I heard Hannibal was good but my DH doesn’t like shows that were on network tv.

Thanks!

- Murder in the Bayou (Showtime) this one really brings home how little some lives are valued by society.
- I’ll be gone in the Dark (HBO) ... about the Golden State Killer. Thought it was better than the book given real life perspective.

It appears my COVID TV habits are pretty dark.


The most recent season of mindhunter included this as a plot.

Spiral, a French police show, if you want to go a bit further afield.

We watched this awhile - it's so good and there were so many twists and turns (got a bit confusing a few times though).

This show is seared into me - some images I’ll never forget. Matthew McConaughey was phenomenal.


Yup, I was gonna suggest this one too. Can’t go wrong with Woody Harrelson and Matthew McC in the same show. But beware, it’s very creepy and disturbing at times


+1. Season 1 was by far the best. But I also really enjoyed season 3.

If you haven't already watched it, I highly recommend Sherlock.
