That’s where the cozy British murder mystery comes in, a “genre” of television that whisks you away to a gorgeous idyllic location (usually the British countryside, though some shows travel a bit further out) where you can forget about your troubles for an hour or two. While more action-driven gritty police dramas are also incredibly popular in the UK, including shows like Luther, Line of Duty, and Happy Valley, there are times when you just want to relax and watch your favorite characters solve the mystery of someone’s death without the looming presence of too much violence or trauma. But, in all honesty, it’s the Brits that dominate this genre of storytelling, with the legacies of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie influencing the British television landscape massively. The incomparable Columbo, for instance, or more recently Rian Johnson’s fabulous Knives Out movies, or Only Murders in the Building. In this day and age, who doesn’t love a good murder mystery? Some great examples have been released over the years.
