The good news for fans of Maggie Q‘s new crime drama Ballard is that it’s a hit out of the gate for Amazon Prime Video.
That means this Bosch spinoff is probably going to get a second season. But since Prime Video dropped all 10 episodes at once, what are you going to watch when it’s over?
Fortunately, the Watch With Us team has you covered with three shows to watch if you liked Bosch.
Amazon Prime Video may not have intentionally meant to drop two fantastic detective shows so closely together, but we’ll take it. Ballard debuted on Prime Video last week, and it’s already No. 1 on Amazon’s charts. BBC’s Sherlock hasn’t hit the same highs on Prime Video, but that British mystery series is a masterpiece thanks […]
‘Long Bright River’ (2025)
Amanda Seyfried is at the center of Long Bright River as Mickey Fitzpatrick, a police officer in Philadelphia. Mickey’s been on the force a long time, but it’s not really her place to be looking into the murders of three local women in the Kensington neighborhood.
However, Mickey’s interest in the case is more than just personal. Her sister, Kacey Fitzpatrick (Ashleigh Cummings), has gone missing, and trying to solve the murders may be her way of coping with that potential loss. This is one of Seyfried’s best roles to date, and the show’s central mystery will keep you as hooked as Ballard‘s case-of-the-week plots.
Long Bright River is streaming on Peacock.
‘Crossing Jordan’ (2001 – 2007)
Jill Hennessy made her name on Law & Order before NBC gave her a crime drama of her own. Crossing Jordan features Hennessy as Dr. Jordan Cavanaugh, a forensic pathologist who somewhat oversteps her role in order to help the police solve murder cases.
Peacock may have a high turnover rate for films, but it’s still got a killer lineup of thrillers to watch this month. Most notable, Peacock will soon be the streaming home for Drop, a critically acclaimed thriller that debuted in theaters earlier this year. You can find that film alongside the rest of the Watch […]
Before he became a leading actor, Mahershala Ali played one of Jordan’s colleagues, Dr. Trey Sanders, in season 1. Jordan does have her own team of confidants to turn to for support, but one of the most prominent was Detective Woody Hoyt (Jerry O’Connell). NBC aired six seasons and 117 episodes of this show during its run, and it’s ripe for a very long binge-watch.
Crossing Jordan is streaming on Prime Video.
‘Mare of Easttown’ (2021)
HBO’s Mare of Easttown has an outstanding cast of supporting players, including Jean Smart, Guy Pearce, Evan Peters, Angourie Rice, Julianne Nicholson and Cailee Spaeny. But it’s carried by an Emmy-winning performance by Kate Winslet as Marianne “Mare” Sheehan, a detective sergeant in Easttown, Pennsylvania.
Mare is kind of a local celebrity thanks to her heroics in a high school basketball game 25 years ago. In the present, Mare has been unable to find a missing girl for over a year and the community has lost faith in her. Mare is also dealing with a nasty divorce, the death of her son and a custody battle for her young grandson, Drew, with the boy’s mother, Carrie Layden (Sosie Bacon). That’s enough pressure to crush anyone, but Mare still has a job to do.
Mare of Easttown is streaming on HBO Max.
