If you want a crime drama that treats its mystery as more than a puzzle, Diagnosis: Murder is available in the US on Philo right now. Every one of its 8 seasons holds up. With 120 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Dick Van Dyke's performance alone is worth the time investment. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Philo.

Diagnosis: Murder is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. The plotting gives Diagnosis: Murder its backbone, but it is the characters you come back for. Dr. Mark Sloan is a good-natured, offbeat physician who is called upon to solve murders. Dick Van Dyke and Victoria Rowell lead a cast that gives the tension real weight. It ran for 8 seasons (1993–2001), and the writing holds up across every one of them. What makes Diagnosis: Murder 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.

Viewers who think they have seen every crime drama tend to find Diagnosis: Murder proves them wrong. The Five is the obvious comparison, but Diagnosis: Murder earns its own place alongside it. 8 seasons in, there is no shortage of material once you get started. Dick Van Dyke's performance is the kind that shows up on best-of lists years later. If you have been looking for something to fill the gap left by a recently finished story, this is a reliable answer.
