What are some plot driven, serialized, crime/mystery/drama TV shows without supernatural elements? (kbin.social)

Must not be primarily character driven like Mad Men and The Wire, and must not have supernatural elements as in Twin Peaks. I really like Mindhunter. Looking for similar recommendations if possible. Thanks

i always enjoyed Columbo

We also enjoyed season 1 of Poker Face, which is a giant love letter to Columbo.

Have you tried Hannibal? Although it follows two characters primarily, I consider it more psychological crime drama than character driven.

I thought Des was pretty good. It has a bit of a mindhunter feel to it. You may be able to get some good recommendations over on television@lemmy.world

Looks perfect. Will ask on lemmy as well. Thanks

Nice! You might like Blackbird too. Another really good show with a similar feel to it.

The first season of True Detective is an absolute masterpiece.

@kuontom Criminal Minds, Bones and The Blacklist are some of my favourites

Watched a few episodes of Criminal Minds and The Blacklist. They're great for sure, but they are episodic. I'm in the mood for a serialized show.

Will check out Bones tonight.

@kuontom

Ag sorry, I got serialised and episodic mixed up. Maybe Breaking Bad?

Check out some Scandinavian noir like Trapped or the Bridge.

NCIS follows your request for several seasons before starting to run dry on serialized plot and leaning on character-driven subplots for a while. Then it eventually recovers after a couple more seasons and gets back on its feet.

Rabbit Hole

The killing.

Heads up, can be a hard watch though.
