Please can anyone recommend any 3 to 5 part drama/psychological thriller type series?

[ABoyCalledBasil]

Any main channel, Netflix or Prime please?

I'm thinking of the sort of thing that is usually 3 to 4 parts and shown over consecutive nights.Channel 5 do a lot of these things - usually set in super smart houses the character couldn't afford. Sometimes they are longer but normally less than 5 episodes

i've seen lots but am sure there must be ones I haven't seen.

Stuff like these (which I have seen as samples):

Finding Alice (ITV husband falls down bannisterless stairs of dream home he designed) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11127412/

The Catch (Ch 5) (seemingly perfect new bf of daughter freaks out her fisherman father) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11127412/

The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window (Netflix) woman believes she sees murder in house opposite, parody thriller https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13315324/

The Stranger (Netflix, Harlan Coben) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stranger_(British_TV_series)

I’ve just enjoyed Malpractice on ITV

Guilt is a good short clever drama series, there’s a new series on iPlayer now and there are two previous seasons as well.

Oh I'd seen Malpractice advertised but thought it was the start of a full longer series so hadn't looked at it. thought it was like that one with the doctor back from maternity leave.

@Meandyouandyouandme I'll have a look but I want to avoid getting drawn into a longer series - I'm after a shorter affair!

The series are only 4 episodes long though, so you could just watch the first one.

Liked The Girl Before, The Secrets She Keeps and Chloe on BBC i player. Behind her Eyes on Netflix.

I thought 'Fearless' (ITVX), was marvellous but it has 6 episodes.

Obsession on Netflix. Four parts, unpredictable, well acted and gripping.

I'm currently watching Pine Gap set in Alice Springs a US/Australian intelligence base.

And Rough Diamonds - that's in Flemish, Yiddish, French and English.

Going to second Behind Her Eyes

I've seen all of these! I told you I'd seen a lot.

I thought Chloe was absolutely brilliant. One of the best of this genre and beautifully structured. Highly recommend to anyone reading this thread. This is exactly the sort of thing I'm looking for!

I wasn't super keen on Behind Her Eyes tbh. I've read the book and althought it wasn't a bad adaptation, the book was better I felt.

@LBFseBrom
I think I've seen Fearless but not sure if I'm confusing it with another Helen McCrory one? I need to watch a bit of it to tell

@MaMisled Obsession on Netflix.

This looks ideal!!! Thank you. Is this the one that is a remake of Damage the Jeremy Irons film? I'd heard about it but hadn't realised it was released yet.

@sashh I'll look up both Pine Gap and Rough Diamonds.

I thought there were more Ch 5 ones that I'd missed as they seemed to have a phase of them although maybe I've seen them all as I do keep an eye out for this type of thing.

I've just watched The Nurse on Netflix - 4 parts based on a true story (Danish with subtitles) which might fit the bill for you (drama / thriller based on a nurse who killed patients)

@iwantavuvezela

yes I saw that but I wasn't keen as it seemed a bit too likely to be Beverly Allitt depressing and sort of documentary unpleasant.

I'd also watched the first series of The Servant on Apple TV (mini-spoiler coming up (but early on this is revealed): couple with deceased child are using a therapy doll for the wife as therapy and hire a nanny) and the look of it was giving me similar vibes.

Is it depressing as opposed to interesting thriller?

Another vote for malpractice

Blackbird on Apple TV was flawless. Worth taking out a free 7 day trial for it because it’s utterly superb

I think if you tried Britbox you'd be very happy: Apple Tree Yard, Hollington Drive, Doctor Foster, Guilt, Safe House, No Return, Too Close, Flesh and Blood (this one I enjoyed with Francesca Annis and Imelda Staunton), etc, etc

Great question op.

Following!

No idea how that gif got added!!!

@CrossPurposes Fortunatly, I've seen alot of those when first broadcast like ATY, Hollington Drive, Too Close. Couldn't get in to Dr Foster.

I'm against subscribing to BritBox on principle. I already pay for a TV licence and I think it's appalling that BBC content that has been largely funded by a tv licence is now on a subscription only platform. I know its not just BBC but the principle of the BBC involvement turns me off it. Signed Outraged of Tunbridge Wells.

I missed last week's and haven't had time to catch up, shall I give up tonight or is anyone able to kindly give me a quick recap please?

A bit grittier than you list OP but if you haven't seen Blue Lights one of the best series (excluding Happy Valley of course) that the BBC has shown recently.

I would also recommend Malpractice which overlpas hospital drama with thriller / crime.

On the lighter side but with some violence you can watch for free via UKTV is Operation Buffalo https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/telly_addicts/4790562-operation-buffalo-australian-political-thriller-free-to-watch-on-uktv

Also showing at the moment 2nd series of Dalgliesh on C5 so should be able to watch via My5.

Angela Black was good
