What TV shows are people watching?

I like a lot of dark stuff, a lot of crime drama. I'm currently catching up with a British series, Red Riding, from 2009, based on the novels by David Peace, on AmzPrime. Peace's books and the tv series are fictionalized accounts of police investigations into crimes against women and children from the mid-'70s to the '80s, set against the backdrop of the Yorkshire Ripper murders. The stories focus on corruption in the Yorkshire police department, seen through the lens of a news journalist, police detectives, and a lawyer who all play a part in the investigation into the abduction, murder and sexual assault of women and children in Yorkshire, possibly covered up by police officials in the pockets of organized crime. Dark and depressing, for sure, but that's usually most of my viewing material.
