Ideas for Saturday night viewing - crime drama perhaps?

Ideas welcome. I like crime drama, preferably not true crime although I have enjoyed sensitively done dramatisations such as The investigation. I have all terrestrial channels on catch up and Netflix and Now TV. Have recently enjoyed Spiral and love scandi noir. I also enjoyed the The Drowning recently and the slightly mad drama with Keeley Hawes, forgotten the name....any suggestions welcome! Love the Discovery of Witches too but have watched them all.

I'm looking forward to watching The Little Stranger this evening. 9pm on C4 I think. I loved the book so have high expectations.

I’m literally watching this right now ha. The OP didn’t want true crime though.

OP how about The Stranger on Netflix. Or Happy Valley also Netflix (was on BBC when on I think).

Notonthestairs · 13/02/2021 20:12

Happy Valley & Line of Duty

Notonthestairs · 13/02/2021 20:13

Oh sorry just spotted you've seen LOD!

crazylikechocolate · 13/02/2021 20:18

Not sure if it's on Netflix but Foyles war is excellent , not so much a war story but crime / detective series set in ww2

Looks like it starts 22nd Feb. If you haven’t seen Happy Valley I’d recommend that.

Dare I recommend... old reruns of Vera?? Grin

crazylikechocolate · 13/02/2021 20:36

Vera
Shetland

Xmasbaby11 · 13/02/2021 20:40

I have the same taste as you op and feel like we've watched / tried everything!

We are watching

Vera (old)
Arctic Murders
Waking the Dead (old)

I haven't seen all the repeats the first time around so can usually find episodes that are new to me!

I also loved Trial and Retribution and Wire in the Blood, but I've seen them all now.
