New Tricks is a British series about three retired police detective who are rehired to investigate cold cases. They work for Detective Superintendent Sandra Pullman, played perfectly by Amanda Redman, and their cases run from fake pictures in the Queen’s collection to the murder of a celebrity chef by his wife (Honor Blackman), and more.
What separates (and elevates) this series is its combination of great mysteries and characters with a wonderful sense of humor. It also makes cogent statements on racism, feminism, love vs. sex, aging, and other issues.
