Mr. Rose

1967–1968 · 3 seasons

A quiet, talky British crime drama where old secrets surface slowly and menace lurks beneath polite conversation.

Overview: Retirement has given Mr Rose the time not only to cultivate a cottage garden in Eastbourne but also to write his memoirs. And it’s the impending publication of those memoirs that brings a number of figures crawling out of the woodwork and back into his life: criminals and former colleagues alike, who know that his vast personal library of case files holds a wealth of incriminating detail.
How it feels: Tense, melancholic, cynical and earnest. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Crime, memory, deception, betrayal
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
