A list by sufferwithme
House
This series, where we watch the operations of a brilliant doctor, is a series Sherlock fans will love, even if not exactly. In the series created by David Shore, Hugh Laurie plays Dr. Gregory House, who doesn't follow the rules but is a genius at diagnosis. Each episode constructs a difficult-to-solve medical case like a detective story. The character was inspired by Sherlock Holmes; the series lasted eight seasons.
Poirot
This 1989–2013 series, which tells the cases of the eccentric but brilliant Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, is the right address for those looking for a Sherlock-like series. It is almost completely unknown in Turkey. In the series, which adapts almost all of Agatha Christie's Poirot novels and stories, David Suchet played Hercule Poirot for twenty-five years. Most of the series is set in 1930s England.
Luther
One of the best British series, alongside series like Sherlock and Black Mirror. Idris Elba, whom we know from The Wire, won a Golden Globe for his role as Luther. It is a good detective series. In the series created by Neil Cross, Idris Elba plays detective John Luther, who works in London by getting into the minds of killers and frequently breaks the rules.
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
This series, which some say is better than the 2010 Sherlock series, is a little-known Sherlock production. It is a very good series. In the series launched by Granada Television in 1984, Jeremy Brett delivered a performance that many viewers consider the most faithful interpretation of Sherlock Holmes. The series stays true to Arthur Conan Doyle's stories and Victorian London.
The Return of Sherlock Holmes
This is also a little-known, good Sherlock series. It is the continuation of Granada's Sherlock Holmes series, and Holmes is again played by Jeremy Brett. In this part, Watson is played by Edward Hardwicke instead of David Burke. It adapts the stories beginning with Holmes's return to London after the Reichenbach Falls.
Foyle's War
A British detective and mystery series that started in 2002 and ended in 2015, with 28 episodes in total. Set during World War II, this series is almost completely unknown in Turkey. In the series created by Anthony Horowitz, Michael Kitchen plays Chief Superintendent Christopher Foyle, who investigates crimes ranging from the black market to espionage in Hastings during the war years. In the shadow of war, it deals with profiteering, favoritism, and espionage with a detective's honesty.
Endeavour
