Led by Michelle Keegan and Douglas Booth, it follows the murder of a teenage skater, which not only draws detectives down a dark, treacherous path, but also forces them to investigate their own team. The call is coming from
inside the house, as the kids say. DI Emma Clare (Keegan) is not just the
only member of the force to work out what's really going on, but she's the only person brave enough to call out (the fictional) Wakestead police force
on its biggest issue: misogyny. Latest Videos From TechRadar Watch full video here: What Stars Watch Everyone gets stuck on what to watch next so lets
make that choice easier with the help of your favorite actors. What Stars Watch pairs the latest TV shows and movies with cinematic classics or underrated gems, based on A-List tastes. Read the full series here . I won't lie to you, it's a really difficult watch. The Blame 's approach to its subject matter is incredible heavy-handed, but I think it needs to be. However, if you need some time out or to swap to a crime drama that doesn't feel as bitingly real I've got you covered.

In fact, Keegan and Booth are the ones that have you covered. If you're looking for more of the same vibe, they've got the perfect recommendation for you to stream next. Not only can you watch it for free, but there's a hidden link between the two shows.

It has another great female lead at the heart of it."

To me, that's an understatement. The UK market is flush with cimpeccable
crime dramas , but Sally Wainwright's Happy Valley might just be the best of the 21st century so far (at least, it is according to me).

Available to stream for free on BBC iPlayer or on Netflix internationally, we follow West Yorkshire police sergeant Catherine Cawood (Sarah Lancashire) as she balances local crime in Calderdale with her fierce pursuit of Tommy Lee Royce (James Norton), the violent criminal she holds responsible for her daughter's suicide.

It's fast-paced, quintessentially Yorkshire, and gritty at every turn to the point where it's almost unbelievable what one woman can physically and mentally endure.

"We had Lisa Farrand, who was a police advisor," Keegan explained. "She was with us for the interrogation and investigation scenes, where we were out looking for the body, things like that. She was brilliant. Very matter of fact, and if something wasn't working, she would pull it up straight away, speak to the director, and sort of steer us and help navigate the scene.

"She worked on Happy Valley and actually Catherine Cawood was loosely based
on her. She's a real character... a tough cookie."

If Catherine Cawood herself isn't a good enough sign of a crime drama being unmissable, I don't know what is. Maybe give yourself some breathing space in between them both, though.
