Crime and mystery series always captivate with intriguing plots. And if you’re looking for something great but not a 5–10 season commitment, opt for shorter miniseries.
RBC-Ukraine has compiled a list of 5 crime and mystery miniseries that are impossible to stop watching until the early hours.
Murdaugh: Death in the Family
A true story that feels scarier than any fictional thriller.

At the center is a murder case that gradually unravels a chain of dark events spanning years. This is a true-crime series that leaves a lingering sense of unease long after watching.
We Were Liars

The series slowly unravels a web of lies, trauma, and secrets, making viewers question every character. It’s a psychological drama with a growing sense of anxiety that intensifies with each episode.
Nine Perfect Strangers
Nine people arrive at a wellness retreat, hoping to reset their lives. But instead of peace, they encounter experiments, manipulation, and the gradual unveiling of deep personal traumas. The series keeps viewers on edge with an atmosphere of psychological games, where it’s never clear who is the victim and who is orchestrating this strange healing.
Sirens
A dark and stylish story about crime, female solidarity, and dangerous secrets. The series walks the line between thriller and drama, gradually revealing how the past can destroy the present. There are no clear-cut heroes here, but there is a constant sense of threat and questions you do not want answers to, yet cannot help but seek.
