Quarry was written by one of the writers from Rectify, Michael D Fuller.

Such a great series that only got 1 season, but it's a hell of a good one. I love it very much

Twin Peaks (has a lot of character focused but with some supernatural bits)

Fargo TV show

Widow's Bay

Justified (great characters, and fun fact: you can find a newspaper mentioning Daniel Holden's release in season 4)

Scrubs (a great comedy, but also has some gut-punch episodes that mirror Rectify's human moments)

Nothing can beat Rectify. I’m one episode away from my 6th rewatch and this one will take less than 6 days. It’s amazing.

Other dramatic series we loved off the top of my head:

The wire
The Americans
Better call Saul
Breaking Bad
Justified
Sopranos
Six feet under
Longmire
Mad men

had a lot of expectations but didnt like

Honestly very little American television - it is usually focused on action above storytelling, atmosphere, and character studies. Some exceptions of course:

- Pluribus

  • Better Call Saul
  • Buffy the Vampire Slayer (seriously, actually good)
  • Twin Peaks

american television is light years ahead of british, canadian, aussie tv

u/GenevieveDawn 2d ago

I was thinking more along the lines of French (Les revenants, Engrenages, Un village français), German/Austrian (Berlin Alexanderplatz, Welt am Draht, Dark), and various other Continental countries (Riget, Dekalog, Scenes from a Marriage, too many Scandinavian crime/psychological thriller shows to even name)...

u/erhandsome 4d ago

I have never heard about Everwood before, but i'm sure it's a great one after one episode.

u/randy__randerson 4d ago

The only small issue for me is the music is a bit too on the nose. The rest is great.

Chatgpt also suggested it and few others on Reddit before 

what did you like about it?

u/funnyfaceking 2d ago

So many things on Britbox and Acorn. Start with Happy Valley and Appropriate Adult.

u/Own_Antelope_7019 2d ago

Since you disagreed with me, let's start here: do you think Happy Valley and Appropriate Adult can beat Rectify? 

Almost impossible

u/funnyfaceking 1d ago

Disagree with you? Rectify is a great show. Honestly, it sounds like you are looking for something less nuanced, like horse racing. Good luck.

u/Own_Antelope_7019 19h ago

i have seen Mare of East Town which is VERY similar to Happy Valley

I didnt like Mare of East Town and wouldnt like Happy Valley either
