I find them to be nice palate cleansers between heavier works, kinda like how some folks view John Grisham or those Jack Reacher books. I think Tor puts out a lot of their writers 'first in a series' books out for free so you can probably try one out. Monster Hunter International pays his bills I think but I enjoy all his stuff. They are quite ameritrashy
I nearly pissed myself laughing at Gangsta Lawn Gnomes concept.

The first episode is very combat heavy, which makes it very fun.

P.S. It's super to have discovered so many of you enjoy crime/mystery drama. I usually feel kind of on my own with this, as most folks I know don't care for it. I have really appreciated all the suggestions here.

Uba - did you watch Unbelievable? That's another in that True Detective style category that was fantastic. It's a Netflix limited series.

What exactly is the "True Detective style"? The wisp of supernatural? The time jumps? The focus on one long case? Or just the melancholy morose tone? I liked season 1 quite a bit, season 2 was a mess, and season 3 was just kinda....eh. I would be down for more of that but I need assurances that there is either a nice payoff for all the extended shots of characters standing in the rain (The Killing failed in this for me) or that it is just dynamic enough with great characters that the trip is worth it even if it has a bit of a soft ending (S1 of TD).

I'll second Unbelievable. That was really good. I'd also recommend The Night Of from a couple of years ago, and The Outsider, if you like supernatural stuff.charlest wrote: Sharp Objects is great. I watched it back when it came out and there are still visuals and scenes in that show that haunt me.

The whole "You never curse" diatribe was hysterical.

The Outsider was also good but I thought it kind of petered out over time. It started off very strong though.
I'd say the True Detective Style could also be described as the Se7en style. Dark, gritty, morally challenging, stark and stylish cinematography.
