(5,995 posts)Excellent casts in each series and carries a bit of a thread across each one.
Brit procedurals are generally riveting, lots of good ones on Acorn too.

(60,010 posts)Comes close to The Wire. Acting is flawlessly superb.
In Line of Duty, Lennie James was also very good, I am tracking down his other roles, he's worth watching.

(60,010 posts)Borgan...it is superb, one of those perfect actors in perfect roles things.
Occupied... definitely addicting. Problem is, Netflix streaming only showed Season 1, wile season 2 is complete and available elsewhere. I may have to break down and buy it.
Norwegian/swedish shows can be marvelous, but they have their not as good offerings also.
I'm on the outlook for more good ones.
