That is not to be critical of non British crime series.
No plot spoilers.
This is a 1990s detective series set in Cornwall ,which is a poor rural area in the South West of England.
The setting is important to the series,the landscape of moors and rocky coastlines are like a character in the episodes.
The plots seem realistic with references to problems with drugs,poverty and holiday homes.
The cast is great,the 3 leads are excellent.
I do wonder what happened to Helen Masters who is just wonderful.
Since Wycliffe was made there have been similar series set in rural Wales.
As a Scot it surprises me that Scottish crime series are never set in the Highlands
If you decide to track down Wycliffe you might find it a bit slow and the smaller parts are not well cast but this was a proper regional production in the days before ITV became a monolith.
