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.
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.
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.
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 😅
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.
