After going on a great run with Mindhunters and Bodyguard I really screwed up with The Stranger. Mrs Pimp kept looking at me with that look and the dreaded eye roll as each scenario went from schlock to parody. A couple great leads were wasted with so many bad minor characters and community theatre level acting . Yikes.

Recommend a great drama/ crime fast burn show so that I can get my Netflix decision- making street cred back.

Dark (if you don’t mind subtitles)
Narcos is solid

And I’m assuming you’ve seen Breaking Bad, if not then move that to the top of your list

It’s not Netflix, it’s on Prime, but I’m making a run through Bosch right now. It is excellent.

As others have suggested go with Dark as your next one. It will reaffirm Mrs Pimp's trust in your choice of entertainment.

I really enjoyed The Stranger... but not as much as The Five.

Rectify is a damn fine show. Maybe got a touch drawn out toward the end, but really, really good.

The Stranger was horrible. My wife enjoyed it, but you're spot-on about the writing being ridiculous and the acting being subpar. We watched through the end and I still have no idea what the frick was going on with the decapitated alpaca.
