It's an older series and has John Nettles as the title character. Bergerac ran from 1981 to 1991 and is set on Jersey.

Alcoholic and divorced father of a young daughter, DS Jim Bergerac is a true maverick who prefers doing things his own way, and consequently doesn't always carry out his investigations the way his boss would like.

According to this page, Britbox only has seasons 1-3, 5-9.

We love the slower pace and the dry humor, plus the lovely British scenery.

Midsumer murders compelled me to go to the uk and see for myself. Now, 25 years later, i use every prolonged weekend to hop over and truly enjoy those gardens, the countryside and the people. It's even more wow in real life

During an interview. They're not that great detectives as they have several murders in one episode 🤣

It counts in my top 3 of the series we've enjoyed.

My all-time fave is Doc Martin. Then Midsomer and after that, Breaking Bad.

I've been thinking about watching it again, too. It's the gardens and scenery that I so enjoy, but also the main character.

Thanks for the tip upthread about Bergerac!
