Wild Cards (2024-)

Wild Cards | Official Season 1 Trailer

Hailing from Canada, Wild Cards is a little-known police procedural that fans of the genre will love. Now with two seasons under its belt, the series centers around Cole Ellis (Giacomo Gianniotti), a detective demoted to water cop duties. His first job is to transport Max Mitchell (Vanessa Morgan), a con woman, to the station for booking. But when Max helps him crack a major case, she’s offered a chance at redemption, and the duo becomes an unlikely pair.

Wild Cards tells a story that has been told many times before, but the fun dynamic between the two makes it watchable. Plus, 1990s fans will appreciate spotting Jason Priestley among the cast, while Martin Sheen also has a recurring role in the second season.

Goliath (2016-2021)

Goliath Season 2 - Official Trailer | Prime Video

Self-deprecating and down-on-his-luck characters are what Billy Bob Thornton does best, and if you love him in Landman, you’ll want to check out Goliath. The series was all but ignored during awards seasons except for a single Golden Globe win for Thornton. He convincingly plays Billy McBride, a brilliant former lawyer who drowns himself in alcohol and women after having acquitted a murder suspect who then went on to kill an entire family. But when she’s approached by small-time DUI lawyer Patty (Nina Arianda) with a case that’s out of her depth, Billy is forced back into the game.

Goliath aired for four seasons as Billy and Patty investigate and uncover more lies and deceit than they ever imagined going on behind the scenes. As the stakes are raised and the situation gets more dangerous, Billy proves just why he was once such a respected and fierce lawyer.

Teen Wolf (2011-2017)

Teen Wolf - Official Trailer

To some, Michael J. Fox will be the only Teen Wolf. But decades after the movie in which he starred as the titular character, the Teen Wolf TV series premiered with Tyler Posey donning the transformative wolf mask. The supernatural teen drama has all the elements you’d want from the genre, including coming-of-age stories, love, betrayal, and fighting creatures of all kinds.

Teen Wolf, which spawned a movie sequel in 2023 after its run, had great reviews throughout its six-season run. However, the show has been largely forgotten. It’s worth a watch or re-watch if you love other similar shows like Riverdale, Supernatural, and Locke & Key.

The world is filled with injustice, and we ignore most of it because it would be hard to go through the world otherwise. That's what can make a movie like Dark Waters feel so bracing. The film, which was released in 2019 and almost immediately became underrated, tells the story of an attorney who slowly connects a number of deaths in a small, rural town to one of the world's biggest corporations.
As he comes to appreciate the scale of the conspiracy he's uncovered, he begins to fear for his life and for the lives of millions around the world. It's a dark, bracing movie, but one well worth watching while it's available on Peacock. Here are three reasons it's worth checking out:

Dark Waters is about something relatively mundane, but it plays like a conspiracy thriller
DARK WATERS | Official Trailer | In Theaters November 22
The mystery at the heart of Dark Waters is sinister, but what makes the movie so remarkable is the way it manages to make a story about the dangers of Teflon feel like All the President's Men.
Thanks to expert direction from Todd Haynes and an impressive script, we learn everything we need to know about this dangerous material and about why DuPont was so intent on covering it up. Dark Waters is far from the first movie to tell the story of a crusading attorney fighting for disadvantaged people, but Dark Waters knows exactly where and when to defy your expectations.

It's anchored by Anne Hathaway and Mark Ruffalo
