5 shows to watch on Acorn TV in January 2020 (plus everything arriving)

2. The Brokenwood Mysteries Season 6

The new year brings the sixth season of the New Zealand detective series, The Brokenwood Mysteries. Neill Rea stars as Detect Senior Sergeant Mike Shepherd, in a quiet town of Brokenwood. Like Midsomer Murders and other similar British TV shows, the little town is full of murders for Shepherd to solve.

Episode 1 is titled “The Power of Steam,” and it will see Shepherd and his team head to the world of Victoria dress-up. They need to figure out who is behind the murder at the Steampunk event.

The Brokenwood Mysteries is released weekly, starting on Jan. 6.

1. Murdoch Mysteries Season 13

The great Canadian TV crime drama continues throughout January. Episode 4 kicks off the month, and there’s a new episode each week.

In Episode 4, Crabtree is led to the father he never knew after a death at an investment event. However, Murdoch is sure this father may be the culprit. Expect plenty of drama as Murdoch and Crabtree end up on opposite sides of the murder investigation.

Episodes are released every Monday, starting on Jan. 6.
