looking for a new show comedy/dramedy or mystery (British/Australian/New Zealand?)

[Anonymous]

I've gone through a lot of British/Australian/New Zealand programming over the last few years, and wondering if DCUMers have suggestions for more? I have some American shows I can turn to, but I've enjoyed these all and I'm curious what I might have missed.

Comedies/dramedies
Nothing Trivial
Lovesick
Imposters
Offspring
The Heart Guy
Step Dave
Packed to the Rafters
800 Words
Under the Vines
Catastrophe
Last Tango in Halifax

Mysteries (some with a comedic bent)
Broadchurch
Unforgotten
Annika
River
The Missing
Baptiste
Wallander
Luther
Brokenwood Mysteries
Agatha Raisin

I haven't seen the rest of the shows on your list, but as a fan of Offspring, Nothing Trivial, Step Dave, and Catastrophe, I'll ask have you already seen?:

Wonderland (Australian friend drama, interesting charters, great scenery and eye candy)
Sisters (Australian, about the family that results from a a reproductive health doctor using his own sperm in his fertility clinic)
Party tricks (Australian political dramedy starring Asher Keddie from Offspring)
Fresh Meat (UK, college comedy, there's just one episode you might want to skip if you have any fears of the dentist)
Class of '07 (Australian girls school reunion stranded during the apocalypse comedy)

I think that list is roughly in order of how I'd rank them.

I'll have to check out some of your dramedy list.

I don’t watch a lot of TV from those countries, so I can’t really compare these to your list. I have enjoyed:
Almighty Johnsons
Secret City

Death in Paradise

Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries

Deadloch is new on Prime. It's Australian, and one character is super annoying but tones it down a bit in later episodes.

I don't think I saw these on your list:

Rake
DC Banks
Shetland
The Split
Miss Scarlett and the Duke
Vienna

Not sure where these can be found:
A Place to Call Home
Dr. Blake Mysteries (allegations against the star of this one so you might want to look into that if that would bother you)

Young Wallander
Marcella
Doctor Foster
Paranoid
Collateral
The Stranger
Stay Close
Anatomy of a Scandal
Wanderlust
White Lines

I started watching this PBS series because this season is the final one. It's actually pretty good.

Have you watched Fleabag? The only reason it isn’t perfect is that it’s too short and thus over too soon.

Highly recommend Starstruck in the rom-com category and Vigil is good in the mystery category (neither has all that many episodes).


The UK version of Ghosts (also a comedy) is pretty good too.

If you want something goofy but funny then Wellington Paranormal is about a couple of cops dealing with paranormal crimes.

Magpie Murders
