PBS MASTERPIECE Mystery! Fall programming. I'm a huge fan of PBS Passport. Donate a minimum of $60 to your local PBS Station, and you will have all the programs (most with all episodes at time of first episode), plus so much more! There are other ways of seeing these programs, but that's my favorite since the $ goes directly to your local station.
I've seen the first two episodes, and they're great--good story, terrific actors, such a great mix of time periods and storyline. Exactly what we've come to expect of this great show, based on Anthony Horowitz's novel. FYI: Magpie Murders is still available on PBS.

Amsterdam—city of bikes, boats, and bodies. At least, that’s the way steely-eyed cop Piet van der Valk sees his murder-infested beat. Marc Warren (Beecham House, The Good Wife) stars as the title character in Van der Valk an all-new, three-part series based on Nicolas Freeling’s legendary crime thrillers.
Co-starring are Maimie McCoy (Wallander) as Van der Valk’s right-hand woman, Lucienne Hassell; Luke Allen-Gale (Dominion) as the scruffy sergeant, Brad de Vries; and Elliot Barnes-Worrell (Jericho) as the squad’s brainy new guy, Job Cloovers.
AMC streamer Acorn TV has unveiled its second original in the space of a week, boarding the crime drama Cannes Confidential. Penned by Midsomer Murders and Van der Valk writer
Chris Murray, the eight-part series is a romantic procedural that blends
comedy, mystery and crime detection with a heart-warming love story —
all against the backdrop of the Cote d’Azur. Deadline first revealed that Murray — who has also written for Acorn series Agatha Raisin — was working on the project through Dramacorp, the Stockholm-based production company founded by Patrick Nebout, part of Jan Mojto’s Beta Film. Maria Ward (Agatha Raisin) is co-writing the series. Acorn Media Enterprises is co-producing.
Acorn is billing Cannes Confidential as the first
English-language procedural drama to be produced and set on the Cote
d’Azur since the 1970s action-adventure comedy The Persuaders, starring Roger Moore and Tony Curtis. Production will begin in Cannes in early 2021. “With its engaging, blue sky script and beautiful setting, Cannes Confidential
is the kind of program the world could use right now and is sure to
entertain Acorn TV subscribers worldwide,” said Catherine Mackin,
managing director of Acorn Media Enterprises. Dramacorp COO Nebout added: “Chris Murray has a genius for creating
deeply loved and witty characters and stories that run and run. The
setting of Cannes Confidential is upbeat, colourful and
spectacular, the wittiness is there, yet Chris and Maria are developing
multi-layered main characters and strong emotional arcs, taking the
procedural genre into a more elevated and romantic direction.” Nebout executive produces alongside Henrik Jansson-Schweizer. The
series will premiere on Acorn TV in North America, New Zealand,
Australia, and the UK next year.
