r/NetflixBestOf on Reddit: [REQUEST] I am looking for a mystery/thriller/whodunnit show that can be binged
April 21, 2025 -

I’m in serious need of a new mystery/thriller/whodunnit show to binge. I’ve already watched (and loved) The Sinner, The Killing, True Detective, Mare of Easttown, Sharp Objects, The Fall, Broadchurch, Happy Valley, Marcella, Luther, and Shetland.

Looking for something with great writing, dark vibes, and a plot that actually keeps you guessing. Bonus points if it’s character-driven or has a slow burn. Preferably in English, but I’m open to international suggestions if they’re really worth it.

Thanks in advance for any recs!

The Residence.

Bosch and Bosch: Legacy (Prime): based on the Michael Connelly book series, character-forward, interesting twists, gritty and moody Goliath (Prime): starts as a semi-standard legal thriller/courtroom drama, moves into some really interesting and unexpected noir-inspired stuff, very character-driven, slow burn Troppo (Prime): neonoir detective/murder mystery set in Australia, moody and fairly grim, character-driven, interesting twists Bodkin (Netflix): cold case murder mystery set in Ireland, very moody, strong writing, big characters Perry Mason (Max): 1930s detective mystery, excellent writing/characterization Three Pines (Prime): cold case mysteries related to First Nations communities, character-driven, excellent writing Here are some offbeat recs that might interest you -- some tonal overlaps with my recs above: Deadloch (Prime): Australian murder mystery, interesting twists, character-driven, but much funnier than Troppo Search Party (Max): starts as a mystery/thriller, moves through about a dozen genres by the end, very dark, very funny, extremely character-driven, highly bingeable The Old Man (Hulu): more of a thriller with political/war themes, extremely character-driven, very moody and dark, very slow burn -- reminds me of The Sinner in some ways Outer Range (Prime): more sci-fi/supernatural, but very moody, dark tones, slowwwww burn, interesting characters (warning: this got canceled after two seasons, I still think it's worth watching) Sugar (Apple): my most offbeat recommendation for people who like noir/neonoir, packs a big crazy twist

NETFLIX PSYCHOLOGICAL/MYSTERY THRILLER TV SERIES
Try Mindhunter. Watch the 1st episode. If you like it then watch the whole series. For me it's the best series yet from Netflix. Sad it got cancelled after 2 seasons because Fincher was making some other movie or TV show. And yes, these words count limit sucks. More on reddit.com
