Female lead crime shows💓🔪 (and where to watch)

First off, all of these are entire finished series, no cliff hangers they all can be watched til the end!

Claws: Amazing 10/10 my favorite show of all time I could not recommend strongly enough, honestly more comparable to Breaking Bad or Ozark. It follows Desna (Niecy Nash) and her girl crew navigating laundering money thru the mob in the most insane edge of your seat way. Amazing characters all very morally grey you will absolutely love and hate every single one of them at one time or another.

HTGAWM: I know this is already a pretty popular one but if you haven’t seen it watch it. It follows Defense Attorney/Professor Annalise Keating (Viola Davis) and her 5 law interns simultaneously learning and breaking🪓;) the law all at the same time.

Why Women Kill:

I love this show so much Season 1 follows three storylines about a husband and wife placed in ~about the 1950s , 1980s , and 2019. Spoiler not spoiler all of which end in a murder, you follow along and see the marriage unravel each taking an unexpected turn.

Season Two stars only one story line (just as juicy don’t worry) about a housewife willing to do ANYTHING to join her community’s prestigious garden club, husband has his own interesting storyline as well. The show was canceled after this season but it is a standalone story so no cliffhangers.

Let me know if you’ve seen any of these/which ones your favorite!!
