There are a lot of detective TV shows, both in the past and present. Some of them are admittedly corny with writing that doesn't give the actors much to work with in terms of depth. Some are designed to be silly, campy, even on purpose. In these instances, overacting is actually appreciated, even applauded.

No streamer has built up a catalog as extensive as Netflix's. Filled to the brim with movies, series, documentaries, and more, Netflix continues to serve as the place to go for top-tier entertainment. But with wall-to-wall content, there will inevitably be some you miss. With binge-watching all the rage, it sounds easy to watch a miniseries in a single sitting, but there are times you'll likely miss some that you’ll wish you caught sooner.

Television has changed drastically in the last five years. Audiences just don’t have the time for surface-level stories and filler episodes anymore. The shift obviously became especially noticeable during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, when people turned to TV for escapism. However, it also made them way more selective about what actually deserved their time. Almost every genre adapted to those changing expectations in one way or another, but thriller television absolutely thrived because of it.
