r/NetflixBestOf on Reddit: [REQUEST] Looking for the best British crime dramas
September 6, 2025 -

I’ve recently been on a crime drama binge and I’m looking for more recommendations.

I just watched Dept Q and Fool Me Once and really enjoyed both of them. I also finished Bodyguard, which was great. My favorite crime drama overall has to be Line of Duty (not on Netflix, unfortunately), such a good show.

What other British crime dramas would you recommend that are available on Netflix?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Truly one of the best British detectives you must see, but quite intense at times, so I recommend watching it together with someone.
