The detective genre is loved for its intrigue, but in these series, what matters more are the characters who play by their own rules, investigations that go too far, and an atmosphere that is hard to forget. And importantly, each project has an 'Emmy', and the ratings speak for themselves.
"The Wire" (2002–2008)
The Baltimore police have been on a years-long hunt for a drug network through wiretapping, but it quickly becomes clear: the street is just the lower level of the system. The trails lead to officials, businesses, and those who prefer to stay in the shadows. IMDb Rating - 9.3.
"Twin Peaks" (1990–1991)
The murder of Laura Palmer marks the beginning of an investigation that quickly turns into a dive into the strange world of a small town. FBI agent Dale Cooper encounters mysteries that cannot be explained by ordinary logic. IMDb Rating - 8.7.
"Dexter" (2006–2013)
Miami police forensic expert Dexter Morgan helps solve murders by day, while at night he eliminates criminals that the system could not punish. The viewer has to witness the hero's double life and understand: he is too smart to get caught and too dangerous to justify. IMDb Rating - 8.6.
