Crime/mystery show recommendations?

[. Rarity .]

I've been sick for the past week, and I've been binging crime shows. But the ones I've been watching have too much outside drama, that it takes away from the crimes themselves.

Does anyone know good ones? I'm fine with a little outside drama, just not so much that it becomes the focal point of the show. Thanks ♡

My grandma watches Snapped, Forensic Files, Murder in the Heartland, and Homicide Hunter with Lt. Joe Kenda. (Decent shows, I think.) When I was about 20, I was obsessed with The First 48 (cops solving actual murders), and Web of Lies (about Internet-based crimes). There's also one called "Fear Thy Neighbor" about crimes committed by people's own neighbors.

Depends. Real crime or fake crime? Sounds like you're after fake crime shows. I'd say Law and Order Criminal Intent was more focused on the crimes. Towards the end it got more focused on the detectives but the first few seasons were pretty cool in that you got to see what caused the criminals to act that way.

Thanks! I did watch some Law and Order, it's not too bad.

Oh I forgot about the first 48! I should look into it. I am more after the true crime stories. Web of Lies sounds really interested. The title *Homicide Hunter* interests me already. Thank you!

The first show that came to mind is Dexter, that one's interesting since it's not from the point of view of the detectives but from the point of view of a serial killer who only kills other serial killers or bad people, I don't remember if there was a lot of outside drama since it's been YEARS since I watched it and I also never finished it for some reason but I remember really liking it, sorry if you've already seen it or know what it's about and I just described it to you for no reason lol

Web of Lies is a good one! I've watched a few episodes. Pretty much anything on ID is good lol.

Definitely Murder She Wrote. The entire series is currently on Tubi and you can watch it for free. I definitely recommend it especially if you like Angela Lansbury.

There’s this one true crime show that I recommend is called the keepers. You can find it on Netflix and it’s about a catholic school and things going on in the background and there’s a nun that goes missing and it became a cold case which you can see in the limited series that some of these students that are now all grown to an elderly age try to still crack the case however if I’m not mistaken, it’s still a cold case. I will say before anybody goes to search it up that huge trigger warning there is very sensitive and heavy topics that the show talks about but other than that I would recommend let me know how you think about it.

Definitely Twin Peaks and X-Files. Peak shows if I say so myself. I recently started watching both and I'm enjoying them a lot

 

[lasagne_of_death]

These are fake crime shows ftr. Seconding the Murder She Wrote suggestion, I enjoyed it, especially the early seasons. I did also watch Columbo and while there are definitely some good episodes and plots, I wasn't personally fond of the mc's character

 

[Reginald Fairfield]

A buddy suggested Poirot. It's another Agatha Christie show. I've found some on youtube. I'm not sure what time period it is set in.

Considering this topic is about 2 years old I doubt they're still looking for crime/mystery shows. I never knew that Twin Peak was a crime show. I knew it was a bit of a surreal creepy series. My one friend was a huge fan of the series and David Lynch. They also watched the movie Mulholland Drive by them and said they got nightmares related to it throughout the year. This was back when they were much younger. So if you're thinking of Twin Peaks you might also try that movie.
