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?

Also got the spelling corrected who knows why I typed it like that in the title. Too much tele Grin

Thank you for the recommendations everyone, am also working on a list

One episode in to Lupin. An art gallery heist. Enjoying it so far! It's only on netflix a few days!

WiseOwlRelaxing · 15/01/2021 11:25

Well, Lupin is excellent, the first five episodes were clever, fast-paced, really enjoyable, a bit cat and mouse....... But there is NO episode six. It literally finishes on a massive cliffhanger and when you google it, it says no confirmed release date for episode six. Why the hell do they put it up on netflix when the last episode isn't ready!

NancyDrew1966 · 15/01/2021 13:01

Got a feeling red riding is on britbox.

Montsti · 15/01/2021 13:51

Killing Eve

Labobo · 15/01/2021 18:11

@WiseOwlRelaxing - glad to find another Lupin fan. Watched the first episode last night. DH was a bit 'meh, seen this all before' but I loved it. Looking forward to the rest.

WiseOwlRelaxing · 15/01/2021 18:13

I hope they dont take too long! ⏳ It's torture when you are about to click on next episode and there is no next episode 😯😯

The mess we leave behind interesting how the school system works in small communities.

Looking for willed to kill and the decieved.

ImaginaryFriends · 07/02/2021 15:07

Mystery Road series 1 & 2 available on iplayer.

It's an Australian police drama a bit different than the usual.

ChristMyArse · 07/02/2021 15:21

Waking the dead is also on iplayer. Not sure if it's been mentioned but cba reading the thread again!

I'm still making my way through previous recommendations 😁

Hels20 · 07/02/2021 16:54

I would have never tried Mindhunter but for this thread. I also persevered with The Serpent which I took about 3 episodes to get into (thought Jenna Coleman was great but struggled with the lead man - he hardly said anything!!)

I loved Mindhunter - amazing.

Am now going to try Lupin and possibly Kiri as I gave that a Miss first time round...
