Ok, update of my post from about a year or so ago:
I've found a new cable channel that I'm just hooked on...Mhz World View. They show some cool detective shows from Europe...with English subtitles.
Commissario Brunetti (a German language show, set in Venice, Italy, based on a character by American Novelist Donna Leon)
Don Matteo (an Italian priest who help police solve crimes)
Blood Of The Vine (a French enologist...that's "wine maker" to you & me -I had to look up that one
... who solves crimes)
Detective Montalbano (a Sicilian "who dunit")
Maigret (based on a character by Belgian crime writer Georges Simenon)
Van Veeteren (a Swedish "psychological thriller" series)
