Grace

ITVX • Mar 29 • 2021
DramaCrime

Dead Simple, opens with Grace running inquiries into long forgotten cold cases with little or no prospect of success. He's fixated by the disappearance of his wife, Sandy, which haunts his thoughts. His unorthodox police methods have come under scrutiny once again, and Grace is walking a career tightrope and risks being moved from the job he loves most. With so much at stake, his colleague Detective Sergeant Glenn Branson knows he has more to give and asks him for help with a case. When a stag night prank appears to go wrong and the groom goes missing, Branson calls on Grace to unravel events that led to the mysterious disappearance of a successful property developer with everything to live for. Is this a case of stag night shenanigans gone wrong or something more sinister?

Why This Pick

Grace delivers slow-burn crime dread where a detective’s missing-wife obsession bleeds into every decision, turning procedure into personal pressure. Made in Korea’s ambition-versus-law friction feels familiar in the way institutional constraints and moral compromises tighten around the protagonist, but Grace stays colder and more methodical.

A Shop for Killers poster

A Shop for Killers

Disney+ • Sep 16 • 2024
DramaMystery

An action drama in which a niece who lost her parents and grew up in the hands of an uncle who runs a shopping mall, faces a new truth after her uncle's sudden death.

Why This Pick

A Shop for Killers traps grief and betrayal inside a contained mall setting, using flashbacks to ratchet danger while secrets surface in bursts. Made in Korea’s cumulative, confrontational build toward a life-altering truth matches the escalating reveals and family-centered stakes, but this one leans more into mystery mechanics and sudden action spikes.
