[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have met my people on this thread. Thank you all for your comments and suggestions many of which I was unfamiliar. Also early forties lawyer. Do not discriminate based on career or age. Will discriminate based on television and book choices. Am feeling warm and fuzzy just from reading all posts. Will be bookmarking thread for future reference. Currently on season 7 of Foyle’s War (tbh I preferred seasons 1-5), but genuinely believe I am in love with DCS Foyle. Dying for Hotel Portofino’s next season. [/quote]

You’ll have to fight me for Christopher Foyle. He is absolutely my dream man. (If I were 20 years younger a young Morse, as in Endeavour, would be my dream man, though I’d have to divorce him before he turned into old Morse, who I didn’t care for). [/quote]

PP from earlier, whose DH is a Foyle fan. I would love to watch TV with you and the "met my people" PP! While you're all distracted by Foyle I'll nip down to (fictional) Devon to solve almost murder-free crimes in picturesque "Beyond Paradise." Which I recommend for the "cozy mystery" crowd. I get worn down by shows with constant murder as the sole crime, and realism palls after a while; this series so far has not been terribly murder-y but has had some clever mysteries. And you do NOT have to have watched "Death in Paradise" (of which it's a spinoff) to pick it up instantly. I didn't like "Death in Paradise" and never watched much of it but I do love "Beyond Paradise." (Britbox)

And yeah, that sensitive, tortured Endeavour is tempting. Seriously though, the final episode of Endeavour gutted DH and me. We just hadn't realized we were as invested in him, and especially Thursday as we were, by the end. Thursday is one of the great characters in British detective/cop TV for us, but never gets talked about much. [/quote]
