Both seasons of Case Histories are now streaming on several platforms. It should be no surprise, as Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes creator Ashley Pharoah is one of the series’ writers. But it’s the storytelling that reels in viewers and keeps them coming back for more. For genre fans in the 2020s, the series is a look back to actors who telegraphed big careers ahead, including Jason Isaacs in the lead role, plus Sherlock and Humans’ Amanda Abbington, and guest stars including Shetland’s Mark Bonnar, Doctor Who returning actress Neve McIntosh, Death on the Nile’s Rose Leslie, and Lodge 49 and The Umbrella Academy’s Adam Godley. I’ve mentioned it from time to time here at borg, but it aired from 2011 to 2013 before we expanded coverage to all genres. ![]() ![]() Based on the Jackson Brodie novels by Kate Atkinson, Case Histories is a fantastic BBC mystery series set in Scotland that should rank high on your list of not only the best mystery and police procedural series, it’s on the of the best TV shows of any genre. ![]()
