I want to watch a good TV series on Netflix. I am looking for something that meets these criteria.
It’s already a complete series. I don’t want to wait another year for the next season, only to find out that isn’t going to be the last season either.
I’m looking for something either sci fi or mystery.
I’m looking for a series that ends well. As an example, I think Star Trek DS9 ended well. The X-files didn’t end well.
Please recommend away. Thank you
Terriers is an interesting series in the mystery realm. It’s complete, although there has been talk about another season. I wouldn’t say it ends great, it seems to have a hasty wrap-up because of it’s impending cancellation, but It stars Donal Logue, and some guy named Michael Raymond-James in the part that should have gone to Kevin Corrigan. But it is just 13 episodes, not too much investment if you don’t like the ending.
I would add Midsomer Murders and possible Inspector Morse to the list of mysteries. These are both British series and well worth the time to watch. Both are 90 minutes per episode, also. I much prefer the British cop shows to American ones, but I am not sure why.
You should watch Daredevil. It is extremely well done. It tells a season long story but does leave some plot threads because it is an on going series (which has been renewed so no worries about being left hanging).
This will be divisive but I would recommend Lost. The ending was disappointing for some (many?) but at the time I found it satisfying and the journey you take there is worthwhile.
Death in Paradise is an old-fashioned murder mystery of the British cozy variety. The detective finds the clues then puts all the suspects in a room to explain who the murderer is.*
The show is ongoing, but there is no story arc, so there’s nothing that carries over. Season three was just put up.
The Miss Fisher Mysteries are the same. There was a story arc in the first season, but they’ve gone back to individual episodes.
The entire series of Misfits is available for free on Hulu if you don’t mind watching it on your computer. While it is only very good toward the end, the first two seasons are excellent.
*They wink at this trope in the third season.
This is the one I thought of first. Excellent show, and damnable to have been killed off after one season. It’s worth the time as long as you don’t get too caught up in it and thus join the ranks of people (like me) who bitch at the idiots who cancelled it!
