      Matthew Mcconaughey and Woody Harrelson were great in it! The last season with Jodie Foster was good too IMO, but the rest was just blah.

      I quite enjoyed season 4 of True Detective as well. If you don’t compare it to the lightning in a bottle that was Season 1, anyway

        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.

    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.

      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!

        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.

          The sinner season 1 was great! Jessica Biel surprised me with her character but it’s the little sister that does it for me. Have you watched “Sharp objects” with Amy Adams? I love how gritty and sordid it is. Kinda slow at first butvthen it picks up quickly for a riveting ending.

    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.

      yes Dark was amazing. I love time travelling shows dark was def the tops of having an realistic edge to it.

      Also liked, Dark matter (2024), Travellers, 21 Monkeys are a few travelling series i can recall that are worth a watch

        Dark matter looks great - cheers. 12 monkeys I loved, maybe worth a watch again sometime. I’ve had to resort to comics and books to get my sci fi fix 😅

      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.

        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.

    “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

      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!
