Mindhunter, True Detective season one
damn loved true detective will check out mindhunter, thanks
Mindhunter is the same calibre, sad we didn’t get more seasons
IKR?! I read the book some time ago and I was like, man this part here would have made such a great episode.
The first four are remakes, but they’re done very well.
Tokyo Vice
Shogun (not exactly a crime thriller but it will suck you in)
Ripley (shot like a black and white film from the 40’s, good even if you’ve seen the Matt Damon movie)
Perry Mason
Yellowjackets
Altered Carbon
Big Little Lies
Nine Perfect Strangers
Dark Winds
If you like crime comedy, try White Lotus, Dead to Me, Search Party, Only Murders in the Building, Flight Attendant, and The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window.
your a savior… my girlfriend will like the crime comedy ones so thanks for those!
- Manhunt: Unabomber + Deadly Games
- The Killing
- Ozark
- Halt and Catch Fire
- Rubicon (unfortunately cancelled after season 1)
- Mindhunter
- Dopesick
- Narcos
- Chernobyl
That Unabomber series was such a touching piece for me. I don’t want to spoil anyone’s fun, but it made feel vey sentimental how his vulnerable side was presented.
My time to shine has come!
“The killing” with Joel Kinnaman and Meirelle Enos. Two detectives try to solve a murder case.
“The fall” with Jamie Dornan and Gillian Anderson. A father with a dark and unsettling history.
“Mare of Easttown” with Kate Winslet and Evan Peters. Local detective invetigates a complicated case.
“Inside man” with Stanley Tucci. A detective gets help from an unexpected person.
Sorry for the crappy overviews.
Those are some of my favorites and I have watched them more than once.
“The killing”
Consider watching the Danish original instead though :)
Seconded, it’s superb.
you’ve always shined my friend!
Dude, this looks like exactly what I was looking for as I’ve never watched any of these and that is rare. Thank you even included a high level plot overview as well, lemmy can’t be matched!
You are in for a treat!
I am glad I could share something interesting with you.
As a fan of all those shows (except the last which I haven’t seen yet, thanks for the tip!) this guy nails it. Those are all great picks! I will add I really liked season 1 of ‘The Sinner’ was excellent. I can’t say I loved the rest of the series as much as season 1.
Better call saul
Others have recommended several of my suggestions but here are ones that haven’t been mentioned (in order of my own preference):
CRIME:
Bosch
Line of Duty
Bloodline
Longmire
The Killing
DRAMA:
Rectify
man, bloodline was so good wish they made more of that one! appreciate it!
Bloodline drove home for me the fact that Florida is a very sweaty place.
The Wire, The Sopranos
The Bridge, a scandinavian series
Signal, a korean series
Loved The Bridge 👍
“The Americans” — spy drama about Soviet deep undercover spies living in suburban Washington and their FBI neighbour
“Homeland” — CIA accuses a returned prisoner of war to be turned islamic terrorist
“Berlin Station” — CIA station in Berlin faces repeating leaks. First season starts off boring but picks up speed fast
Damn…the Americans… I remember that was on FX I think. That’s one I’ve slept on and need to binge asap! Thanks 🙏🏻

Yes AppleTV is honestly killing the game right now, SILO, Severance, Dark Matter, Foundation and many more coming all wicked scifi stuff too that you can’t find anywhere else.
Have you seen Legion (2016) the tv show? It is by far my #1 sci-fi series ever and it was way ahead of it’s time, by the same guy who did Fargo by Noah Hawley i believe.
Mr Robot
Narcos
Dahmer
The Last of US
Chernobyl
Snowfall
Peaky Blinders
Ozark
dang , i’ve seen them all except the last of us
Good taste then 😉
Def watch the first season of Westeorld if you haven’t. The rest I can’t speak on, the first couple eps of s02 made zero sense and I totally lost interest. The first season can stand alone as a self-contained piece, though.
We just finished Snowfall last night. Awesome ending, very fitting.
yes i don’t think i have finished it so I better do that, i guess that means its over to
I’ll add a pretty good classic that I haven’t seen mentioned yet: The Mentalist
Excelent performance by Simon Baker, of course, as well as from the supporting cast. First seasons are really good, with some great finales. Quality drops a bit past season 4/5 imo, but it’s still enjoyable.
The Night Of
Fantastic Limited Series, left me wanting more.
I was pretty happy with the length honestly. In general I think almost all series are too long. A nice ending is an underappreciated thing these days it seems.
I kinda liked Your Honor.
Movies based on Stieg Larssons books.
Spot on! Very dark and dramatic, I remember reading the Millenium series when it first came out and then went to the theater to watch The girl with the dragon tattoo, the original european version with Noomi Rapace as Lisbeth Salander. What a great actress!
