My wife is a big fan of both shows and Detective Chief Inspector (retired) Tom Barnaby is one of my favorite TV characters.
John Nettles has been great. We haven’t had the heart to watch since his retirement. It’s our all time favorite but Foyle’s war is close as is Inspector Lewis and the original Morse. They took the time to do four or five shows a year and did them well. These shows were not highly politicized, just entertaining. For that reason, I think the streaming TV will wipe out the networks with the original content they are coming up with.
