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.
“The killing”
Consider watching the Danish original instead though :)
"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 🙏🏻
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.
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.
How has no one mentioned The Wire. It might be, without exaggerating, the best show ever made, still.
Presumed Innocent is finishing out its first season. Really great so far.
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 Hannibal series maintained my interest throughout, largely carried by Mads Mikkelsen
Plus the visuals and ambience creation were superb IMO. Mads Mikkelsen is such a vesratile actor. I especially liked his Hannibal.
OP: I am babbling all over your post because I am so excited to find interesting shows, movies and people in it. Sorry for the rambling.
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.
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
