Love can save, destroy, or completely transform people. It’s just like roulette at an Online Casino Real Money: you cannot predict what will happen next. If you’re looking for shows that explore how true love forms, here are some captivating series to dive into:
Why Women Kill
A charming anthology series from Marc Cherry, the creator of Desperate Housewives. The first season follows three couples from different eras (1960s, 1980s, and 2010s) whose relationships are in crisis. The show quickly gained a loyal fanbase and was renewed for a second season before the first even ended.
The series masterfully shifts between sarcastic sitcom and dark, conspiracy-filled drama, with all the over-the-top twists you’d expect from a soap opera. Bodies fall from second floors onto garden shears and are buried under bushes with such ease that you’ll be glued to the screen.
Sommerdahl
A unique detective series with a touch of melodrama—think Santa Barbara with a criminal twist. Dan Sommerdahl (Peter Mygind, The Kingdom) lives in a small coastal town and solves murders of varying complexity alongside his wife, Marianne, and friend Flemming.
Dan is so absorbed in his work that he doesn’t notice his wife drifting away, considering divorce. To make matters worse, Flemming starts vying for Marianne’s attention! Despite their tangled relationships, this trio must work together to solve crimes while juggling family drama, therapy sessions, and more.
Madam
Can you forgive your husband for cheating and turn his escapades into a successful business? This dramedy tackles that very question, inspired by a true story. Mackenzie Lee, an American living in New Zealand with her writer husband Rob and their two sons, discovers her husband’s affair with a sex worker.
Instead of leaving him, Mackenzie makes an unconventional decision: she opens a brothel with her husband’s mistress and her colleagues. Can she be a brothel owner, a perfect mother, and a wife all at once?
Normal People
An adaptation of Sally Rooney’s bestselling novel, this heartfelt series follows Marianne (Daisy Edgar-Jones) and Connell (Paul Mescal), two young people from different worlds who navigate the complexities of love and self-discovery.
Marianne comes from a wealthy but troubled family, while Connell is a popular boy from a working-class background. They secretly date in high school, fearing judgment from their peers. Over the years, they drift apart and come back together, exploring what it means to be lovers, friends, and partners.
Secret Bridesmaids’ Business
An Australian detective drama starring Abbie Cornish, Katie McGrath, and Georgina Haig. One friend steals money from a client to save another’s business, while another unknowingly sleeps with the lover of a third. The male lead embodies toxic masculinity, abuse, and gaslighting.
Despite its soap-opera-like twists, the series is well-written, with a compelling plot structure, brisk pacing, and captivating characters. Over six episodes, viewers are kept guessing about what happened at a wedding, who died, and why there’s so much blood!
Wolf Like Me
Love is a terrifying feeling, isn’t it? The characters of this unusual Australian series, Wolf Like Me, experience this firsthand. Gary (Josh Gad), a widower, struggles to connect with his 11-year-old daughter, Emma. But everything changes when Mary (Isla Fisher, The Great Gatsby) crashes into their lives—literally.
Mary has a few dark secrets, and dating her during a full moon isn’t advisable. But Gary is already completely smitten! If you’re tired of immortal vampire-human love stories, this tale of a werewolf and a single dad will delight you—especially when the couple faces the challenge of raising a child together.
Darby and Joan
Darby and Joan is about former Austrian policeman Jack Darby and retired British nurse Joan Kirkhope. They literally crash into each other’s lives, and that’s where their adventures begin. Joan’s husband, Ian, is found dead in Australia, while his wife was sure he was in Spain. How did this happen? Joan decided to figure it out on her own and set off to another continent to look for clues and discover the secrets of the past.
The title itself is a reference to the heroes of the ballad by British journalist Henry Woodfall. After the publication of the work, the expression “Darby and Joan” began to be used to describe a loving, devoted to each other couple who lead a quiet and peaceful life.
Trolösa
A beautiful and intricate drama about the relationship between David, a divorced director, and Marianne, the wife of his close friend. Based on a script by Ingmar Bergman, this series explores themes of love, fidelity, and guilt.
The story is split into two timelines: one follows the budding romance between David and Marianne, while the other shows them as older, broken, and traumatized individuals. The series doesn’t offer easy answers, leaving viewers to ponder the complexities of love and betrayal.
