>To go a bit on a tangent: I love TV shows where it really is shot where it is set, and the location is a big part of the show.
The Inspector Morse series[0] based on Colin Dexter's[1] novels is shot in and around Oxford, UK and is pretty darn good.
The follow-ons (Lewis[2] and Endeavour[3]) are also pretty good too.
The Inspector Lynley Mysteries[4] is also pretty good and is shot mostly on location, although the protagonist is something of a whiny little bitch. The same can be said for DCI Banks[5].
That said, Vera[6] and Y Gwyll[7] (Hinterland) are both good too, although the police force in Vera is a fictional fictional organization and is shot in various places in the north of England.
