Since 2000, the cutting-edge series that changed the normal police show from “whodunnit” to “howdunnit”, has kept a faithful following throughout over the years. Whether it’s the Crime Scene Investigation team in Miami, New York, Las Vegas or Los Angeles, the ingenuity and innovation of unraveling crime cases, will leave you amazed.

Hannibal
It’s a type of spin-off from the Silence of The Lambs – but when we use the word spin-off, it no way cheapens this outstanding piece of art. The sophisticated journey of cannibalism and murder, includes corpses piled onto nightmarish totem poles, men swallowing songbirds (whole!) and an ability to make you crave something you would have initially found disgusting.

Orphan Black
Is sci-fi your thing? Then clones should be too – and who better to be replicated, than the talented, Tatiana Maslany. There’s the street-smart, Sarah, the microbiologist, Cosima, soccer mum Alison and assassin, Helena. It’s truly incredible as the actress pulls off all these dynamic characters who come with their very own accents and wardrobe. The storyline is equally complex; they all find their way into each other’s lives due to a deadly conspiracy.
Watch them fight for their lives.
