Is there anything good? Reasons why and how similar it is to Murder She Wrote.

Midsomer Murders maybe?

Too British.

Like the anon first mentioned above, Columbo. From the same era of television, and plays the detective thing straight rather than being a cozy mystery or an amateur detective, but watching Columbo’s obfuscating stupidity in action is just so great.

That coat is iconic.

I love Monk. And I've only watched a few episodes of Brokenwood Mysteries, but I enjoyed.

And not new, but I absolutely love the version of Poirot with David Suchet. Just an amazing show.

They changed Sharona in Monk. I'm still sad about that.

I am really enjoying Elspeth, though it's a lot more like quirky lady Columbo than Murder She Wrote, imo.

+1 came here to say Elspeth!

I really hate lawers unfortunately.

Broadchurch was really good. Solid writing, and truly stellar performances from Tennant and Coleridge. Not episodic, though, so maybe not the kind of thing you're looking for.

I remember liking the episodes of Wallander I saw, but it's been a really long time since I saw them. The show had that whole lowkey, melancholic Swedish thing going on.

I also remember really enjoying the original Murdoch Mysteries series. The one with David Outerbridge as Murdoch and Keeley Hawes as the coroner. It was just three 90 minute episodes though, so IDK if it counts as a show, exactly.

I don't think I've seen Murder She Wrote. If I have, I was like seven at the time.

The first two series are really depressing and slow. Scandinavian detective style.

CSI up till Warrick died and the New York one.
Sherlock Holmes, especially the original ACD books and Jeremy Brett but NOT Brandysnap Cunnilingus.

How disrespectful. Not surprising from a CSI fan.

Poker face?
It's short but was made in the style of classical American detective shows. It's pretty fun

Looks interesting.

I have only dim memories of Murder She Wrote but figured it's got to be inspired by Miss Marple, so maybe start there? I don't know, because I'm not really a big Agatha Christie fan. TV adaptations are okay, the books are kind of meh to me.

Another vote for Pokerface, which has nice Columbo vibes.

Both have old ladies as a protagonist... I don't remember if I watched Miss Marple.

I mean, S1 of True Detective was phenomenal. But I suspect that's not really the kind of detective show you're looking for.

Depressing but I heard that the fandom is nice.

+1000

Sublimely good. I watched it for the first time recently, wondering if it would turn out to be overhyped, but no, no, it really was just that good.

I can't compare it to Murder She Wrote, but Poirot maintained a high level of quality throughout (I haven't seen all of them but every one I saw I liked a lot).

I have Suchet's authograph. He's nice irl.

The Poirot series (or series of movies?) with David Suchet.

Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries.

Cold Case also still hits me in the feelings.

Of those, Poirot probably feels closest to Murder She Wrote but Miss Fisher gives you a female detective.

Did you seriously come down here and ask us for recs simply to spew weak hot takes and waste everyone's time? Congrats on...*checks notes*...having your own personal taste.
