A Good Girl's Guide to Murder and 4 more TV crime dramas to watch in August 2024

As a dedicated gamer and crime drama enthusiast, I can’t help but get excited about the upcoming return of my favorite TV shows. But with broadcast TV taking a break in August, it can be challenging to find new content to fill the void. Fear not, fellow crime drama fans! Streaming platforms have once again come to our rescue, offering us some intriguing and suspenseful new additions to keep us entertained.

1) Approaching soon are the comebacks of our beloved TV crime series on mainstream channels. A significant number of these shows will resume airing in September, generating excitement among viewers. As this time approaches, many find themselves pondering their next television choice.

1. Here’s some fantastic news: Streaming services cater to all our needs! August brings several exciting premieres, one of which is an adaptation from the well-loved book trilogy by Holly Jackson. In case you’re struggling with what to watch next, allow us to provide five compelling crime drama recommendations for this month.

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder

On August 1st, we kick off with the launch of “A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder,” a captivating adaptation from Holly Jackson’s novel of the same name. The story revolves around Pip, who suspects that the man accused of murder, Sal, is innocent. She delves deep into investigating the local murder case for her school project.

Working alongside Sal’s brother, they uncover the truth about the tragic night when a young girl vanished. Yet, this investigation is challenging, leading to harm for individuals close to her, even resulting in the death of a family member.

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder is coming to Netflix on Thursday, Aug. 1.

Daughters

As someone who has spent years working in the world of documentary production, I must admit that “Daughters” is a unique and thought-provoking series that stands out from the typical shows we usually feature. The lives of these young girls, whose fathers are incarcerated, offer a perspective that is both heartbreaking and inspiring. Preparing for a father-daughter dance may seem like a simple event to some, but for these girls, it’s a precious moment that brings hope, love, and the reminder of a bond that remains unbroken by prison walls. Through this docuseries, we get an intimate look into their lives and the challenges they face every day. It’s a powerful reminder that behind every prison sentence, there are families and lives that continue to move forward in their own way.

As a gamer, I’d put myself in the shoes of a man imprisoned in a Washington D.C. jail with a unique fatherhood program. This special initiative changes my perspective in several ways. Instead of solely focusing on my own needs or the reasons that led me to commit crimes, I now have a renewed sense of responsibility towards my child. The bonding experiences and life skills training offered through this program help me see the world from a different angle – one where being a father is not just an abstract concept, but a real and important role in my life. This newfound perspective motivates me to make better choices for myself and my family, both inside and outside the jail walls.

Daughters is on Netflix on Wednesday, Aug. 14.

Only Murders in the Building

Absolutely, the fourth installment of “Only Murders in the Building” is a must-see. The narrative continues after the Season 3 cliffhanger, when someone intended to kill Charles, but ended up taking out his doppelgänger, portrayed by Jane Lynch, instead. Who harbors a grudge against Charles and seeks revenge?

1. Simultaneously, the three of them plan to travel to Hollywood. Their podcast has been adapted into a film, with several notable actors portraying their characters. This development is likely to intensify the intrigue surrounding the murder.

Only Murders in the Building Season 4 premieres on Hulu on Tuesday, Aug. 27.

The Killer

How about a gripping tale centered around a contract killer? Nathalie Emmanuel from Game of Thrones stars as a notorious assassin in the shadows, famously known as the “Queen of the Dead.” In most of her assignments, she carries out each task without fail. However, on one job, she chooses to spare a young girl’s life.

The employers have a crucial task now: protecting themselves by eliminating this witness. They’ll handle it according to their methods, while the Grim Reigning Monarch takes it upon herself to shield the young lady from harm. Her safety is worth the risk for the Queen of the Dead. The reasons behind their actions are intricate.

The Killer premieres on Peacock on Friday, Aug. 23.

Granite Harbour

To wrap it up, we’re gearing up for the second season of the captivating British TV crime drama, Granite Harbour. This time around, Lindo, Bart, and their police squad are tackling a fresh mystery. Two tragic deaths have occurred, one being the demise of Grace McFadden’s infamous fixer.
