For those who like their crime dramas with a side of marital mayhem and a dash of Euro-cool.

Programmer's Pick

If your taste skews toward the elegantly sordid, Dial Love for Murder offers a European cocktail of marital greed, infidelity, and plans that unravel with noir precision. Harald Leipnitz’s Jan is as conniving as he is unlucky—just the way we like our would-be murderers.
