Crime drama series recommended on Disney+ and HBO Max

Disney+ features the six‑season legal thriller *How to Get Away with Murder*. The series follows attorney Annalise Keating, played by Viola Davis, whose Emmy‑winning performance made her the first Black woman to win the award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. Over six seasons the show expands a central murder mystery, intertwining courtroom drama with personal peril for Keating and her students.

HBO Max curates a selection of five crime‑investigation series: the first season of *True Detective* set in Louisiana, *Mare of Easttown* following a Pennsylvania detective, *Sharp Objects* about a journalist returning home to solve twin murders, and *The Night Of* centring on a Pakistani‑American youth implicated in a homicide. Each program explores complex investigations and the lasting impact of violent crimes on the characters involved.
