Ellery Queen (1975–1976)
8/10
Pleasant "oldie" to watch in the modern world of assisting gadgets

/refers to all episodes/

Post-WWII New York... Novels and radio shows in full force, TV making its first steps, police has cameras and tardy labs to use only... Such is the world where the Queens have to act and solve complex cases. Mindtwisting all over, multiple people with motives, guided by ancient vices (greed, envy, resentment, etc.). Somewhat static characters and trivial reactions by wrongdoers when revealed, but good acting (incl. lots of them becoming famous decades later), realistic environment and witty humor.

I would have avoided the brief overview together with some suspects in the beginning of each episode - for the sake of guessing who is going to be killed.
