If you like Death in Paradise, Here's a few others. Stronger on scenery than content, but
Caveats: Mallorca files has only 2 series. Hinterland (2013-2016) is a bit noir, and Brokenwood is the sort of thing that's on in the background and everyone talks over, set in Oz. But BBC & competitors set a high standard, which spoils me. Brokenwood doesn't measure up.

If you like Sci-Fi. There is a new series called Dark Matter on "an apple original".
It is not a creepy alien show, and doesn't have great visual FX. It actually has a plot.

I don't want to ruin it for you. It is about a man who discovers how to move from one multiverse to another, and be himself in that universe. So far it's fairly good.

Here's a few gems that I've enjoyed. First few are English. Write these down.

*New Tricks as in "You can't teach an old dog........" Retired cops are hauled in to work on cold cases. Witty and good.

*Castle A Rich Novelist teams up with a detective. He gets book ideas, she gets cases solved. Lively.

*The Mentalist An ex-showman & psychic teams up with police to solve crimes. Light and watchable.

*The Gentlemen You can't summarise this show. Just watch it. Light hearted & entertaining. Especially funny are the on-screen 'translations' of jargon.

*The Vietnam War 2017. A documentary on Vietnam's struggle for independence, from 1945 to the present. Most interesting is the Vietnamese perspective. It's also a textbook lesson on politicians lying to the American Public. Covers Watergate in passing. It's done at the perfect time; Old guys that remember are alive, but the tensions have died down. Everyone should watch this once. A learning Experience.

*Dopesick On the Oxycontin tragedy/crimes/whatever. It highlights the bribery & corruption, that "Doctor knows best" is pure B.S. People touched by this, or any addiction will cry a river, but that might be therapeutic. A learning experience. You'll never completely trust the FDA or drug companies again.

EDIT: Sorry for repeat recommendations. I've mentioned some but not all before.

The Dr. Blake Mysteries is an excellent Australian series set in the 1950s. It is rather dark, but the writing and acting are excellent.
