5 Dark Crime Shows to Watch If You Like Nocturne, From Mindhunter to True Detective | TVLine

Studying Serial Killers

Netflix’s “Mindhunter” follows fictional FBI agents Holden Ford, played by Jonathan Groff, and Bill Tench, played by Holt McCallany. Beginning in the late 1970s, they interview convicted serial killers to understand their behavior and help catch others.

The series features real-life killers including Edmund Kemper, played by Cameron Britton, and Charles Manson, played by Damon Herriman. Its focus on tense interviews and the psychological toll of studying killers connects with “Nocturne’s” investigation of Jurek Walter.

Manipulation And Suspicion

NBC’s “Hannibal” centers on psychiatrist and serial killer Hannibal Lecter, played by Mads Mikkelsen, and FBI profiler Will Graham, played by Hugh Dancy. Hannibal works with Will on investigations while manipulating him and taking advantage of his fragile mental state.

As Will begins to suspect the man he trusts, their relationship becomes a psychological contest between hunter and prey. The series’ tension comes from Hannibal’s influence as well as physical violence.

Cases And Complicated Investigators

The first season of HBO’s “True Detective” follows Louisiana detectives Rust Cohle, played by Matthew McConaughey, and Marty Hart, played by Woody Harrelson. Their lives become intertwined as they investigate grisly murders linked to a mysterious cult.
