5 Best Detective TV Series to Binge if You Liked 'All Her Fault', Ranked by IMDb
Projects with unexpected twists, complex characters, and an atmosphere that is impossible to tear yourself away from.
All Her Fault became a streaming hit that offers a twisted detective story and a profound exploration of maternal responsibility and victim blaming.
The creators subvert familiar clichés by focusing on the kidnapper's motivation and the psychological pressure the mother endures rather than on the search for the criminal.
We've recalled five equally captivating TV series in this genre.
5. 'I Will Find You', 2026
IMDb Score: 7.1/10
David Burroughs is serving a life sentence for brutally murdering his three-year-old son, Matthew. He maintains his innocence, but the evidence against him is enough to drive his entire family away.
For the first time in a long while, David receives a visitor: his former daughter-in-law, Rachel, who is a journalist. She shows him a photo she found on social media in which a boy with the same birthmark as Matthew is in the background.
4. 'Under the Bridge', 2024
IMDb Score: 7.2/10
The plot is based on the book of the same name by Rebecca Godfrey, which was inspired by the true story of Reena Virk, an Indian teenager. Reena moved to British Columbia with her family and struggled to assimilate for a long time.
Her desire to make friends eventually led her to a marginalized group of teenagers who ended up bullying her. One day, she went out for a walk and never returned.
Showrunner Quinn Shephard extensively reworked the novel, transforming the nonlinear plot into a chronologically consistent one. Without unnecessary melodrama, the series tells one of the most horrific stories of teenage cruelty.
3. 'Trust', 2018
IMDb Score: 7.5/10
The miniseries is based on the true story of the 1973 kidnapping of John Paul Getty, heir to the Getty Oil fortune. His grandfather refused to pay the kidnappers, and his father drowned his sorrows in alcohol.
Ultimately, his mother, Gail, negotiated with the mafia holding John captive.
Danny Boyle directed all episodes of Trust, and Simon Beaufoy wrote the show. Despite its TV format, Trust offers a more dynamic portrayal of the events than Ridley Scott's All the Money in the World, which is also based on this episode in the Getty family's history.
2. 'The Chestnut Man', 2021-...
IMDb Score: 7.6/10
The show is based on the novel of the same name by Søren Sveistrup, the Danish author and screenwriter behind the cult classic The Killing. However, The Chestnut Man hasn't quite reached The Killing's level of popularity, maintaining its status as a hidden gem on Netflix.
The show begins with the brutal murder of a woman. In her home, the police discover a creepy, chestnut-haired figurine bearing the fingerprints of a girl who disappeared a year ago.
As the investigation unfolds, it is revealed that the missing girl was the daughter of a prominent politician, and her body was never found. Two detectives take on the complex case.
1. 'The Missing', 2014-2016
IMDb Score: 8.1/10
The Missing focuses not only on the investigation of a missing child, but also on the psychological state of the victim's parents.
Showrunners Harry and Jack Williams strive to surprise even the most sophisticated viewers – even the most seasoned detective fans will find something new here.
The Missing has two seasons. The first one follows a British family, a couple and their five-year-old son, as they travel to the World Cup in France. After the game, the boy suddenly disappears, prompting his panicked parents to report him missing to the local police.
