10 Crime Shows to Binge Watch

These are the 10 crime shows to binge watch for any crime show addict. In recent times some of the best television series have been crime shows. While legendary crime tv shows such as The Wire will live on forever these are the crime shows to watch now. The idea of getting a glimpse into the criminal underground as well as the flawed legal systems is what draws in audiences to TV crime series.
One of the 10 best crime shows to binge watch that displays both those aspects is John Singleton’s Snowfall. Diving deep into the CIA connection to the rise of crime in Los Angeles during the 1980s Snowfall sets itself apart from most crime tv series. With that said the most forgotten and perhaps the best crime tv show that deserves more credit is The Night Of.

Godfather of Harlem is also a pretty good history lesson for that period. The actor who plays Malcom X is outstanding.

[@idiotboxreview959]

Him and the character Gustavo plays are top notch

[@idiotboxreview959]

Giancarlo*

[@ld4974]

@@idiotboxreview959 Giancarlo plays Adam Powell. Great veteran actor. I should have done this initially, but the actor who plays Malcolm is Nigel Thatch. I had not seen him before so his acting stood out to me, especially since he plays Malcolm the way I imagine Malcolm would carry himself day to day.

[@anitamarie9056]

Big facts!!!

I am overwhelmingly shocked that the Crime Show RAY DONOVAN is not amongst the Top 10 mentioned. The writing on The Showtime show is spectacular; frequently weaving in the thread of the catholic molestation that haunts the family. I respect everyone's recommendations regarding this subject matter, but I highly recommend watching this show.

One of my faves. Did you know the lead actor is also the writer? And he made a film in 2005 called "the magician" about the same character "sort of". And since 2005 he was waiting like 15 years to get the tv show into production. As one of the stipulations was that he plays the character. The producer of the show is also the guy who funded his film and his friend. It's an interesting story, cause he's just a normal bloke who was a taxi driver.
