Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Dalgliesh Season 5 is worth clearing space for. Dalgliesh Season 5 treats its mystery as a means, not an end in itself. Sir Paul Berowne - a prominent Government Minister - turns to his old friend Adam Dalgleish following a series of threatening letters delivered to his London home. The minister's wife is in an adulterous affair with a prominent surgeon and she makes no secret of it. Berowne's only daughter is involved in left-wing politics and rejects her conservative father. Roy Marsden leads a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 1988. What makes Dalgliesh Season 5 hold up is that the resolution matters less than how the characters get there. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Crime and mystery fans will find exactly what they are after in Dalgliesh Season 5. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. Roy Marsden carries scenes that would sink a lesser production. The resolution feels inevitable rather than arbitrary, which is rarer than it sounds.
