It’s definitely a slow character-driven drama. I didn’t know that I would’ve gotten as far as mid season 2 if I hadn’t gotten hooked from the start myself. Hope you enjoy the rest of it.
Look for the original Swedish/Danish version of ‘The Bridge.’ It’s been remade with USA/Mexico and UK/France, but the first is still the best. I usually hate shows with subtitles, but this one kept me going for every season. Body turns up on an international bridge, half on one side and half on the other. Two very different police detectives have to work together to solve the crime.
‘Culprits’ is from the POV of the crooks. After commiting the perfect crime, a now reformed crook is pulled back in when the wealthy victim comes looking for revenge.
Oh my absolute favorite detective. I remember waiting a freaking year when they announced “Midnight sun” to come out as the series finale. Great british TV!
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.
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.
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!
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 😅
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.
