I'm currently enjoying a new American TV series called "The Rookie".  Not sure if its on in the UK.

I liked the Rebus series. If you've read the books by Ian Rankin, Ken Stott was made for that part.

My most recent favourites have  been 'Inspector Montalbano' and 'Spiral' (both on Beeb 4), and I'm currently enjoying the rerun on Talking Pictures of the mid60s/mid70s series, 'Public Eye'.

 

PS: I'm a fan of 'Rebus' too.

 We like Montalbano as well, both in his young but most preferably older version.  Like that BBC4 have brought some alternative foreign detectives to our screens such as:

Beck

Wallender (original version). 

 

But I personally prefer the American detective series.  For me it's:

Kojak

Hill Street Blues 

NYPD Blue

Magnum

It has to be Columbo for me. My second choice would be  Law & Order.  I still watch them every week even though I've seen each episode several times.

Hill Street Blues and Cagney & Lacey are great. 

Not too keen on Magnum though, I keep getting distracted by Tom Selleck's body hair that seems to sprout everywhere
