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.
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

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!

Seconded, it's superb.

The Bridge, a scandinavian series
Signal, a korean series
man korean series are crazy i love it. i prefer dubbed tho over subtitles
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.

The Wire, The Sopranos
Sopranos
- Manhunt: Unabomber + Deadly Games
- The Killing
- Ozark
- Halt and Catch Fire
- Rubicon (unfortunately cancelled after season 1)
- Mindhunter
- Dopesick
- Narcos
- Chernobyl
That Unabomber series was such a touching piece for me. I don't want to spoil anyone's fun, but it made feel vey sentimental how his vulnerable side was presented.
"The Americans" β spy drama about Soviet deep undercover spies living in suburban Washington and their FBI neighbour
"Homeland" β CIA accuses a returned prisoner of war to be turned islamic terrorist
"Berlin Station" β 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 ππ»
Look for 'The Recruit.' One season only [so far] Young lawyer gets hired by the CIA. Manages to mix office politics with national politics.
Andor
If you're never seen Columbo, you're in for a treat.
Better call saul
How has no one mentioned The Wire. It might be, without exaggerating, the best show ever made, still.

Oh my absolute favorite detective. I remember waiting a freaking year when they announced "Midnight sun" to come out as the series finale. Great british TV!
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 its first season. Really great so far.
I'll add a pretty good classic that I haven't seen mentioned yet: The Mentalist
Excelent performance by Simon Baker, of course, as well as from the supporting cast. First seasons are really good, with some great finales. Quality drops a bit past season 4/5 imo, but it's still enjoyable.
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 your post because I am so excited to find interesting shows, movies 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!"
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.
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 ππ» thanks again that was one I'd never heard of.
