Must Watch Detective Shows You Can Stream Right Now

If you’re looking for some great TV, look no further than these three shows currently streaming on Netflix.

Jack Taylor. Starring Game of Thrones’ Iain Glen as the titular Jack Taylor, this gritty Irish detective drama thrills and compels every bit as much as it entertains. Taylor, a street tough ex-cop kicked off the force for assaulting a politician turns to the world of private investigation, taking on the cases that the cops won’t and letting nothing get in his way, not even the law, when solving them. Taylor breaks the rules to help others, all while battling his own demons.

The Fall. Compared to a game of cat-and-cat as opposed to cat-and-mouse, The Fall tells the tale of an intelligent serial killer on the loose in Belfast being pursued by a cold, calculating detective who is every bit as intelligent. The series stars Gillian Anderson (of X-Files fame) in the role of the detective, a role which she has described as her all-time favorite, and a few episodes into the show it’s easy to see why. Jamie Dornan stars opposite Anderson as the serial killer, and his performance is every bit as riveting, making this a show not to be missed.

River. British drama at its finest, River stars Stellan Skarsgard as detective inspector John River with the Metropolitan Police Service who tries to solve the mystery of his murdered partner. As River investigates her murder he digs up conspiracies and cover ups, all while solving day-to-day cases and dealing with his own personal trauma after the event. His investigations lead to compelling encounters with grieving family members, ex-cons, and fellow officers, who River suspects had a hand in the whole affair.
