So, you’ve read every bestselling whodunit and plowed through every true-crime podcast—what’s next? A murder mystery TV show, that’s what. For those who can’t get enough of the mystery genre, who fancy themselves amateur detectives, and who can’t stop themselves from picking up on every last clue when working their way through a thriller story in any format, it’s time to dive in to one of the many, many TV shows at your disposal.
You’ve got plenty of options, from old standbys like Law & Order, with its whopping 24 seasons (and counting!), to newer, more eccentric entries like the Shonda Rhimes-produced The Residence. There are also plenty of HBO prestige dramas, with their A-list casts, avalanches of Emmy nods, and certified “pop culture icon” status—The White Lotus or Big Little Lies, anybody?
