The early seasons of Death in Paradise are funny because the British cop so hates being in the Caribbean. He longs for fog and heavy food and darkness and Fiona Bruce on his telly.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Other series with good senses of place:
Fortitude, starring Stanley Tucci, is a really creepy mystery set in Spitzbergen.
Wallander, with Kenneth Branagh and Tom Hiddleston, in Sweden.
The Tunnel, which is an adaptation of the Danish (and later American) series The Bridge, with the Chunnel standing in for the bridge. The dynamic here is the interplay between the English and French cops.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We're halfway through Bodyguard and enjoying it very much. It tends to keep you on the edge of your seat a lot, though, so be prepared for dramatic tension up the wazoo. Keely Hawes is always good and Richard Madden is surprisingly awesome.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have Procedural Problems: I'm watching last week's The Rookie, and am in the middle of reading an old Michael Connolly book, where they refer to Bosch (out of retirement) as "the oldest boot," and I swear to god, I just thought, "Oh yeah, Castle knows Connolly, right? Maybe that's where they got the idea."
EXCEPT SOME OF THOSE PEOPLE ARE FICTIONAL.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Connally was a member of Castle's poker game.
We're all just figures in Tommy Westphall's snowglobe.

That's why I knew they know each other!

Is The Rookie any good? I haven't watched any episodes.

I like it! It's basically what you'd expect from a Nathan Fillion cop show on ABC, so better than NCIS but not as good as Homicide?
