Just browsing thru crime dramas as I am a bit obsessed with them...this is a Belgian crime drama with subtitles which have to say are really well done...its very intense and begins with a truly awful crime but the lead character is female and a Judge.. it gets a bit political but interesting to know how other European countries process crimes so differently...hope you enjoy as there are 10 episodes and currently on Episode 4. Also huge plus in my eyes..NOT MANY ADVERT BREAKS grin which sometimes put me off streaming ...

Some of the best crime/thrillers I've seen have been from.ober that way. Did you ever see "Trapped"? An Icelandic crime drama. First was very good. Never got around to seeing the second. There was also a Danish one called "Those Who Kill". Brilliant as well. They only made one series.

One of the best series I've seen lately is called "The Glory". Korean with subtitles. Intensely grim but truly brilliant. Worth a watch, if you have Netflix and can cope with the themes!

SeaWoozle Will search for Trapped as have not seen this drama...Have watched and enjoyed THOSE WHO KILL yes this was also a binge worthy watch...I also enjoyed Night Country with Jodie Foster and Fiona Shaw..part of the True Detective series..all very different genres.

I love the channel 4 Walter presents crime dramas. I would rather read subtitles then anything dubbed. Watching the Wall at the moment . And the wall really does exist . Artic ,Crimson rivers ,Professor T , I won't watch the British version while Ben Miller is a good actor I like the Belgium version. Inspector Browski ( not spelt correctly) it's German. Murder by the lake and the follow up ones. Those who kill, Agatha Christie's Hy something again can't think how to spell it.

I Player has Father Brown.Hinterland ,Dublin murders, Shetland , Vienna Blood and many others which are good.

Drama has Sister Boniface , the one with Emilia Fox set in Italy ,Brokenwood and others.

My 5 Madame Blanc and others .

Sorry can't think of the names of them all. Also even though I have a Smart TV I can't get ITVX used to be able to get ITV hub. Been told by ITV if I pay I can get it . Did point out it's supposed to be free and why did paying mean I could see it as it's the same TV it's a Samsung.

Have always watched Walter Presents, from channel four .
Haven't seen this particular one, but will have a look, Nordic Murders was very good.
At present watching Astrid, Murders in Paris, about solving crimes with an autistic crimal researcher. Treated with respect, it shows the fight she has to live her life, very sad in places, but Astrid always helps solve the crime with her brilliant mind.

I really enjoyed Astrid, great to see a different perspective
