The Marlow Murder Club

PBS

The Marlow Murder Club — Stream on PBS

Ready for another murder mystery series with a side of humor, wit, and brilliantly rounded characters? If this sounds like your cup of tea, strap in for PBS’s The Marlow Murder Club.

The series centers on a group of seemingly unassuming women in the small English town of Marlow, who form an amateur sleuth club. What do they do in said club? Oh, just investigate unsolved murder mysteries within the town of Marlow. Hey, it’s a whole lot more fun than starting a book club! But also, as they’re about to find out, a whole lot messier.
Mindhunter

Netflix

Mindhunter — Stream on Netflix

This hidden gem is praised by many as Netflix’s number one original series of all time. After binging the whole show in one weekend, I now completely understand why. Starring Frozen’s very own Jonathan Groff, the series centers around a group of FBI agents who investigate the cruelest serial killers of the 1970s. It’s dark, it’s chilling, and it’s an artistic masterpiece that uncovers the origins of criminal profiling within the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

HBO

True Detective — Stream on HBO Max

It would be hard to make a top-tier crime drama list without including the top-tier crime drama itself, True Detective. With its star-studded cast, gripping storylines, and shocking twists, you’ll be thinking of this series long after you finish your binge. I know I have, and it’s been years at this point since I’ve watched!

Criminal Minds

Paramount+

Criminal Minds — Stream on Paramount+

Criminal Minds may sound like your standard crime drama, but believe me when I say, it’s honestly one of the most unique shows in TV history. This is thanks to the colorful ensemble of characters who make up the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Spencer Reid and Penelope Garcia must be protected at all costs. Please and thank you.

One moment you’ll be screaming while watching between the cracks of your fingers, and the next you’ll be cracking up over the banter between Morgan and Garcia. Fair warning, though, this series doesn’t hold back, so watch at your own risk.

Hannibal

Netflix

Hannibal — Stream on Prime Video

I have this one friend who has been begging me to watch Hannibal for years now. I always shrugged off the recommendation, since I already knew the story of Hannibal Lecter after watching The Silence of the Lambs a zillion times. But this crime drama takes the classic villainous character to a whole other level. Plus, the cackling tension between Hannibal Lecter and criminal profiler Will Graham is so uncomfortably beautiful that it will haunt you for the remainder of time.

Killing Eve

BBC

Killing Eve — Stream on Tubi

Killing Eve is a crime drama that’s genuinely as hilarious as it is thrilling. This is thanks to the brilliant comedic timing of lead actresses Jodi Comer and Sandra Oh. Comer plays Vilanelle, the deadly but oh-so-charming killer, axing the streets of London. Meanwhile, Grey’s Anatomy star Sandra Oh is the obsessive detective who ends up falling head over heels in love with Vilanelle.

Bates Motel

AMC

Bates Motel — Stream on Prime Video

Curious about the origin story of Alfred Hitchcock's iconic character Norman Bates from Psycho? Bates Motel delivers the most chilling, nuanced character study of this classic cinema villain. It’s seriously one of the most gripping television programs I’ve ever seen. Like, ever ever. 11 out of 10 from me.

Barry

HBO Max

Barry — Stream on HBO Max

What happens when a cold-blooded murderer immerses himself in acting class? HBO's Barry, starring Bill Hader, is a fascinating character study on a man who is trying to process his dark well of emotions. Perhaps this little drama club can save him? Or, perhaps not.
