Crime show recommendations

[MountCleaners]

So far, I've liked "Tin Star", "Luther", "The Fall", "Broadchurch". "Fallet" is excellent, too - it's about a British detective and a Swedish detective who have to work together. I also watched the "Dragon Tattoo Trilogy" in the original Swedish. I've also watched a bunch only to turn them off because they were so lame.

What do people recommend I watch next? What are your favorite crime dramas?

[Freedomofspeech]

1. We loved Foyles War and Midsummer Murders.

[geardaddy]

2. If you like dark stuff, I would recommend Hinterland.

It's on Netflix. It's a Welsh show about murders in Mid-Wales. It's produced in both Welsh and English (filmed twice, one for each language). Netflix only has the English version.

[Squinch]

5. I was put off by the lead guy's acting. At times it seemed

Zoolander-like.

[geardaddy]

7. Ah, ok. It's not for everyone.

[Squinch]

10. I think it got a ton of awards, so I'm in the minority.

[Squinch]

17. A Welsh one that I DID like a lot was "Craith." Aired in the UK earlier this year. No

English version, though.

[geardaddy]

19. Was that on Netflix or the BBC?

I'm looking for Welsh-language shows!

[Squinch]

20. Bbc. Its quite creepy, but i like that.

I love listening to the language, too.

[geardaddy]

21. Cool.

Thanks for the suggestion!

[Squinch]

22. Enjoy!

23. How did you see it in the US?

3. Some more to add

In no particular order:

Unforgotten, on PBS (British) - watching now - bit of a new take on cold cases - liking it.

Grantchester (British) - a more serious version of Father Brown

Crossing Lines (European) - you have to overlook the shortcomings and have a robust willing suspension of disbelief

The Tunnel (British and French) - my favorite in this group, mainly because of Clemence Poesy - she could read the phone book and I'd watch it.

Bordertown (Finnish) - Quirky but good - as with The Tunnel you find yourself looking at IMDB for other shows these actors have been in.

Borderliner (Swedish) - okay

Doctor Blake (Australian) - much lighter than the others - doctor helps police in small Australian town

Father Brown (British) - priest helps police in small British village

Deep Water (Australian) - be patient - I had to try it twice before I got past the first episode

Hinterland (Wales) - very moody, at times irritating, but I liked it

Shetland (Shetlandish) - The current season is the best so far

Collateral (British) - Short series, leaves you shaking your head how disparate events are intertwined and affect the lives of so many people

River (British) - quirky - Liked this too

The Frozen Dead (French) - Watched in winter, seemed appropriate

Sniffer (Ukrainian) - really quirky - you get into it and can't believe you're watching Ukrainian TV

La Mante (French) - twists and turns, moody, intelligent

32. After seeing Dr Blake

We looked to find other things the actor who plays Jean was in.

So then we accidentally binge all of City Homicide on Hulu. But we called out the Not Jean Show.

[Squinch]

4. The Bridge, Swedish/Danish version. Its amazing. Also

Trapped. It's from Iceland.

[CurtEastPoint]

6. Shetland. Check it out

[ProudMNDemocrat]

9. Hinterland is EXCELLENT.

This series is set in Aberystwyth, Wales. We stayed there for 5 days in October of 2015.

The main character is as brilliant, but emotionally broken London Dectective Inspector who moves to Wales, solves murders.

This Dectective has twin daughters. You do not see them in the series, but you see their photo. These were the twin daughters of our airbandb hosts we stayed with for those wonderful 5 days.

15. I loved it! Watched it because it was filmed close to Llanfihangel y Creuddyn

Where my great grandfather came from.

Next year my husband and I will spend over two months in the UK - and at least a week in Aberyswyth to do research at the National Library of Wales. We'll also visit that village to see if the church has any records for us.

One of the places used in the Hinterland series, the Devil's Bridge, is near there and we plan to see it.

11. I love Inspector Montalbano. I can't watch the really dark Nordic ones!

[Runningdawg]

12. 2 of my favorites on Netflix

MindHunter - 2nd season starts on Halloween
Sleeper Cell - only 2 seasons, but it ended well.

[Demsrule86]

30. I can't wait for mindhunter...found it and binged watched it all in two days even though I was

supposed to getting read to sell my house...ah well house is sold now anyway. I am almost sorry I didn't watch it slower so I still had episodes to watch.

[MountCleaners]

13. Thanks, everyone

I'm going to queue these up.

[AndJusticeForSome]

14. Happy Valley! n/t

[Squinch]

16. Fabulous.

[Squinch]

18. Scott & Bailey was made by the same crew as Happy Valley. I think it's as good.

[MountCleaners]

24. I'm watching "The Killing" now

American version. Not a lot of crime in it, just one big crime, but good drama nonetheless.

[bif]

25. "Prime Suspect" with Hellen Mirren was great.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

26. Petrocelli

and Mannix....

[Adelante]

27. We like the same crime shows

So I can recommend:

Spring Tide | Springfloden – Season 1

I watched it on MHz, but I'm pretty sure I've seen it listed on Netflix, as well.

I especially liked how the homeless are portrayed in this series, as fully fleshed out humans, not just shadows lying in a doorway. The lead actor plays a homeless ex-detective, in fact, and does an outstanding job of it.

[Nay]

28. "The Missing." Each season is about the disappearance of one person. The first

season -- absolutely haunting.

[Purrfessor]

29. Spiral and Braquo...Netflix and/or Hulu. Both excellent.

[Generic Brad]

31. I recommend "Sneaky Pete"

There are two seasons streaming on Amazon Prime. Great crime show if you like to watch criminals in action.

[hibbing]

33. I just started Mindhunters on Netfix

It is about early study of serial killers. Thus far I am finding it interesting. I think it is set in the mid 70s.

Peace

[MountCleaners]

34. I watched the second seasons of...

"Marcella" (very dark) and "Goliath"...both very good.

I like Nordic crime, but I think I've watched most of the shows by now.

[IcyPeas]

35. Bodyguard from BBC 1, Netflix

6 part series. About security detail for The Home Office. Good stories, tension, good actors.

Great shows mentioned above too.
Happy Valley
Grantchester
Lewis
Endeavor
Unforgotten
Prime Suspect
