Favorite "dark" series Premium or not?

We have enjoyed The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Dead Like Me and Dexter. 

 

Lest you think we're ghoulish, we balance it out with comedies, LOL.  It's just that news (especially here in FL - bless all the condo residents, families and 1st responders) requires mindless binging in something to take our minds off it for a little while.

 

Just finished a binge on a series that blows the above all away.  Will tell you later.

 

First...what are yours?

For starters:

 

Deadwood

Fargo

Longmire

The Bridge

Breaking Bad

Better Call Saul

Bosch

 

Many British mysteries, inc DCI Banks, Prime Suspect,

Scott & Bailey

 

I’m always watching a drama/mystery and comedy series at the same time

@denisemb  Interesting. Can’t see anything blowing The Sopranos away though.

Thanks - watched a few, but you've given me some more!

Great lists; would include Ozark (Netflix), and Line of Duty (Britbox).  There are a huge amount of dark foreign crime series on Netflix and quite a lot of Britiish ones on Britbox, if you have to time to look. The Scandinavians are  particularly good at this genre; added bonus being snow scenes to cool one off this during these miserable heat wave days.

@denisemb   You mentioned my faves!  It's been a while since I've seen any of them, but I agree that they were are terrific.  Bates Motel was unbelievably good (and creepy).  

 

The only one I can add to that list at this time is "Mary Kills People".
