Apple TV has increasingly become one of the best streamers for thriller series. Here are two big new crime thrillers airing now, and a preview of three more series right around the corner.
Down Cemetery Road and The Last Frontier offer differing takes on the crime thriller
This week, Apple debuted a new detective series from the author behind Slow Horses.
Down Cemetery Road stars Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson and shares a lot in common with the popular Gary Oldman-starring espionage thriller.
Both series, in addition to being based on novels by Mick Herron, also share writer Morwenna Banks. Viewers will find a lot of similar thematic balance of heavy subject matter lightened by British humor.
Reviews so far are very positive, especially in praising leads Thompson and Wilson.
Whereas Down Cemetery Road leans into the detective/mystery angle of a crime thriller, The Last Frontier offers something different.
The Last Frontier stars Jason Clarke as a U.S. Marshal in rural Alaska who has a plane full of violent inmates crash and get set loose in his jurisdiction.
The series is from The Blacklist creator Jon Bokenkamp and laden with action sequences and high-octane thrills.
Both series are full of twists, and are still early in their rollouts, making it easy to get caught up and join other viewers watching week to week.
