Crime is the broadest genre in television. The label covers procedurals with standalone cases per episode, serialised investigator stories across full seasons, true crime adaptations of real cases, gangster series, neo-noir productions and psychological perpetrator portraits – formats that differ fundamentally in pace, tone and perspective. What they share is crime as a central motif, but not necessarily its resolution.
The community ratings help filter out the series that work beyond their premise. Series that consistently rank near the top tend to share one quality: they show the crime from multiple perspectives at once – perpetrator, investigator, victim, system – and ask questions without easy answers. Use the runtime filter to find crime series with shorter episodes that are well suited for binge-watching.
If you like crime TV shows, you may also enjoy thriller TV shows or mystery TV shows, since they often combine investigations, suspense and unexpected twists.
The top Crime TV Shows are ranked by real community votes. The more ratings a show has, the more stable its position.
