I saw a promo for a BBC America series called Luther and decided to check it out. Then I noticed several more likely series to watch. Am watching Broadchurch now, there have only been 4 episodes here and they are all still OnDemand on Comcast. Luther and Copper have two whole seasons available.... going to watch them. So far we are really enjoying Broadchurch.
 
Any others I should watch for? (Steve, Jon, Karyn, anyone else?)

Sherlock is very well done, too.  It's an update similar to Elementary on CBS--and probably where CBS got the idea for their show.  I enjoy both shows, but Sherlock has that Brit style that I like a lot.  
 
I've also been watching the shows you mention.  

 
Of the shows you mention Julien, I've only seen a few episodes of Luther and although it's well made and pretty dark, it doesn't really appeal to me that much.
 
I definitely agree with Jan though - Sherlock is very good.

Luther is too dark for my wife too. I like Strike Back on Cinemax but have only seen a few episodes.. it has a bit of an undercurrent that I may not like when it developes... not sure. I really like Homeland on Showtime and Justified on FX. Not much good on right now...

My favorite TV show

I saw one episode of Broadchurch.  While it had its appeal, it's not something I'll likely follow on a regular basis.  I haven't seen Sherlock or Copper, but have seen them advertised as my wife is a recording enthusiast when it comes to Dr. Who and all of those shows are advertised during Who time.

Hi,
 
Haven't had a TV for 6 years!
 
Not sure I missed anything, but even my ability to watch movies has diminished considerably. I can do videos, as I can get up and take a walk if needed, when the right eye starts slowing down, but in general, the discomfort is a hassle for me.

I think the third series of Sherlock will start up on BBC-America in October.  They'll probably re-broadcast the first two series leading up to that.  While it may not be absolutely necessary to see them in sequence, it will be helpful to get the background on how Holmes meets Watson since the series takes place in modern times.

About 6 years of TV, I should imagine
 
 

For me, half of the appeal of watching Broadchurch is in seeing David Tenant play a different role than the 10th Doctor.  Luther is pretty dark.  It's well done and has interesting characters, but it is a little much.  Sherlock was great (I'm still waiting for more).  In my opinion, the BBC Sherlock is better than Elementary.
 
There's some good stuff there.  In addition, a British series (or "season" in the colonies) often lasts for about six episodes.  As an American viewer, watching a series end just as you're beginning to enjoy it is a bit frustrating.    We're used to getting approximately three to four times that number of episodes per year.  Of course, one could argue that the reason British shows seem so well done in comparison to their American counterparts is the fact that they take more time to produce.
 
One could also argue that it has more to do with the number of working brain cells in Hollywood.
