*edit - subject was the not so appealing 'Can anyone suggest any good...' so i spiced it up*
**that was a shit subject**
*TV shows with a genius but flawed detective hunts a genius but psycho killer. Or anything along those sorts of lines, doesn't have to be a murderer, or even a detective. Just some good ole grim nasty bleak miserable lovliness.
One of my all time fave shows is Cracker (1993) which imdb succinctly sums up as "An abrasively eccentric forensic psychologist (Robbie Coltrane) aids in the solving of difficult police cases." It is Most Excellent Dudes. They tried a US version called 'Fitz' which i've never seen but it didn't get positive reception by all accounts.
Other shows i enjoy along these lines are:
Hannibal
The Fall
Prime Suspect
Criminal Minds
Messiah
Broadchurch
Touching Evil
I suppose stuff like The Wire & Breaking Bad would technically fit the billl. But anyway, if ya can rec anything like this - the darker, gritter n more disturbing the better. which reminds me to get on finishing Miike Takeshi's Multiple Personality Detective Psycho...

The Killing - Great up to the end of the 2nd season (based on the books) and after that the show collapsed, it was push cash-grab, the writing was appaling.
The Night Of - Very gripping from start to finish, i binge watched the whole thing.
The Broadchurch - Started watching this one 2 days ago, i am midway 1st season, it feels 1-2 notches below the aforementioned but still very watchable, will see how it goes!
