If you’re never seen Columbo, you’re in for a treat.
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!
Presumed Innocent is finishing out it’s first season. Really great so far.
I kinda liked Your Honor.
I liked it, first season best.
i did too they should make more
The Wire, The Sopranos
Mindhunter, True Detective season one
I quite enjoyed season 4 of True Detective as well. If you don’t compare it to the lightning in a bottle that was Season 1, anyway
damn loved true detective will check out mindhunter, thanks
Mindhunter is the same calibre, sad we didn’t get more seasons
IKR?! I read the book some time ago and I was like, man this part here would have made such a great episode.
Matthew Mcconaughey and Woody Harrelson were great in it! The last season with Jodie Foster was good too IMO, but the rest was just blah.
Andor
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.
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 😅
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.
“The killing”
Consider watching the Danish original instead though :)
Seconded, it’s superb.
Oh I will look it up for sure! Thanks for the suggestion.
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!
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.
You are in for a treat!
I am glad I could share something interesting with you.
How has no one mentioned The Wire. It might be, without exaggerating, the best show ever made, still.
Mr Robot
Narcos
Dahmer
The Last of US
Chernobyl
Snowfall
Peaky Blinders
Ozark
dang , i’ve seen them all except the last of us
Try Last of Us. It’s very atmospheric and well written.
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.
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
Yeah I loved the ending. A similar brilliant ending with Mr Robot too.
The Hannibal series maintained my interest throughout, largely carried by Mads Mikkelsen
Plus the visuals and ambience creation were superb IMO. Mads Mikkelsen is such a vesratile actor. I especially liked his Hannibal.
OP: I am babbling all over tour post brcausd I am so excited to find interesting shows, moviese and people in it. Sorry for the rambling.
ALIAS. “She’s a grad student! She’s a spy! She’s a grad student! She’s a spy!”
Sopranos
