I would recommend some older shows like The OC, Skins (UK) or s1-4 seasons one tree hill. Gossip girl ( the og) was also a classic.

If you like supernatural shows Buffy the vampire Slayer is the best. Also the early seasons of the vampire diaries are fun

When it comes to new shows there is outer banks, ginny georgia and sex education.

• One Tree Hill (definite mean girls/ classic high school drama, this was my show back in the day lol)
• Gilmore Girls
• 13 reasons why
• Ginny & Georgia
• Derry Girls (absolutely hilarious!)
• Skins (similar to Euphoria but British)
• Outerbanks
• The 100
• Wednesday

Hope this is a good list to keep you going!

Unbelievable was pretty good. Not as visually dark but a similar investigation style and very dark subject material.

THANKS ! I can't wait to watch them

Thanks ! The 2004 edition right ?

Smallville.

There's a series of 4 Scandinavian Noir movies called 'Department Q' that is very similar and very good:

The Keeper of Lost Causes (2013)
The Absent One (2014)
A Conspiracy of Faith (2016)
The Purity of Vengeance (2018)

This and The OC are the must watches in this thread for this genre.

Nice I hope you enjoy it!

Veronica mars and Friday night lights should be at the top of the list. Fnl is football themed but even if you aren't into sports you'll love it for the reasons you listed.

Veronica Mars is just fantastic tv all around. You'll know if it's your kinda show by the end of the first episode and it just gets better from there.

Skip Season 2 of True Detective, and go to Season 3.

nothing reaches that level. but stuff in the neighborhood..

The Night Of

Mindhunter

Ik, it was so dark, well-written, and had a really creepy vibe. Well-written is also a massive understatement, they show has some of the best writing of any show ever

I am halfway though episode 1 of Sharp Objects rn.

Under The Banner of Heaven was quite good, worth checking out.

You and me both. That show did some things no other show has done.

skam and all their remakes, genera+ion, heartbreak high

You might enjoy Ozark for a Breaking Bad fix, and as for True Detective, if you can handle scenes involving self harm you might really enjoy Sharp Objects it’s an HBO limited series that’s a dark southern-gothic crime mystery. It doesn’t have the masculine feeling of season 1 of true detective, because it’s focused mainly on female characters, but it still has a lot of similarities to TD season 1 (it’s dark, deals with generational trauma, takes place in the south, centers around the murder of teenage girls, amongst many other things)

Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Skins (UK original) and The O.C. - both were gamechangers.

Sharp Objects

Fargo (at least Seasons 1 and 2)
