Sorry, my comment was confusing. I didn't mean there was a US version
of The Tunnel, just that most shows that remake themselves for the
North American market tend to set themselves somewhere in the USA.

Sister Boniface Mysteries listed, older ones though.

Sister Boniface was only made for 4 seasons but Father Brown is
into season 13 for 2026 so it is still going..
