Looking for modern “consultant helps police” crime shows (like High Potential / The Irrational)
Hey everyone,
I’m looking for modern crime shows (preferably 2018+) with this specific format:
- one case per episode
- someone with a special ability / genius mind
- not a police officer, but helping the police
- similar vibe to The Mentalist, Castle, Lie to Me
- not too dark or brutal
- no hospital/medical shows
Basically those classic “consultant” procedurals – but newer ones.
Shows I’ve already seen:
- The Mentalist
- Castle
- Lie to Me
- High Potential
- The Irrational
- Limitless
- Forever
- Fringe
- The Finder
- Will Trent
- Psych
- Elementary
- Deception
- Perception
- Instinct
- Harrow
(and most of the older classics in this genre)
Not looking for:
- one long case over a whole season
- very dark / depressing shows
- medical/hospital settings
Would love some recommendations 🙏
especially newer or underrated shows I might have missed!
