Crime thriller fan shares seven TV series people 'need' to watch now

One streaming fan has shared seven gripping TV crime thrillers that are a must watch for all fans of the genre - and they are all on Netflix and Disney Plus
Fed up with endlessly scrolling through Netflix and Disney Plus only to find yourself indecisive about what to watch next?
It can become a tedious task to choose your next binge-worthy series, but it helps when other people share their recommendations. Should you be on the prowl for some riveting new crime thrillers for your watchlist, you're in luck.
‌
A TV fan has uncovered seven series they think fellow crime thriller fans 'need to watch'. And some of them are the 'best' people have seen.
‌
Fi, a content creator from Manchester, through her @apartmentintheclouds TikTok account, has shared her top seven recommendations. She started with The Lincoln Lawyer from Netflix, an outstanding US legal drama adapted from Michael Connelly's books.
The plot weaves around defence solicitor Mickey Haller, essayed by Manuel Garca-Rulfo, who operates his practice from the backseat of his Lincoln Town Car covering Los Angeles. Fi gushed: "Absolutely loved this show! Great cast and good story lines."
Fi also suggested trying Under the Bridge, a hard-hitting crime drama inspired by Rebecca Godfrey's 2005 book on a harrowing true story. The series tackles the mystery of 14-year-old Reena Virk who disappeared post attending a party in 1997. The show, which is streaming on Disney Plus, delves into the secret world of the young girls who were accused of the murder. Fi said: "Based on a true event, acting 10/10, quite serious."
Castle, available to stream on Disney Plus, is a crime series about charismatic novelist Rick Castle (played by Nathan Fillion) who joins forces with NYPD detective Kate Beckett (portrayed by Stana Katic) to crack murder cases. Together, they navigate a realm of homicide with growing camaraderie.
Fi enthused: "Such a good show, loads of seasons, light-hearted at times, if you like police mystery drama you'll love this!".
‌
Scandal, which is available on Disney Plus, follows Olivia Pope, a former media consultant to the president. She opens her own crisis-management firm after leaving the White House. On her first day she has to deal with an accusation against the president. Fi said: "I am OBSESSED with this show, seen it so many times. If you like political drama murder mystery, definitely watch this!"
The People v OJ Simpson: American Crime story revolves around the OJ Simpson murder trial, including the legal teams' battle to convict or acquit the American football legend. The drama series is based on the book The Run Of His Life: The People v. O.J. Simpson by Jeffrey Toobin, which looks at the behind-the-scenes dealings of both sides of the case, which he was found not guilty of in 1995.
‌
It stars Cuba Gooding Jr as OJ Simpson, John Travolta as defence attorney Robert Shapiro, David Schwimmer as defence attorney Robert Kardashian, Sarah Paulson as prosecutor Marcia Clark and Courtney B Vance as Johnnie Cochran. Fi said: "Based on true events, really enjoyed this!"
How to Get Away with Murder on Disney Plus stars Viola Davis as Professor Annalise Keating, who gets entangled with four law students from her class. They get involved in a complex murder plot. Fi said: "LOVE this show. Viola Davis is incredible, great murder mystery, have watched this so many times!"
Lastly, Fi recommended Dexter, which follows Dexter Morgan, a forensics expert who leads a secret life as a serial killer who only targets murderers. About the show, which is streaming on Netflix, Fi said: "A classic, creepy, weird, lots of drama. Always a 10/10 for me."

Brit tourist seething as influencer makes absurd request to little girl in pool

The outrageous actions of a content creator seeking the perfect social media image in Thailand have led a Brit tourist to brand her a 'b****' A British holidaymaker has hit out at influencer culture for going too far as she urged content creators to let children play. The comments from @carlyleighgyally on TikTok came as she sunned herself by a beautiful pool in a resort in Thailand. ‌ Carly turned to her social media to express her outrage after a young child who was playing with her dad in the water was asked to move so an influencer could get a perfect picture. She explained: "This family's here and there's an adults only pool literally 50 metres round the corner where there are no children. ‌ "This little girl who's playing with her dad in the pool, she's on his shoulders, she's the best swimmer I've ever had in my life and she's like five. I think it's really wholesome and sweet." But when a woman arrived and set herself up with a tripod, she wasn't happy that the stunning backdrop to the beautiful pool - a lush green landscape - was being "spoiled" by the family playing in it. "This f***** influencer pointed to the edge of the pool and was like: 'Can you go over there?'," raged the TikTokker. "'F*** off'. If you want a private pool to film content... go rent a villa." Much to the dismay of the holidaymaker, the "wholesome" family had moved when told and were now not fully enjoying themselves. "Now they're really uncomfortable at the side of the pool, they're not doing what they were doing anymore," she said. "I'm so annoyed at this b****." ‌ This unnamed influencer isn't the only one to annoy the public - earlier this year another content creator was slammed for asking a 12-year-old boy enjoying the sea view from Bondi's famous Icebergs Pool in Australia to move so she could pose. TikTok users were quick to agree with Carly this time around, with one telling her: "My partner makes it his mission to cannonball all influencer shots". Another jaw dropping influencer story was shared in response to her video from a TikTokker called Jen, who said: "My fiance proposed to me on holiday and had paid for the hotel to set up an area with flowers, candles and MARRY ME lights. The area was blocked off with a sign saying 'private event'. "After he proposed, we sat drinking champagne and these two influencers came over and started taking photos next to us! One of them even moved the private event sign out of the way! So I told them where to go." "Influencers in the wild are the worst people ever," added Carly of her original video. "You can't tell children to move, it is the worst humanly thing I've ever seen anyone do."

‘Finally' big busted girls praise Primark's new saucy matching £8 underwear sets and they now go up to size 44H

FINDING the perfect bra is tough enough as it is, but anyone with a big bust knows what a challenge it really is. Not only that, but as your cup size goes up the options usually get more boring and beige. 3 3 That's why Primark has extended it's size range so even more can feel confident in their saucy lingerie. Posting on TikTok, the high street shop revealed their range now goes up to a size 44H - and not just for boring T-shirt bras. Shoppers can get their hands on stunning lace sets, including a pink, non-padded matching set, complete with floral details. The best part? Prices start from just £8. In the viral clip Primark also showed off another stunning set which had been specially designed for bigger busts. The sleek and sexy design incorporates wide straps, foam-moulded cups and wider supportive bands - what's not to love? After showing off the new stock fashion fans were keen to get their hands on the stunning bras before they sold out. One said: "About time! I'm a G and felt left out." "Can we do the same for bikinis please," a second commented. And a third chimed in: "Bought a few now and they're lush." Shoppers race to Primark for 'dressy top' that's perfect for a pair of jeans - it's sexy & flattering & in two colours Meanwhile, other busty women shared a few other suggestions, including smaller back sized for bigger cups. "I want smaller bands, bigger cups," one wrote. "Trouble is no one with larger boobs needs extra padding, I don't understand the logic on this," another pointed out. And others begged Primark to offer a wider range of underwear as part of their matching sets too. One said: "Can you please do something other than thongs, maybe a Brazilian or a brief to go with these?" The bras aren't only option Primark has released recently that people have been rushing to get their hands on. Earlier this month the high street chain has just released a cropped bandeau ribbed top for £8. While the price alone will be enough to tempt many people, it's the extra feature which is also proving to be popular with fashion fans. That's because the summer top has a built-in bra for a more seamless look. The retailer promised this bonus feature offers an "effortless and supportive fit". Describing it online, the Primark team said: "Keep it simple and supportive with this bandeau top with a built-in bra. "Made from a soft cotton blend fabric, it hugs your shape with a close-fitting, bodycon style. "The strapless design and built-in bra give you support without the fuss of extra layers." Why Primark is great for looking expensive on a budget By Clemmie Feildsend, Fabulous Fashion Editor AS someone who's no stranger to grabbing a last-minute outfit from Primark for a night out, it's about time that celebrities started catching on too. For as long as I've been heading out, Primark has been my go-to for those 'I have nothing to wear' moments, rushing in at the last minute to find something perfect. And I'm definitely not alone - on any Friday or Saturday night, you'll find plenty of shoppers doing the same thing, right before closing time. But no matter what, Primark always delivers. Now, Rita Ora is leading the charge, showing that you can snag a designer-worthy look without spending a fortune at high-end stores. While Rita's not rushing in last minute for a red carpet outfit, she's proving you can achieve the same high-impact style for much less. Looking stunning in her tailored suit alongside her mum Vera, Rita fit right in among the other A-listers dripping in Prada, Dior, and Victoria Beckham - if anything, she looked even better than some of the guests at The Fashion Awards. With Myleene Klass and Roxy Horner already jumping on the Primark bandwagon, I'm sure more stars will be following suit soon enough.
