I am looking for new or old seriel killer drama to watch. My partner thinks I have seen every one going. I don't fancy one with subtitles but have watched some in the past. ( hurts my eyes at the mo) also I prefer ones that are over a few episodes. I dislike super natural dramas. Just watched Equinox and it annoyed me.

Are there any hidden gems I have missed? Off hand I have watched the following?

I have the Pem murders on to record.

I am rewatching Wire in the Blood. I'm really enjoying it and have watched most of the same stuff you have.

The Following?
American series with Kevin Bacon

Viviennemary · 12/01/2021 15:40

Taggert. Repeats now. Some not so good ones and early ones a bit dated but still worth watching.

MrsMiaWallis · 12/01/2021 15:42

Sorry just came to recommend Bosch (I've just started it and its excellent) but see you've seen it.

MrsMiaWallis · 12/01/2021 15:43

The Wire!

skippy67 · 12/01/2021 15:44

Prime Suspect series 1 on Britbox.

Justcashnosweets · 12/01/2021 15:44

Black Spot is really good, but it does have a supernatural thing going on!

skippy67 · 12/01/2021 15:44

The Wire isn't serial killer related. Good though!

Baboutheocelot · 12/01/2021 15:45

Not exactly police drama but have you seen Fargo the tv series?

MrsMariaReynolds · 12/01/2021 15:46

Definitely The Bridge! How did you miss that one? Have you seen the recent The Undoing?

The original Swedish Wallander and The Night Of are great ones too.

Ellapaella · 12/01/2021 15:48

Cracker
Prime suspect
Old but good

EmmaStone · 12/01/2021 15:48

The Wire
The Staircase
And that thing, White Farm murders, was it? White House Farm?

Ellapaella · 12/01/2021 15:49

Not sure of mentioned but Fargo - amazing

dotoallasyouwouldbedoneby · 12/01/2021 15:49

It's lighthearted but some of the corpses are quite grisly...The Brokenwood Mysteries from New Zealand.

dotoallasyouwouldbedoneby · 12/01/2021 15:50

All the Fargo ones are good.

dotoallasyouwouldbedoneby · 12/01/2021 15:53

How could you have overlooked.....'Death in Paradise'....definitely lighthearted.

MrsJBaptiste · 12/01/2021 15:56

Ok, so The Wire...

I was very excited to find it on Sky Atlantic the other night starting S1 E1 but my God, I was so disappointed.

Yes, I've only watched one episode but it must get better? Everyone raves about it!

I think the problem is that I started The Bridge over Christmas (finished series 1) which was great from the beginning. Do I waste time with the Wire or crack on with The Bridge?

LudaMusser187 · 12/01/2021 15:58

The Fall

MrsMiaWallis · 12/01/2021 15:59

I loved the first two seasons of the Wire. It's pretty seminal.

Keep seeing this. May give it a try if its good.

Fargo? I may try that too. I keep seeing that too but for some reading scan past it.

Remember my parents watching Cracker as a kid. May try that too.

Thanks all. I have watched so much is shocking!

Liked the serpent too. Can't believe he got away with it afterwards.
