Things I have watched and loved:

The Fall
Mindhunter
Top of the Lake
Twin
Unbelievable

Things I have tried but couldn't get into:

Ozark
The Stranger
Unabomber
The Sinner (loved the first one with Jessica Biel, but subsequent seasons dragged on).
How to get away with Murder

Can anyone recommend anything particularly thrilling? Series like Normal People and slushy stuff aren't really for me. Nor am I into comedy particularly.
I love thrillers and serial killer type dramas, and am unlikely to deviate from that Blush
Thank you!

Goliath on Amazon prime

BumblePan · 22/06/2020 09:23

@villamariavintrapp ohhh I didn't know it was on Prime. I can't get stuck into anything new at the moment as I can't seem to concentrate. Looking forward to watching the Americans.

Another vote for The Bridge and Happy Valley here. Also Hinterland.

EasternDailyStress · 22/06/2020 20:13

Lost is utter rubbish IMO.

Line of Duty
Life on Mars
Luther
The Bridge
The Killing (Danish version)
Borgen

Hannibal

Vienna Blood

Wisting, iplayer. Snow, cheekbones, Norway, trinity from matrix actress.

Mumteedum · 22/06/2020 21:35

@sandyposy is it worth sticking with it? Seemed to change tack on Ep 5 so couldn't be bothered. It was a bit disappointing for me.

Pigeonfaces · 22/06/2020 21:42

Paatal Lok
Bosch
Trapped
The Bridge - how can you have missed it?
The Killing - I actually prefer the US version
Altered Carbon - more Joel Kinnamon!
The Fall - surely you’ve seen this? Can’t see it mentioned? If not, do!

Another vote for cardinal. His voice grates a bit though.

PolloDePrimavera · 22/06/2020 21:54

I'm also a fan of this genre yet consider myself "normal". I've not seen all of the above but am adding "We hunt together" on Sky, I'm halfway through it. I've got a few episodes left of The Fall but don't want to run out of watching my beloved Jamie.
Ok not exactly like the above but, and I don't normally go for US shows, have you tried You? I really liked it, both series (as we used to say).

PolloDePrimavera · 22/06/2020 21:59

Oh and the Cormoran Strikes are on iPlayer.

FlamingoAndJohn · 22/06/2020 22:00

@Alpacamabags

Forgot my all time favourite! Wire in the Blood
What can I watch that on? I’ve never seen it but I’ve read the books.
Cocolapew · 22/06/2020 22:00

Bosch
Goliath but only the first one
Homeland
Jack Ryan

HowFastIsTooFast · 22/06/2020 22:10

If you haven't seen it before Happy Valley is an oldie but absolutely brilliant, best thing I've watched for years.

Also just worked our way through Luther and DP loves Mindhunter.

@Mumteedum I enjoyed the last five episodes, not as good as the first story but worth watching. Especially if, like me, you can’t get enough of the Norwegian pronunciation of ‘hi’

Babymabel · 23/06/2020 22:15

Have you watched Dark on Netflix? It's German. It's really bloody good if you can cope with subtitles.

Carlottacoffee · 23/06/2020 22:18

Oooh place marking

Dieu · 23/06/2020 22:48

@Pigeonfaces

The Fall is my favourite ever. I was bereft when it finished!

Thanks again everyone.

PolloDePrimavera · 23/06/2020 22:57

@Dieu I'm about to finish series 3 for the second time and am kind of putting it off as I know what happens to my poor, darling future husband. He's just misunderstood 😶.

Dieu · 23/06/2020 23:23

I know, he's a poor lamb really Grin
I believe that he genuinely really loved his daughter.

Dieu · 23/06/2020 23:24

Oh and you asked about You. Yes, I loved the first series, but couldn't really get into the second.

SionnachGlic · 23/06/2020 23:26

Borgen is excellent..
Happy Valley
The Fall
Line of Duty
The Americans
