Summary
Streaming a slow-burning thriller can be an excellent way for audiences to spend time on the story and its characters, examining the nuances of both, says the author.
Some of the best slow-burning thrillers include Untamed, Slow Horses, Presumed Innocent, The Wire, The Hunting Wives, Bloodline, and Adolescence.
Untamed, for example, combines the elements of a murder mystery and the drama of a national park, with a central role for El Capitan.
Slower Horses is a character-driven series with an misfit group of MI5 agents, headed by Gary Oldman.
Presumed Innocent, the series follows Rusty Sabich, played by Jake Gyllenhaal, a high-profile Chicago prosecutor who becomes the chief suspect in the murder of his colleague.
The Hunting Wives, based on the 2021 thriller by May Cobb, is a comedy-drama that has everything one would want in a binge-worthy mystery, headlined by a cast of sometimes crazy characters.
Bloodline follows the Rayburn family and their secrets over three seasons of deceit and drama.
