Creepy dark mystery and crime dramas are amongst my favorites, along with non-slasher horror and documentaries. That could be one of the reasons I liked Nightcrawler so much, plus I don't really need a conclusion to the story as an ending. I'm a weirdo.
There are some great eight and twelve part series' of those genres on the tv these day. I've watched more television in the last year than I probably watched in the previous 5 years combined.
I watched an episode of HBO's True Detective at my mom's last year and ended up watching eight episodes in two sittings. It was a creepy dark crime drama with strange lead characters, played by Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson -- with an ending that wrapped up the story.
Also, watched FX's American Horror Story (Asylum & Freak Show seasons) with my niece over the course of a couple of months. I've always liked Jessica Lange -- she's a great character actress. My niece absolutely loves her on the show and was surprised when I told her that Lange used to star in movies, back in the "olden days".
I think some of the cable television programming available now is a better watch than most feature films.
