According to Ranker, the most commonly recommended show is Kate Winslet’s Mare of Easttown.

Not only are these thrilling criminal thrillers, but there are spoiler-ish tidbits that connect them in an extremely interesting way.
Mare of Easttown is a limited series, therefore there is only one season – however that season was universally loved.
Lucy Mangan’s five-star review for The Guardian described Winslet’s performance as a ‘triumph’.
They said: “Alongside an outstanding ensemble, the actor provides a defining performance in this superbly crafted HBO drama set in a dismal and destitute part of Pennsylvania.
“As the twists and turns of the cases are revealed, it becomes a show greater than the sum of its already considerable parts.”
The New Yorker agrees, ranking the concert as one of the finest of 2021.
They stated: “This gruesome, engrossing miniseries had some terrific performances, including by Kate Winslet as the titular police detective.”
RogerEbert.com’s review may not have received a star rating, but it is clear that they agree: “The Brilliance is in the Details of HBO’s Riveting Mare of Easttown.”
It may be more difficult to find than simply sticking to Netflix, but if you like Your Honour, Mare of Easttown is well worth the effort for your next viewing.
