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?

@MrsJBaptiste

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?

The wire I got to series 3. My oh loves it.

I would try the bridge I liked it.

@dotoallasyouwouldbedoneby

It's lighthearted but some of the corpses are quite grisly...The Brokenwood Mysteries from New Zealand.
Thanks may go back to this. I watched three episodes.

@EmmaStone

The Wire The Staircase And that thing, White Farm murders, was it? White House Farm?
Enjoyed White house farm but sad that it was based in true events.

Another I have just watched was Tin star. Series 3 was the best in my opinion.

I hate in when people say shows do get better over time, but honestly The Wire really does.

Have you watched the one about the Unabomber? Can’t remember what it’s called..

The Sinner?
Whitechapel?

The recent Yorkshire Ripper documentary on Netflix was surprisingly good, focusing much more on the victims than all about him or the detectives.

Coffeandteav · 12/01/2021 16:15

Thanks all. There's a couple to check out there.
After that I think I will have seen them all.Blush

If not mentioned - Rillington Place and The Staircase both on Netflix I believe.

Rillington Place is the Christie serial killer one and the Staircase is American - both true if you like that kind of thing.

Iamblossom · 12/01/2021 16:20

I loved Happy Valley - absolutely brilliant

The Law and Order franchises-an absolute tonne of episodes for you to get through.

Baboutheocelot · 12/01/2021 16:22

One last one, I haven’t seen it but Top of The Lake seemed to get good reviews.

KumquatSalad · 12/01/2021 16:22

Stranger (the K-drama) on Netflix. I really enjoyed it.

pumkinpopsickle · 12/01/2021 16:22

Serpent was really good. Watching DNA at the moment and enjoying it too.

"book marking" isn't a series Grin It's what people do when they want to save a thread to refer back to later!
