There is nothing like an adventure/mystery show to alleviate the blues of the long dark evenings of autumn. Here are a few shows that might do the job.
ART DETECTIVES (1 season, 2025- )
This new series is about a London detective (Stephen Moyer, True Blood) whose two-person unit is assigned to solve “heritage crimes,” which include murders in connection with art heists, antique frauds, or anything that requires knowledge of art. I cannot resist anything with “art” in the title, and I’m glad I watched this show—it has well-constructed, interesting plots and a likeable cast that behaves in believable ways. The crimes are inventive, too: from wine fraud to a daring heist of a Chinese antique from an auction house, to a search for a Walter Sickert painting.
