Where is all the good crime drama?!

[Fiveleaves]

Not necessarily of the Nordic variety although that would be great but is there anything like Broadchurch or Luther on the horizon? Even something hammy like Whitechapel or Ripper Street? Pregnant and bored of TV at the moment!

True Detective.
Slow moving, drawn out, stunning cinematography, as much about the characters as the crime, and two stunning performances in the leads.

Line of Duty on BBC2, you should be able to catch up on I Player.

Will check them out - thanks!

Shetland starts again next week. It was on last year on BBC 1 I quite enjoyed that.

Criminal Minds if you've got Sky on Demand. Or Bones. Or The Blacklist. Or Castle(cheesy in parts)

Criminal Minds is gruesome and really watchable. The earlier seasons anyway.

Spiral is an absolutely fantastic French police drama. I think it's on BT Vision and some other On Demand places. Would thoroughly recommend.

Hinterland, was on BBC Wales not long ago, there is a thread about it,you should be able to find it somewhere.

The Following is really fantastic.

Did you watch "the bridge". It was brilliant, top quality

Loved The Bridge. After something of that calibre.

Will look at suggestions. I remember Shetland. That was good.

Thanks! Line of Duty on now!

You've seen The Wire? Would second Spiral too.

Whitechapel is on ITV3 at 10.00 tonight

five. There is nothing else of that calibre!

Good call GoingtoBedforshire! The Wire and Spiral both excellent.

I like Vera. ITV 3 repeat some great crime dramas like Prime Suspect but late at night so I set sky+ .

Just watched the final episode of Series 5 of the Wire at the weekend. Have got that post box set melancholy. Keeping an eye on this thread, although the shelf is already groaning with lots of unwatched stuff.

Does Cracker ever get repeated? Loved that, along with Prime Suspect.

Yes I've seen Cracker on ITV 3 late at night.

Thanks Sandancer, will investigate.

Another vote for Vera. She is the most divinely awesome character.
