Happy Valley - BritBox 

This outstandingly good series follows a Yorkshire sergeant, Catherine Cawood, as she deals with the kidnap for ransom of a local businessman's daughter, as well as a very complicated home life; bringing up her son of her late daughter, who died by suicide after she was assaulted by Tommy Lee Royce... who has just been released from prison.

Strike - BBC iPlayer 

Based on the bestselling novels by JK Rowling, this drama follows Cormoran Strike, an army veteran turned private detective with an estranged rockstar father, and his office assistant turned partner Robin. Each season is better than the last, and sees Cormoran and Robin take on an assortment of grisly investigations in London.

No Offence - Channel 4 

This whip-smart, seriously underrated Channel 4 show is based in Manchester and follows a team of detectives looking into a serial killer who has been targeting girls with Down syndrome. As another girl is killed, the race is on to stop the culprit, before he strikes again.

Giri/Haji - Netflix

With a 100 per cent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, this is absolutely one to catch up on if you haven't watched it yet. The story follows a Tokyo detective, Kenzo Mori, who travels to London in search of his brother, Yuto, who in turn has been accused of murdering a Yakuza family member. Keep a lookout for Line of Duty's very own Kelly McDonald in this one.
