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.
