To ask for your best crime dramas

[stopitandtidyupp]

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?

I think this thread is a crime drama in and of itself

Following!

Scott and Bailey is brilliant if you can get hold of it.

Happy Valley.

There are some great books called Jackson Brodie, I've just found out that there is a TV show called Cold Cases that is based on the books. If it's as good as the books it will be good.

Agree with:
The Wire
Prime Suspect
Trial & Retribution
True Detective

Also similar to Line of Duty - Between the Lines
Presume you've seen The Fall, Cracker

Sorry it's called Case Histories not Cold Cases

The blacklist

I came on to suggest all sorts of things as I love crime drama but this thread is just bonkers.

Has anyone suggested The Mentalist on Amazon Prime? Love love love it.

I've just finished binging Wire in The Blood on Amazon.

Made 2002-2007, I'm reminiscing about boot cut jeans and Nokia phones though the ages.

Also, Robson Greene. Have fancied him since he was Geordie in Casualty.

If you have amazon prime they are reshowing a load of standalone drama/crime type things called “The Accused” think they were on bbc a few years ago but very good!

Oh, I should probably add - he plays a Clinical Psychologist working with the police to catch serial killers..

Middy Murders. Always.

Cracker
Witnesses
Arne Dahl
All of Spirals, not just series 6
The Accused

The Bridge isn't too bad as long as you can overlook the ludicrous main character acting like Mr. Bean joins the police, as she slaps unconscious victims awake so she can ask her questions and drives on top of the dead body as she arrives at the crime scene.

Nobel - Norwegian
Border town - Finnish
LA Treve - Belgium
When Heroes Fly - Israeli
Bad Blood - Canadian

Get well soon

The Tunnel - Amazing, it was on Sky 1 not sure where you can watch now but superb, several series as I remember

Sharp Objects - Sky Atlantic, dark AF and amazing ending

Luther

There’s a French one which was on BBC and I can’t remem the name, female lead, it was amazing, will try think.

@WhoatemyLindtbunny That's Spiral. Love it and next series is due soon.

Oooh Dammages On All4 with Glenn Close, need to watch last series actually.

Broadchurch is awesome - with Olivia Colman (aka Sarah Sinclair !!)

First version of Prime Suspect with Helen Mirren. None of the subsequent ones though and certainly not the recent 'remake', awful. All Line of Duty, watch them in order. Unforgotten is ok. There's always Luther if you're desperate.

There are 10 series of Spiral if you have Amazon Prime .
Absolutely brilliant
Not sure if Modus is still available -also brilliant

@Letthenamesbegin I've just finished The Accused. So good!

Hidden - from the same people who made Hinterland.

Safe
Mindhunter
Killing Eve
Dexter

Arne Dahl!
Spiral
Morse, Lewis, Endeavour (given my nn kinda had to get that one in)
Also - Rose & Maloney on YouTube. Ignore the slightly trippy pilot episode!
