Ice Season 1

Ice Season 1 has quietly become one of the more dependable crime dramas currently available on and . A single, tightly-focused season means there is plenty to get through without ever feeling padded. 22 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Watch Cam Gigandet work — the performance is a masterclass in restraint. Put it on tonight and see for yourself.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Ice Season 1 earns its spot. Ice Season 1 treats its mystery as a means, not an end in itself. Follow the Green family as they plunge into the underbelly of the Los Angeles diamond trade. After wild-card Freddy kills a prominent diamond dealer, his brother Jake must bail him out and save the family business from a crime lord of the Los Angeles Diamond trade. Jake must endure all of this while maneuvering amongst jewelry thugs, blood diamond deals, false certificates, the Feds, and Pieter Van De Bruin, a ruthless Afrikaner diamond merchant who now heads up an Antwerp-based diamond cartel. Cam Gigandet and Jeremy Sisto lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2016. What distinguishes the best crime dramas from the rest is whether the character work can carry scenes where the mystery takes a breath — Ice Season 1 passes that test consistently. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Crime and mystery fans will find exactly what they are after in Ice Season 1. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Cam Gigandet anchors it, but the writing does the real work. If you are going to commit to one crime drama this month, make it this one.
