Scavengers Reign

Animated speculative sci-fi with strong worldbuilding and a weirder imagination than most prestige SF.

Sugar

Noir detective structure with a genre wrinkle and a sensibility that feels adjacent to your crime/strangeness overlap.

The Lazarus Project

Time-loop espionage, moral pressure, and speculative plotting — very plausible fit.

Bodies

Time-spanning conspiracy/mystery structure that fits your taste for long-arc puzzle storytelling.

Constellation

A little more cerebral and mood-heavy, but it scratches the identity / reality-slippage itch.

The Devil’s Hour

Dark, twisty, and structurally ambitious without feeling like homework.

Counterpart

Probably the single cleanest “James show you may have missed”: espionage + parallel-world sci-fi + adult competence.

Patriot

Dry, strange, melancholy spy storytelling with a very distinct voice.

Utopia

Paranoid conspiracy energy, formal boldness, and a willingness to get strange and ugly.

Rubicon

A low-key conspiracy thriller that leans heavily on intelligence work, paranoia, and institutional atmosphere.

Continuum

A cleaner old-school sci-fi fit if you want procedural momentum wrapped around time-travel politics.

Person of Interest

Starts procedural and then quietly becomes one of the smartest AI / surveillance shows on television.

Bad Sisters

Darkly funny, well-observed, and ensemble-driven in a way that plausibly overlaps with Hacks / Derry Girls / Mare of Easttown energy.

Detectorists

Gentle, funny, humane, and specific — a softer shared-watch possibility.

Astrid et Raphaëlle

French procedural with a strong central duo and exactly the kind of foreign-crime appeal Maggie may share with you.

Somebody Somewhere

A warmer character-driven recommendation if the shared overlap leans more Bear / Good Place than pure detective work.
