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
damn loved true detective will check out mindhunter, thanks
Mr Robot
Narcos
Dahmer
The Last of US
Chernobyl
Snowfall
Peaky Blinders
Ozark
We just finished Snowfall last night. Awesome ending, very fitting.

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.

βThe killingβ
Consider watching the Danish original instead though :)
Seconded, it's superb.
Oh I will look it up for sure! Thanks for the suggestion.
The Bridge, a scandinavian series
Signal, a korean series
Loved The Bridge π
There is also US version that aired on FX. I havenβt seen the original, but I did enjoy this version.
Will have to checkout the Scandinavian version, thanks for the heads up!
man korean series are crazy i love it. i prefer dubbed tho over subtitles
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.

Sopranos
I kinda liked Your Honor.
I liked it, first season best.
i did too they should make more
The Wire, The Sopranos
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.
- Manhunt: Unabomber + Deadly Games
- The Killing
- Ozark
- Halt and Catch Fire
- Rubicon (unfortunately cancelled after season 1)
- Mindhunter
- Dopesick
- Narcos
- Chernobyl

"The Americans" β spy drama about Soviet deep undercover spies living in suburban Washington and their FBI neighbour
"Homeland" β CIA accuses a returned prisoner of war to be turned islamic terrorist
"Berlin Station" β 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 ππ»

How has no one mentioned The Wire. It might be, without exaggerating, the best show ever made, still.

If you're never seen Columbo, you're in for a treat.
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.
Presumed Innocent is finishing out its first season. Really great so far.
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.
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

For true crime, there's a documentary on Netflix about Robert Durst called Jinxed that is a wild ride. Tldw: multimillionaire who got away with multiple murders, but there's a major twist at the end.
