new finds on ACORN

Crownies and its spin-off Janet King. Tense Australian court drama very well written with great actors

Brokenwood mysteries. New Zealand mystery series. Beautiful country, good characters. My favorite character is the medical examiner!!

800 Words. Also from New Zealand. Father moves his kids to a very small seaside town where his family vacationed in his childhood. Kids of course hate it.
This town is full of quirky characters and fun plot lines. This poor dad seems to attract trouble like a magnet.

Murdock Mysteries. Canadian. 15 seasons. (first 9 are on Prime)
A little bit of murder, a little bit of steampunk, outrageous inventions, and guest appearances by many very familiar persons from the turn of the 19th to 20th centuries. (Tesla, Conan-Doyle, T Roosevelt and more) Very well written with very engaging characters.

Some of the other characters are sort of corny but the ME is a hoot.
