Presumed Innocent is finishing out its first season. Really great so far.
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.
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
Dude Rectify started slow but seems like mid season 2 might start to be picking up 👌🏻 thanks again that was one I’d never heard of.
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.
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.
ALIAS. “She’s a grad student! She’s a spy! She’s a grad student! She’s a spy!”
The Bridge, a scandinavian series
Signal, a korean series
man korean series are crazy i love it. i prefer dubbed tho over subtitles
Loved The Bridge 👍
There is also US version that aired on FX. I haven’t seen the original, but I did enjoy this version.
Will have to checkout the Scandinavian version, thanks for the heads up!
Dark was amazing. True detective s1 o f course.
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 😅
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!
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!

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.
Legion is news to me - will add it to the list. Thought silo started well, but got boring and misandrist. Severence was great - i hear there is a second season coming.
Raised by Wolves I quite enjoyed. And s1 Altered Carbon.
Silo ending was actually pretty good…but don’t know where we are heading from here.
Legion is the greatest thing you need it in your life lol. I’ve watched the entire thing multiple times. Also I don’t like children type fantasy movies/shows chalked up as “science fiction” cough marvel . I like the good old mind bender sci-fi (adult friendly)…so keep that in mind with my recommendation;)
Yeah agreed. The distance between marvel and 12 monkeys is like the space between Johnny Cash and Billy Ray Cyrus
Sopranos
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!
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.
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 killing”
Consider watching the Danish original instead though :)
Oh I will look it up for sure! Thanks for the suggestion.
Seconded, it’s superb.
If you’re never seen Columbo, you’re in for a treat.
Mr Robot
Narcos
Dahmer
The Last of US
Chernobyl
Snowfall
Peaky Blinders
Ozark
dang , i’ve seen them all except the last of us
Try Last of Us. It’s very atmospheric and well written.
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.
Good taste then 😉
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
Time to binge-watch!
Yeah I loved the ending. A similar brilliant ending with Mr Robot too.
Criminal Minds
It’s old but Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy is great.
Fortitude Session 1 is great. Season 1 is also self contained and the mystery is solved. Season 2 was a new mystery and kind of meh.
