackadder one night. In Canada we did get some british stuff, mostly the latenite comedy. Benny hill was must watch at 11 oclock on weekends.
I started watching Blackadder from ep1,I had just watched the Tudors, seemed like a good choice to follow up with. -

Burn Notice. About a spy out in the cold. Not Brit, but the lead actress is a Brit. Gabrielle Anwar (using an American accent for 110 out of the 111 episodes i.e. 7 seasons).
If you like humor, action, good writing, great acting (by Jeffrey Donovan), and lots of real things being blown up (by Gabrielle's character), you will LOVE Burn Notice. I've found all the episodes on the Watch Series website. Or you can see some episodes on USA network's website. But I recommend starting with the pilot. Very entertaining seriesmost popular on cable t.v. for several years running. With good reason.
