Shows with one (or two) crimes in a season?

[Anonymous]

It doesn’t have to be a “cozy” mystery (though I like those too), it could be a bit of a thriller. But, I don’t want a lot of blood/gore or a serial killer etc. Maybe more where the crime is about a personal relationship gone wrong.

Some recent shows we have liked:
- Mare of Easttown
- Undoing
- Big Little Lies
- Only Murders

The Killing

The Night Of

Veronica Mars (sort of)

The Perfect Couple

I’m seconding Veronica Mars, especially season one.

For something fun: The Residence and The Afterparty.

+1 for The Killing

The Thing About Pam (it almost comes across as a comedy but the series actually leaves out some of the craziest details of the actual case).

The Affair

Sinner

Broadchurch (though I can only vouch for the first season)

+1 Broadchurch, The Killing
Doctor Foster, Season One
Top of the Lake
Unbelievable
True Detective: Night Country
Fargo Season 5
The Night Of
The Staircase


For something lighter: Poker Face

Adolescence

True Detective - the first season is some of the best television ever. Season 3 and 4 (Night Country mentioned above) are also good. I heard bad things about Season 2 so I skipped.

Have you watched the American Crime Stories about OJ? And Versace? And Clinton?

Mrs Davis sort of fits this format - and it's so so good, and criminally underwatched. Betty Gilpin is a nun solving the mystery of how to take down a ubiquitous AI called Mrs Davis - who is hunting her back.

It's only one beautiful, hilarious, surprising season.

The Killing and The Sinner are both excellent. I thought The Perfect Couple was awful.

The Good Place sort of fits

Watson got good.
