May, at first glance, might appear to be an unpopular time for diving into mystery series; nevertheless, no one fascination can surpass the mystery behind the world as we know it. Whether it is an evening storm or a sunny day, these three British TV crime thrillers will keep you sticking to the screen due to the outstanding story-telling as well as excellent acting of the leading actors.
Harry Wild (2022)
Police are beginning to investigate the murder when Harry Wild, the unconventional one, enters the scene. Represented by the brilliant Jane Seymour’s great performance, Harry is a recently retired academic, and she does not have a plan to succumb to the boring post-retirement phase. On the other hand, Sherlock is characterized by getting stuck right into cases with her unique perceptive ability and out-of-the-box solutions. The wild combination of humor and suspense is a treat in Harry Wild. After all, the show wouldn’t be as believable without Seymour’s outstanding portrayal. Hippocratic provides two seasons available for binge-watching and its third season starts to air on May 13. By joining the Hippocratic, whose main protagonist is Harry, now is the right time to experience her adventures.
The Long Call (2021)
The present story, The Long Call, is a masterpiece that takes place and is set against the inspiring sea of Devon, following the comeback of Detective Inspector Matthew Venn to his hometown for his father’s memorial service. Vic Venn, a former marine who is now a private investigator, is pulled into a murder case that has connections to the community’s religious group, forcing him to revisit the past while also solving the present questions. Ben Aldridge plays the protagonist to such an extent that he is all mysterious while posing charms; the spectacular cinematography that depicts the harbor with its idyllic coastline imparts mystique and interest. Through eight episodes, this crime drama depicts that all you need to do is switch on TV, and The Long Call will take you to the coast, where you can inhale the bracing air and feel the salt on your skin.
Landscapers (2021)
You are warned to expect to be fascinated by the denouement of Landers, a darkly humorous crime drama based on the real story of Susan and Christopher Edwards, who were a regular couple crumbling under the evil perceived by them. Olivia Colman and David Thewlis show their acting skills at their best and provide deep insight into the minds of the pretenders guilty of their psychological illusions. The movie managed to mix to great success the true-crime elements with distinctively dark humor and came up with an examination of the dark human side, but in a way that was still able to keep some empathy towards the problematic main characters. The creative way of narration and captivating cast make Landscapers a must-see for any person who likes a crime drama that is a bit out of the ordinary.
Whether you want to enjoy the subtle unpredictability, creeping suspense, or deep dark humor, these three TV crime shows are the ones that will give you all of it, and perhaps even more. So bring along your popcorn, get cozy, and above all, anticipate an exhilarating experience while the movie unravels the unfolding hidden truth right before your eyes.
