Recommendations for Detective/police new obsession

[UniqueSiren]

I've had an operation and I need something to get excited about.

I'm on my own so nothing too scary (eg Luther etc) but something properly gripping like No Offence, Scott and Bailey or Line of Duty.

I have all the TV btw

The Tunnel

Do you mind subtitles? The Killing or The Bridge are amazing if you don't mind the subs

Save Me. Not really from the police point of view though, more the family and friends.

The Fall is great too. On Amazon Prime.

I said not scary IWantMyHatBack Everything you suggested I have seen luckily - they all shit me up. The last one disturbed me because I've never fancied a serial killer so much in my life...

Ah yes, another with the wonderful Suranne - I'll watch Save Me with the DH

The Tunnel with Stanis Baratheon it is then - thank you

I've never seen Spiral but keep reading that it's brilliant.

Spiral is brilliant but can be gory. If you fancy something non present day, try Babylon Berlin on Sky catch-up. Set in Berlin in 1929, a detective series in prewar Germany.

I love The Mentalist, and Elementary with Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu as Holmes and Watson is fantastic.

Bosch on Amazon?

The Night Of is great, 8 part drama, I binge watched it in about a day.

Not Dexter unless you are hard of constitution.

Babylon Berlin is wonderful, IMO, but quite violent if not grisly in places.

Oh, I didn't consider them to be scary, sorry.

I suppose The Fall is pretty sinister though, isn't it

I'm too desensitised from watching the likes of Dexter and Sons of Anarchy

Btw The Tunnel is the UK version of The Bridge.

Spiral is amazing but as other people have pointed out is very graphic. Absolutely gripping though. Not sure if you are aware it is French so subtitled.

I agree Michaelbendfaster there was one episode towards the end of the second series of Babylon Berlin that I found really hard to watch. I have a thing now for Volker Bruch though so I'm prepared to put up with it.

Hope you are recovering well OP

I have a thing now for Volker Bruch though

Oh, me too! He's so handsome, in that really old-fashioned man-in-a-good-suit way.

"The Sinner" with Jessica Biel was great - binge watched it in one day (think it's Netflix?)
More votes for "Save Me" and "The Tunnel" - they're great!

Also... It's a bit weirdy, but I really liked "The Glitch" - it's an Aussie show about a random selection of people over a 250 year period who just come back to life one night. It's good!

Tin Star on Sky was also good, but VERY dark. A bit too depressing for me I think.

Watch Generation War, a series about five friends at the beginning of the Second World War in Germany. He's in that too.

Fargo (TV series not Frances Oscar lady movie) only 1&2 though 3 was awful (just been reminded by a thread!)

And Fortitude. Something a bit different.
