S2 E18 / Caitlin from NoSleep4Dramas podcast and blog joins me for a crime and mystery Kdrama deep dive! This genre doesn’t get as much attention as some others, so we’re shining the light on our favorites. And, boy, do we have a lot! 

🎯 We explore our crime tv-show roots, giving shout-outs to shows like Criminal Minds, Bones, and The Mentalist as well as our recs for current western crime shows: 

• Caitlin: Only Murders in the Building, Criminal Minds, and Broadchurch
• Sara: Art of Crime (French), Astrid (French)

🔪 Then we delve into the very rich world of Asian crime dramas. 

✅ Mostly spoiler-free episode. Some minor spoilers, but we usually just mention the set-up and don’t go into the whole drama. Enjoy!
