5 Best New Crime TV Shows to Stream Right Now on Apple TV+
The most intricate detective stories to spend your evenings with.
The huge popularity of streaming services has prompted the giant corporation Apple to create its own platform. Apple has signed multi-year contracts with production companies and the most talented authors of our time.
Nowadays, the most awaited series from Apple are sci-fi and crime genres, today we give preference to the latter.
1. Presumed Innocent, 2024-...
One of the platform's biggest recent hits is Presumed Innocent, a new miniseries from Big Little Lies creator David E. Kelley.
This is a new adaptation of Scott Turow's novel of the same name, which was made into a 1990 movie starring Harrison Ford. Like the original, the new series follows a district attorney (played by Jake Gyllenhaal) who is accused of murdering his colleague and lover.
2. Sugar, 2024
Hollywood producer Jonathan hires private investigator John Sugar to find his missing granddaughter. Of course, the investigation will uncover dark family secrets.
Sugar is a neo-noir, a modern story that reimagines the tropes of classic films like Double Indemnity and The Maltese Falcon. However, the goal was not to reproduce or imitate their storytelling style, but to place the hero of a classic noir in modern Los Angeles and see how this noble and honest character would fare there.
3. Criminal Record, 2024-...
Apple TV's first major project of the year was Criminal Record, a British crime drama about a young sergeant and a veteran detective who are pitted against each other over a long-closed case that needs to be reopened after an anonymous phone call.
But not everyone wants to return to a crime that has already been confessed and sentenced.
Criminal Record is a classic British crime show mixed with gunshots, car chases, street fights, and most importantly – there's the devilishly charismatic Peter Capaldi in one of the lead roles.
4. Slow Horses, 2022-...
An ironic spy series about the everyday life of British intelligence agents who fell out of favor with their superiors and were sent to a branch for the worst of the worst. The department of the misfits is led by the grumpy boss Jackson, who constantly humiliates his subordinates.
Under his leadership, the employees perform boring and meaningless work, such as shuffling papers and rummaging through trash. Each season, the team of would-be spies find themselves at the center of dangerous conspiracies and high-profile scandals, proving their professional mettle time and time again.
5. The Afterparty, 2022-2023
Tragedy strikes at a high school reunion party when the most successful classmate falls to his death from a balcony. Detective Danner arrives on the scene to interview witnesses and get to the truth.
Suspects include Aniq, Zoe, Brett, Yasper, Chelsea, Walt, and several other people in the house. Each has their own version of events. It soon becomes clear that anyone could have killed the arrogant pop idol.
The classic whodunit plot is revealed through a comedic basis and an original concept. Each episode tells the story from the point of view of a specific character and is stylized as different film genres.
