Free on British TV
BBC iPlayer carries the BBC crime dramas, including Line of Duty and Happy Valley. ITVX has the long ITV series such as Vera, Grace and Unforgotten. Channel 4 adds its own dramas, often for a shorter run than the others.
Paid services
Netflix has Top Boy and a wide set of international crime series. Prime Video has its own, including Bosch and Reacher. NOW picks up many recent crime dramas after they leave the free apps, and BritBox, included with ITVX Premium, keeps the older British detective series.
One series or a whole line-up
Check the free apps before paying. A month of a paid service is worth it when several seasons sit on that service and nowhere else.
