I grew up as a massive fan of Jonathan Creek. The first three series of the show are unbeatable TV and there has been nothing like it since they were created. The cast, story lines and mysteries in each episode are genius. I would definitely recommend the first 3 series and rate them as 10/10.
Series 4 is similarly good although not quite the same without Caroline Quentin. Perhaps series 4 is a 9/10.
I cannot be as positive about episodes beyond series 4. In some episodes there is practically no mystery or intrigue at all. Jonathan Creek himself is a changed character and has lost all the enigmatic aura that first drawn me to him as the main protagonist. I was shocked at times at how poor some of the most recent episodes were.
So what would have been a 10/10 review has become a 7 due to woeful recent episodes. Such a shame!
score 7/10
