Crime thriller fan shares seven TV series people 'need' to watch now
One streaming fan has shared seven gripping TV crime thrillers that are a must watch for all fans of the genre - and they are all on Netflix and Disney Plus
Fed up with endlessly scrolling through Netflix and Disney Plus only to find yourself indecisive about what to watch next?
It can become a tedious task to choose your next binge-worthy series, but it helps when other people share their recommendations. Should you be on the prowl for some riveting new crime thrillers for your watchlist, you're in luck.
A TV fan has uncovered seven series they think fellow crime thriller fans 'need to watch'. And some of them are the 'best' people have seen.
Fi, a content creator from Manchester, through her @apartmentintheclouds TikTok account, has shared her top seven recommendations. She started with The Lincoln Lawyer from Netflix, an outstanding US legal drama adapted from Michael Connelly's books.
The plot weaves around defence solicitor Mickey Haller, essayed by Manuel Garca-Rulfo, who operates his practice from the backseat of his Lincoln Town Car covering Los Angeles. Fi gushed: "Absolutely loved this show! Great cast and good story lines."
Fi also suggested trying Under the Bridge, a hard-hitting crime drama inspired by Rebecca Godfrey's 2005 book on a harrowing true story. The series tackles the mystery of 14-year-old Reena Virk who disappeared post attending a party in 1997. The show, which is streaming on Disney Plus, delves into the secret world of the young girls who were accused of the murder. Fi said: "Based on a true event, acting 10/10, quite serious."
Castle, available to stream on Disney Plus, is a crime series about charismatic novelist Rick Castle (played by Nathan Fillion) who joins forces with NYPD detective Kate Beckett (portrayed by Stana Katic) to crack murder cases. Together, they navigate a realm of homicide with growing camaraderie.
Fi enthused: "Such a good show, loads of seasons, light-hearted at times, if you like police mystery drama you'll love this!".
Scandal, which is available on Disney Plus, follows Olivia Pope, a former media consultant to the president. She opens her own crisis-management firm after leaving the White House. On her first day she has to deal with an accusation against the president. Fi said: "I am OBSESSED with this show, seen it so many times. If you like political drama murder mystery, definitely watch this!"
The People v OJ Simpson: American Crime story revolves around the OJ Simpson murder trial, including the legal teams' battle to convict or acquit the American football legend. The drama series is based on the book The Run Of His Life: The People v. O.J. Simpson by Jeffrey Toobin, which looks at the behind-the-scenes dealings of both sides of the case, which he was found not guilty of in 1995.
It stars Cuba Gooding Jr as OJ Simpson, John Travolta as defence attorney Robert Shapiro, David Schwimmer as defence attorney Robert Kardashian, Sarah Paulson as prosecutor Marcia Clark and Courtney B Vance as Johnnie Cochran. Fi said: "Based on true events, really enjoyed this!"
How to Get Away with Murder on Disney Plus stars Viola Davis as Professor Annalise Keating, who gets entangled with four law students from her class. They get involved in a complex murder plot. Fi said: "LOVE this show. Viola Davis is incredible, great murder mystery, have watched this so many times!"
Lastly, Fi recommended Dexter, which follows Dexter Morgan, a forensics expert who leads a secret life as a serial killer who only targets murderers. About the show, which is streaming on Netflix, Fi said: "A classic, creepy, weird, lots of drama. Always a 10/10 for me."

NYC influencer is roasted for her aquatic-inspired purse... would YOU wear it?
A popular NYC influencer has divided the internet after sharing her aquatic-inspired purse. Halley Kate McGookin, who has 1.5million followers on TikTok, took to her page on June 5 to showcase her new purchase - a massive fish-shaped handbag. McGookin, who describes herself as ' funnier on TikTok, prettier on Insta,' called the $395 purse a 'beach bag,' but quickly clarified it could really work 'whenever' because it 'fits a lot.' The bag is made by STAUD, a clothing brand founded by American fashion designer Sarah Staudinger. She paired the unique bag with a $550 STAUD black silk dress with colorful sardines all over it and a lace trim along the chest. 'This for like a little Hamptons summer moment.... literally no notes,' she said, adding that she wouldn't be wearing the dress and bag together 'because that might be a little bit much.' Despite the influencer's clear enthusiasm about her new items, online users were not at all impressed with the fish-themed tote as one said it resembled 'a papier mache project.' 'Lmao those look like they came from temu,' another wrote on Reddit. 'People will buy anything if it's designer.' 'Oh the dress is great but please donate the bag,' wrote someone else. 'Money can't buy taste, as they say,' another chimed in. A commenter simply asked: 'WHAT is this?!?!?!?' seemingly perplexed by her accessory choice. While many people appeared to dislike the bag, some shared they were in favor of it. 'I'm a sucker for an animal shaped bag tbh lol,' a user said. 'Okay the fish bag is the moment,' said another. Someone else wrote: 'Obsessed looks so good.' 'Tbh if I had the money I'd be buying all of these bags too they're fun,' another said. The bag also comes in a smaller size for $295, according to the website. McGookin, who grew up in Virginia, is no stranger to criticism over her looks as she was recently slammed for a 'skid mark' manicure design she chose to go with in March. She was brutally mocked online after she showed off her manicure, calling it 'The best nails I've ever done.' Viewers were quick to point out the design looked more like 'blood stains' and 'skid marks' than a cute puppy - while many also mistook it for a brutal injury. In the clip, Halley said: 'Actually freaking out today. I took my busted nails from this to this. I never do designs on my nails, but I am so obsessed.' She continued, explaining she had visited Gilded Ritual salon for a 'Russian manicure' with hard gel, praising how the technique leaves 'cuticles non-existent.' 'The nail tech was so awesome and helped me pick out the right color to make sure we got Rusty all perfect on my nails. Obsessed with Russian manicures because the attention to detail like your cuticles are non existent after getting one. 'Just did a really simple nude color as my base and then I broke two of my nails so she added an extension so fast and she did the design so fast as well. She painted on the little dog,' she said. Viewers quickly mocked her over the design, as one said: 'The left nail looks like a skid mark.'
