PROVOKR loves crime shows, and the following are some of the best. They’re more about the crews that do the crime. From the Italian mob to drug smuggling and everything in between, there are the ones we are binging right now:

GOMORRAH

While you wait for this Italian series to come back, relive or watch for the first time the addictive Gomorrah. Having been shown in more than 190 countries, Gomorrah’s crime family will reel you in. The stellar pacing coupled with jaw-dropping antics will leave you wanting more seasons.

Gomorrah is available on Netflix.

ZEROZEROZERO

Gomorrah’s creator and author Roberto Saviano also wrote the source material for this Amazon Prime Original. ZeroZeroZero follows the smuggling of cocaine from Italy to Mexico in an unbelievable drug heist. The family at the center of this series acts as the broker between Mexico and Italian organized crime. It’s a fresh perspective and narrative.

ZeroZeroZero is available on Amazon Prime.

THE SOPRANOS

The Sopranos is a classic. With all seasons available on HBO, you have no reason not to watch. The iconic family doles out life lessons while also serving gritty moments. It’s truly the best of both worlds.

The Sopranos is available on HBO.

PEAKY BLINDERS

Cillian Murphy is one of the leads in this British series. The gangster team comprises some of the most attractive people you’ll ever see. And they even (quite frequently) hook up. The sex and crime make for a dynamic duo.

Peaky Blinders is available on Netflix.

TRUST

The Getty family is at the center of this based-on-a-true-story narrative. When John Paul Getty III (Harris Dickinson) is kidnapped, his grandfather (Donald Sutherland) has to pay the ransom. The thrilling series also stars Hilary Swank in an unforgettable role.

Trust is available on Hulu.
