To ask for your best crime dramas

In bed with a bad back. Bored and in pain so watching TV for distractions.

I love watching crime dramas. I don't mind stand alone episode stories but prefer watching stories that run over a few episodes. I really don't like anything super natural. Just a story with a mystery.

I feel like I have watched most of them but there must be some I have missed?

Am I unreasonable to ask for suggestions?

I have even watched a lot of European ones.

I mean dramas such as

The killing, The tunnel, Unforgotten, Baptiste and the missing, Cardinal,Guilt, Paranoid, Safe house, Absentia, Happy valley ,Luther, The sinner.

There must be some I have missed?

Spiral 6 if you can get it with the wonderful Thiery Goddard and Top of the Lake

CaptainCabinets · 12/06/2019 20:34

I think Hinterland is a strong contender here Grin

Fortitude is very good. Top of the Lake and The Bridge are also fantastic.

Is Hinterland on Netflix? 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

Any based on Lynda la plante novels. I think one is called above suspicion and there's another I can't think of the name of helpful

Channel 4 catchup World Drama has some good ones, particularly French ones. Try The Frozen Dead and Beside the Lake, amongst others.

Line of Duty - all five series, Prime Suspect, Grantchester, Endeavour, Keeping Faith.

stopitandtidyupp · 12/06/2019 20:38

Thanks all.

I have seen line of duty and Hinterland Grin. Liked top of the lake too.

Not heard of Spiral 6. Will have a look at that. Thanks.

There are some good ones on Channel 4 catchup World Drama, especially French ones, can't remember the titles just now. Beside the Lake is one I think, and The Frozen Dead.

Maigret with Rowan Atkinson as the eponymous hero, set in post war Paris, sadly only four featurelength episodes.
Foyle’s War, with Michael Kitchen. Brilliant. There are several series.

Shetland if you can get it as box sets

Maigret - the one with Rowen Atkinson as lead (drama set in post war Paris), sadly only four featurelength episodes.
Foyle’s War, several series, Michael Kitchen plays the lead. Brilliant.

Bridge is really good.

catzrulz · 12/06/2019 20:40

Killing Eve, but start from Series 1...... or maybe Hinterland 😉
