Good crime/ thriller tv

[Elenasdream]

I’m recovering from a stressful time and would like to watch a tv show that’s absorbing so no temptation to reach for phone etc. I like crime drama (Shetland, broadchurch, line of duty) etc and have like foreign shows (loved The Killing, The Bridge, Trapped, Vanished by the Lake etc). I like the subtitles as they mean I have to pay attention! Does anyone have any good recommendations that fit the bill? Scrolling is not really getting me far. TIA :)

Vera? Same writer as Shetland x

Catch Me a Killer on Alibi - dramatisation of a South African criminal profiler.

Professor T on ITV app - just released the third series. Quite quirky characters.

Law and Order Special Victims Unit, I'm addicted to it!

Have you seen The Americans?

It's fabulous, it's seven seasons and has a PROPER ending.

Oh fab thanks so much everyone I don’t think I’ve seen any of these so lots to go at!

If you like subtitles -
Inspector Montalbano

Ice Cold

Lolita Lobosco
Mar De Plastico
I am sure there are more , if only I could remember!

ooh
Murder in Paris ( only just started this , so will see how it pans out)
The Wagner Method - thats a bit quirky

Slow Horses, best thing I’ve seen in years.

Slow Horses on Apple TV….Gary Oldman is fabulous in it.

I enjoyed Foyles War on Acorn TV

Loved Foyles War
Unforgotten ( cold case stuff) was great up to the last series

I’m guessing you’ve watched Happy Valley.
Last Tango in Halifax isn’t quite as hard hitting but written by the same person. It’s packed full of drama.

Ridley? Adrian Dunbar from Line of Duty stars in it.
Unforgotten
The Bay
Annika
Payback

Yes have watched Happy Valley and loved it. Also Inspector Montelbano in my guilty pleasure. Haven’t seen some of the others though so thank you :) adding them to my watch list

Have you seen The Unforgotten? I have loved all of the programmes that you have listed so we obviously have similar taste.. try The Unforgotten if you haven't seen it, you won't regret it! My favourite series ever!

Enjoying Kin, bbc iPlayer, but you have to stick with it.

@RipePeach aw yes thanks have seen them all and loved them, even post Nicola Walker. Sometimes I wish I hadn’t seen some of my favourites so I could have the pleasure of watching them all over again (without knowing the ending!)

Whitstable Pearl? The Gone?

@RipePeach Unforgotten is fabulous. Just watched all 4 series again now it’s on Netflix

Absolutely

River with Nicola walker on ITVx

Astrid: Murder in Paris on More4. French, with subtitles.

I have watched s1 &2 twice and am now starting on s3.

Scott and Bailey. The third series is being shown again on ITV3 tonight about 10pm.

Slow horses.
It's just fabulous

The Killing US version available o Channel 4/All4. I was a big fan of the Danish original, but really enjoying this. On series 3 now and that is very dark much darker than I remember the original ever being.

Have you seen The Young Montalbano , if you loved the original

Netflix have a Harlan Coben section - they can be pretty far fetched but they’re always thrillers with twists. There’s a French one and a Polish one as well as the English language ones.
