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!
