The BEST MYSTERY Shows of all time --

Crimes have been the focus of storytelling for most of history.... & who doesn't love a good mystery? Especially when that mystery can be solved over the course of an evening or two sitting in your living room, watching series.  

Everyone has a different reason for an obsession with shows depicting some of the darkest moments of life. Some may appreciate the clever storytelling of the best shows, which give enough clues to solve the case. Others may find digging into the dark minds of serial killers intriguing. Some of the true crime fans admit they worry that they’ll be victims of crimes themselves. Others simply like seeing law enforcement bring the bad guys to justice at the end of every episode.

Do vote for the show which got your blood pumping-- ranked from best to worst 

Suspense and surprise await.
