Will this be available in the USA?

LyonME - if you want to watch British crime dramas, you should forget about the very mediocre "Shetland" and track down some of the really good stuff instead... I'd highly recommend "Sherlock" and "Case Histories"... I've never warmed to "Inspector Morse" or "Lewis". But, "A Touch of Frost" had a similar style and was always very watchable... Even the pleasantly average "Scott & Bailey" is better than "Shetland"... "Spiral" (French) and "The Bridge" (Danish / Swedish) are also well worth watching and "Inspector Montalbano" (Italian) is very likeable, if a little lacking in excitement.

I'm sure you have found a way to watch this by now. Sherlock is fabulous, as Badger has pointed out. Case Histories is very good. I've warmed to Inspector Morse, although I never really gave Lewis a try. A Touch of Frost was good. Scott & Bailey? I know nowt. Spiral? I know nowt. The Bridge? We're talking epically good! Montalbano - good also. If you're one of those American/Canadian/other Anglophones who don't mind subtitles (rare, I know) give Il Commissario De Luca a try.

It's on PBS now.

They are currently showing this series onPBS WTTW in Chicago. I am enjoying it.

This is being broadcast on PBS in Cincinnati at present, but I'm enquiring about availability on DVD
