You should watch Broadchurch! It's an amazing British detective / drama about the murder of a boy in a small town. I don't know what to say other than that it's a must-watch.

If you prefer Scandinavian crime shows, I'd check out Varg Veum or Wallander.

I loved series 1 of Broadchurch. The writing is impeccable, and the characters are pitch perfect. Series 2, though, had me a bit puzzled as to what the writer was trying to do? I was still engrossed, though.

The other series that really had me hooked was Spiral (Engrenages in French). French murder investigations unit, and the legal system surrounding it. It's beautifully written, and the characters develop massively over the seasons. It's on US Netflix - I recommend it.
