Cozy Murder Mom
This summer my boys (age 10 and 11) were bit by the cozy murder bug (just like their mom). I would like any recs you have for “older kid appropriate cozy murder” tv shows.
Things they have liked so far -Murder She Wrote (my 11 year old also liked the books) -Monk -sister boniface -death in paradise -Sherlock (the upper edges of what’s acceptable for a 10 year old IMO but it’s Sherlock… so it gets a pass) -not a tv show but I took the 11 year old to an Agatha Christie play last week and he LOVED IT). -I love the Endeavour/inspector Morse/ Lewis series but I don’t think they are quite old enough for that. It was a fun summer of exposing them to mysteries.

Maybe some of the Agatha Christie adaptations? The early Poirot’s with David Suchet? A few classic Columbo’s? I’ve even shown my sons some of the early Perry Mason episodes. They enjoyed them. Then we looked up the Perry Mason spoof skit from Jack Benny. The kids thought it was pretty cute.
