Hey friends!
I hope you're all well, today's post is all about CRIME. Well, crime shows! I don't know if I've talked about this much, but over the last few years, I've found myself to be more and more intrigued and interested in the whole crime world!
It is 100% not something I would expect because trust me, I was that hardcore rom-com, korean/taiwanese drama girl. I remember the days where I would fall head over heels with characters from Boys Over Flowers, You're Beautiful and even Dream High! Nowadays, I struggle to actually watch these shows but I find myself crazy-binging on crime series.
1. The Mentalist

This series is based around an ex-conman (Jane) who has amazing people skills where he uses his observation and negotiation skills as a consultant to help the CBI solve crimes. There are seven seasons to this series with 151 episodes! It has a great mix of humour and storyline to the series where every episode brings a different crime while having a long-running backstory that slowly unfolds through the seasons, bringing to light why the main character is who he is and how he moved from being a con-man to working for the CBI.

My favourite is actually the second main character called Theresa, she is a badass lead cop and she not only is the only one that knows how to handle Jane through his different tricks and questionable morals!

3. Elementary

Okay, I know there are tons and tons of Sherlock Holmes remake and it is not easy to trump Benedict Cumberbatch's role of Sherlock BUT, Elementary does it for me pretty well. Surrounding a power duo of an ex-drug addict (Holmes) with inquisitive crime solving skills and a partner (Watson), a former surgeon and the only person who can keep Holmes grounded, they take on challenging cases as consultants to the NYPD.

4. Lie To Me

This series is more focused on human behaviour, micro-expressions and other body language to determine if a party is guilty. There is not much focus on the crime and the story behind it but more of some kind of educational series where you get to learn how to read someone's thoughts without them saying a word. And I get that it is mostly fictional, the kind of facial features and cues that are pointed out can actually be related to real life - if for some reason that you might need to know that? It is based around an English man who is a leading deception researcher who helps the police and other parties discover what the truth is.

And there you have it! My five favourite crime series and as you can tell, I'm rather obsessed with human behaviour and how people can use it to solve crimes and if you have anything like that to recommend, be it books, films or series, please let me know!
