Hannibal is a top notch series, absolutely riveting. It's difficult to believe it was on network television!

Try pairing it with Mindhunter on Netflix.

Another favorite featuring disturbing men committing atrocious crimes is The Fall, from 2014. Gillian Anderson and Jamie Dornan are both riveting in their roles as police detective and serial murderer, respectively.

And finally, on my second rewatch of Fringe, quite possibly the most brain-twisting sci-fi ever. Once you give in, you'll never give up.

Congrats for making the move to Substack!

Thanks! I'm still at Forbes also but I wanted to stretch my wings a bit, do some different stuff, expand horizons and whatnot. I never did watch Fringe (I think an episode or two but it didn't click for me) but maybe I should go back and give it another shot. I loved Mindhunter and I'm so sad it's been cancelled....

I often reminisce about Fringe and what a great show it was. Have you watched anything similar since that you would recommend?

sadly i haven't seen anything new, with the exception of the expanse which others here have referenced. but fringe is still kind of silly and fun, while the expanse is very gritty and intense, more along the lines of a battlestar galactica.

honestly i have several series that i simply rewatch. i. might be on my 8th viewing of mindhunter :-) but there are so many great suggestions on this thread!
