British cosy detective drama with Sally Lindsay that ‘ticks all the boxes’ is now on Netflix

The Madame Blanc Mysteries by Sally Lindsay now has a new streaming platform, as it has just been included on Netflix in the United Kingdom.

The crime drama series set in Britain, broadcasted on Channel 5 and Acorn TV, was penned by duo Lindsay and Sue Vincent. They themselves appear within the show, portraying the characters Jean White and Gloria Beauchamp.

The audience on IMDb has likened the show, Madame Blanc Mysteries, to a blend of “Death in Paradise” and “Murder She Wrote“, with one viewer stating that it checks all the boxes for a cozy mystery. As another user put it, “This charming British whodunnit series is delightful to watch.

The story revolves around Jean, who was once an antiques dealer but later became a detective, whose world is shaken after her husband Rory’s death in a car accident. Having residences in England and France, Jean decides to remain in France following his demise.

Afterward, Jean expresses her sorrow by unraveling various enigmas as she progresses, receiving help from significant community members such as taxi driver Dom Hayes and police officer André Caron.

In the production, our fellow scriptwriter, Vincent, portrays a resident garage owner. The recurring actors in this piece also include Steve Edge, who you might recognize from “Peep Show” and “Benidorm”, Sue Holderness known for her role in “Only Fools and Horses”, Anthony Robinson famed for his work on “Blackadder”, and Alex Gaumond.

This show frequently welcomes special guests, boasting a roster that includes the late Paul O’Grady, known for his portrayal of a quirky antique shop owner. Other well-known figures who have graced our screens include Paul Chuckle (portraying Gloria’s father), Richard Blackwood and Les Dennis.

In addition to The Madame Blanc Mysteries, there’s often a special Christmas episode that airs. This is similar to beloved UK television shows such as Call the Midwife and Death in Paradise, providing viewers with an additional serving of mystery-solving during the holiday season.

By joining Netflix, “The Madame Blanc Mysteries” is poised to capture the attention of a significantly larger audience, as it follows in the footsteps of other recent popular additions like Joanne Froggatt’s ITV crime drama “North Shore”.

Back in early 2025, Lindsay’s suspenseful series “Love Rat” soared up the streaming rankings on Netflix. This four-episode production was initially broadcasted on Channel 5, but made its debut on Netflix in May of that year. It didn’t take much time before it found a place among the UK’s Top 10 TV shows.

The “Madame Blanc Mysteries” series can be streamed now on Netflix in the United Kingdom. Additionally, season 4 is accessible on Channel 5’s online streaming service.
