Also not DvD, but still feels like I'm delving into a boxset: I've been watching Inspector George Gently. It's been running for a few years, but I've never actually sat and watched one.

They're set in 1960s Northumberland. There's a gentle pace to them that feels a really nice antidote to all the fast car chases and guntoting.
Here's the opening to the pilot:
