Presumed Innocent is finishing out its first season. Really great so far.
The Night Of
Fantastic Limited Series, left me wanting more.
I was pretty happy with the length honestly. In general I think almost all series are too long. A nice ending is an underappreciated thing these days it seems.
ALIAS. “She’s a grad student! She’s a spy! She’s a grad student! She’s a spy!”
Others have recommended several of my suggestions but here are ones that haven’t been mentioned (in order of my own preference):
CRIME:
Bosch
Line of Duty
Bloodline
Longmire
The Killing
DRAMA:
Rectify
Dude Rectify started slow but seems like mid season 2 might start to be picking up 👌🏻 thanks again that was one I’d never heard of.
It’s definitely a slow character-driven drama. I didn’t know that I would’ve gotten as far as mid season 2 if I hadn’t gotten hooked from the start myself. Hope you enjoy the rest of it.
man, bloodline was so good wish they made more of that one! appreciate it!
Bloodline drove home for me the fact that Florida is a very sweaty place.
The first four are remakes, but they’re done very well.
Tokyo Vice
Shogun (not exactly a crime thriller but it will suck you in)
Ripley (shot like a black and white film from the 40’s, good even if you’ve seen the Matt Damon movie)
Perry Mason
Yellowjackets
Altered Carbon
Big Little Lies
Nine Perfect Strangers
Dark Winds
If you like crime comedy, try White Lotus, Dead to Me, Search Party, Only Murders in the Building, Flight Attendant, and The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window.
your a savior… my girlfriend will like the crime comedy ones so thanks for those!
Dark was amazing. True detective s1 o f course.
yes Dark was amazing. I love time travelling shows dark was def the tops of having an realistic edge to it.
Also liked, Dark matter (2024), Travellers, 21 Monkeys are a few travelling series i can recall that are worth a watch
Dark matter looks great - cheers. 12 monkeys I loved, maybe worth a watch again sometime. I’ve had to resort to comics and books to get my sci fi fix 😅
Movies based on Stieg Larssons books.
Spot on! Very dark and dramatic, I remember reading the Millenium series when it first came out and then went to the theater to watch The girl with the dragon tattoo, the original european version with Noomi Rapace as Lisbeth Salander. What a great actress!
The Bridge, a scandinavian series
Signal, a korean series
man korean series are crazy i love it. i prefer dubbed tho over subtitles
Loved The Bridge 👍
There is also US version that aired on FX. I haven’t seen the original, but I did enjoy this version.
Will have to checkout the Scandinavian version, thanks for the heads up!
Sopranos
Mr Robot
Narcos
Dahmer
The Last of US
Chernobyl
Snowfall
Peaky Blinders
Ozark
dang , i’ve seen them all except the last of us
Def watch the first season of Westeorld if you haven’t. The rest I can’t speak on, the first couple eps of s02 made zero sense and I totally lost interest. The first season can stand alone as a self-contained piece, though.
Try Last of Us. It’s very atmospheric and well written.
Good taste then 😉
We just finished Snowfall last night. Awesome ending, very fitting.
yes i don’t think i have finished it so I better do that, i guess that means its over to
Time to binge-watch!
Yeah I loved the ending. A similar brilliant ending with Mr Robot too.
“The Americans” — spy drama about Soviet deep undercover spies living in suburban Washington and their FBI neighbour
“Homeland” — CIA accuses a returned prisoner of war to be turned islamic terrorist
“Berlin Station” — CIA station in Berlin faces repeating leaks. First season starts off boring but picks up speed fast
Damn…the Americans… I remember that was on FX I think. That’s one I’ve slept on and need to binge asap! Thanks 🙏🏻
Look for ‘The Recruit.’ One season only [so far] Young lawyer gets hired by the CIA. Manages to mix office politics with national politics.
Seen an episode or two of this, not a fan
To each their own.
My time to shine has come!
“The killing” with Joel Kinnaman and Meirelle Enos. Two detectives try to solve a murder case.
“The fall” with Jamie Dornan and Gillian Anderson. A father with a dark and unsettling history.
“Mare of Easttown” with Kate Winslet and Evan Peters. Local detective invetigates a complicated case.
“Inside man” with Stanley Tucci. A detective gets help from an unexpected person.
Sorry for the crappy overviews.
Those are some of my favorites and I have watched them more than once.
you’ve always shined my friend!
Dude, this looks like exactly what I was looking for as I’ve never watched any of these and that is rare. Thank you even included a high level plot overview as well, lemmy can’t be matched!
You are in for a treat!
I am glad I could share something interesting with you.
As a fan of all those shows (except the last which I haven’t seen yet, thanks for the tip!) this guy nails it. Those are all great picks! I will add I really liked season 1 of ‘The Sinner’ was excellent. I can’t say I loved the rest of the series as much as season 1.
The sinner season 1 was great! Jessica Biel surprised me with her character but it’s the little sister that does it for me. Have you watched “Sharp objects” with Amy Adams? I love how gritty and sordid it is. Kinda slow at first butvthen it picks up quickly for a riveting ending.
“The killing”
Consider watching the Danish original instead though :)
Oh I will look it up for sure! Thanks for the suggestion.
Seconded, it’s superb.
I kinda liked Your Honor.
i did too they should make more
I liked it, first season best.
It’s old but Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy is great.
Fortitude Session 1 is great. Season 1 is also self contained and the mystery is solved. Season 2 was a new mystery and kind of meh.
If you’re never seen Columbo, you’re in for a treat.
