The sale of Prime Video Transmission Service accessories has some very tempting offers in Britbox at this time, reducing the cost of seeing some of the best shows in the United Kingdom. And that means that I will recommend seeing programs of three different genres: crime, crime and more crime. Because if there is something that the British we love to do and we love to see, it is a police program.
It is fair to say that the typical British police shows are not like the typical Americans. That is partly due to the fact that most British police do not carry weapons, although we are going to highlight an important exception to that at one time.
It is also due to the fact that a large part of the United Kingdom is quite quiet, so writers cannot simply fill the docks with rpg -armed thugs and send the police crossing the warehouse doors in a armored humvee (although we still have a strange and quite crazy action policeman, like Idis Elba’s Luther). The spectators would rightly find that ridiculous and tut in their cups of tea.
What these programs have instead of great explosions is a great writing, a fantastic performance and a dense conspiracy, and that makes them not only observe, but essential television programs.
Blue lights (2 seasons)
Attend
Great Britain has more police dramas than people: in the last census there were 69 million people living in Britain and 73 billion police shows to see them. But Blue lights It is different, mainly due to its surroundings: it is located among the ‘peelators’ of the Northern Ireland Police Service in Belfast, a city where problems continue to throw a long shadow.
Britbox is currently showing the first two seasons of the drama; The third is currently broadcast on the BBC and is the weakest of the three. Seasons one and two are the best so far.
The program does a great job when portraying tensions that make Belfast surveillance very different from surveillance in England, and show the toll that you can face younger officers in particular. And as someone whose family comes from Belfast, I think he does a great job by nailing the very fun way that the people of Northern Ireland are enrollan: there is a lot of warmth and humor here, as well as a moving stress. Think about it as a soap takeover, The wire And you have the idea.
Shetland (9 seasons)
Attend
Based on the best -selling Thrillers of Ann Cleeves, the award -winning police drama Shetland begins Douglas Henshall as Di Jimmy Pérez, a more northern police officer of the British Isles: Shetland is an archipelago located more than 100 miles north of the main Scots, where he is tied by strong winds and heavy seas.
Scots Viewers (Hello!) Had Fun with the inconsistencies in the show – Such as Everybody on the Island Having A Glasgow Accent, not a Shetland One, Because Glasgow Was Where a Lot of the Interiors were Philmed, and Dougie Henshall’s Character Having A Spanish Surname Henshall is About as Spanish as a haggis wearing a kilt and playing the bagpipes – and the departure of the lead actor AFTER Season Seven Coincide with a remarkable fall in quality. But at his best, Shetland is an exciting and carefully planned police drama with a cast -winning cast and a filming of absolutely beautiful location.
Poirot de Agatha Christie (12 seasons)
And now for a very different type of detective. David Suchet plays the Belgian researcher Hercule Poirot in twelve seasons of mysteries of Gentile but exciting crime.
Located in the twenties and twenty 1930 years with locations worldwide, Poirot is a party for the eyes (and especially fun for fashion fans: they were decades of delicious dresses) and was nominated for multiple BAFTA, the British equivalent of the Emmy awards, like many other awards. It is the television equivalent of a really pleasant meal in a very pleasant and quite high class restaurant, a show to savor like a small gift after a long day.
