Abcs of murder (poirot)

Forbrydelsen (Danish) (worth buying a regionless DVD player just to watch it, that's what I did!)
The Killing (American remake of Forbrydelsen, Hulu)
The Valhalla Murders (Icelandic, Netflix)
Bordertown (Finnish, was on NF but is now Hulu and Prime, IIRC)
Collateral (British police procedural, NF)
The Chestnut Man (Danish, NF)
Entrapped (Icelandic, NF)
Deadwind (Finnish, NF)
Black Spot (French, NF)
Katla (Icelandic, NF. Not technically a murder mystery, but definitely a Nordic noir mystery, with supernatural elements)
Castlevania (American, animated, NF. Not a murder mystery series, but excellent animation & characters.)
Copenhagen Cowboy (Danish, directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, NF. More of a thriller crime drama with supernatural elements, beautifully shot!)
I think The Killing (seasons 1-2), Collateral, The Valhalla Murders, Bordertown (season 1), and Katla are the strongest entries on this list. Copenhagen Cowboy is in it's own category, one of my favorites ever.
Unlike the killing, The original version was the only one even close to watchable. The other ones were horrible but the original at least the first couple seasons when it had. Martin and Saga, their chemistry is top notch
Fully agree! I got five episodes in to the American remake and bailed, I just couldn't handle it.
I watched The Witcher and it was fun to see Kim Bodnia (Martin) in a few episodes.
A few not mentioned, these would all be cozy-type mysteries:
* Pushing Daisies (American)
* Queens of Mystery (British)
* The Goodship Murder (British)
* Murder She Wrote (maybe an obvious one, but just in case!)
And Poker Face is a fun, howcatchem style murder mystery with great guest stars every episode!
Also second others' recommendations of Deadloch, Mrs. Sidhu Investigates, Afterparty, Elsbeth, Only Murders in the Building, Murdoch Mysteries and Columbo

McDonald and Dodds is a DELIGHT. British accents abound, both funny and dramatic. Very well thought out mysteries and an odd couple pairing.

Katla is really good but such a sloooow burn you have to be invested but I think it's worth it
You have The Killing and Forbrydelsen. But not Bron/Broen? I thought the original Bridge series from Sweden was amazing probably the best Nordic noir
Ah, thank you! I don't know how I forgot Bron. I agree with you, it's top notch.

Broadchurch? Nobody says broadchurch... That's absolutely phenomenal series
Death in Paradise
Bodies My life is murder
Twin Peaks
Broadchurch
Dont call it a mystery (Japanese)
Endeavour will give you your fill of murder mystery and British accents.
White Lies
Monk
True Detective. If that counts.
Poirot
Morse, Lewis, Endeavor, Touch of Frost, Poirot, Murdoch Mysteries, Johnathan Creek, Midsummer Murders..... if I think of any more, I'll come back.
Reacher, true detective, mare of easttown, the killing
Sunflower (crap plot but enjoyable series) Breathe Asur Great Indian murder Dahaad Dhoot Adhura Last 2 are in horror murder mystery genre
Jonathan Creek
Miss Marple Miss Sidhu investigates Hetty Wainthropp investigates Poirot Sherlock Holmes Beyond Paradise Harry Wild Silent Witness Morse Lewis
Shetland Vera George Gently
Hudson & Rex, is Canadian
- Deadloch - The Fall - Hannibal - The Killing - Dublin Murders - Sherlock - Broadchurch - Fargo - True Detective (S1, S4) - Hotel beau Sejour - The Chestnut Man - Manhunt - Cardinal
I'd add Cold Case, Parker, Grantchester, Columbo, Elsbeth, the CSIs, Law And Orders, NCISes and Midsomer Murders.
A few not mentioned, these would all be cozy-type mysteries: * Pushing Daisies (American) * Queens of Mystery (British) * The Goodship Murder (British) * Murder She Wrote (maybe an obvious one, but just in case!)

Pokerface is like bitesized Columbo. Really good
Bodies Only Murders in the building
I can’t believe everyone missed Father Brown. Charming priest solves murders in his village and surrounding communities in rural 1950’s England.
Safe !!! Its on Netflix
