In particular, I’ve picked up some crime dramas that have recently added new seasons. New seasons that are getting perfect Rotten Tomatoes scores.DeadlochAmazonThe first show is Deadloch, the Australian murder mystery comedy, which has returned for its second season almost three years after the first. In fact, both seasons have 100% Rotten Tomatoes scores, and I certainly do recommend watching both of them. But even after three years and forgetting most of what happened, I’ve also found you can leap right into season 2 without much backstory if you just want to do the current one.Deadloch pairs together polar opposite detectives, the straight-laced Dulcie with the foul-mouthed and just generally foul Eddie, two women with a complicated working relationship given their clashing personalities. But both are good at solving crimes, and here in season 2, Eddie is reluctantly stuck in her hometown when an arm turns up in the mouth of a dead alligator, and many more body parts arrive over time.The show is hilarious. Easily the funniest crime series I’ve ever seen, and with a compelling mystery layered on top of it at the same time. Its perfect scores make total sense as you wade through the series, and I highly recommend it. You can find it on Amazon Prime Video.MORE FOR YOUThe Chestnut Man: Hide and SeekNetflixThe second show is The Chestnut Man: Hide...
