You can also get your cumberbatch fix with Sherlock. It starts as solid mystery but beware it gets kind of odd by the final episodes.

NP. I think you and I, PP, are the only two people who watched "The Good Cop"! To the OP, "The Good Cop" was made by the same creator who made "Monk" so you might find some similarities there that you like. I enjoyed it well enough. Not super special but I liked Josh Groban and Tony Danza together as son and father. And yes, you did read that last sentence correctly and are not having a strange TV-themed fever dream.

I would also second the suggeston of "White Collar" from above. Pretty people, a super cleaned-up fantasy Manhattan. Diverting.

Agree with the PP that if you want detective but no gore or violence, maybe try British period piece detective shows. Modern British detective shows tend toward the grim (we watch a lot of British TV!). You might like the David Suchet "Poirot" (start with the early ones, the last series is quite dark though not gory), or if you're willing to try Kiwi TV, try "Brokenwood Mysteries."

If you don’t mind a little sci-if mixed in with your detective work, Eureka or Warehouse 13 might work. But maybe too goofy for you.

The Mentalist is much scarier than Monk or Pushing Daisies!

Have you tried Grimm, maybe? I like Death in Paradise a lot - it's pretty goofy (and has some problematic cultural and gender issues) but I really enjoy it all the same.

Pushing Daisies was so fun! That is all.

Go find old episodes of Moonlighting.

You might also enjoy Veronica Mars.

Any suggestions? Pysch is ok but too silly.

Detective is good but no gore, violence, etc. That’s why PD and monk were so good.
