A Haunting

If you want a crime drama that treats its mystery as more than a puzzle, A Haunting is available in the US on Amazon Prime Video and HBO Max Amazon Channel, and in the UK on Amazon Prime Video right now. Every one of its 12 seasons holds up. A 7/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Anthony D. Call's performance alone is worth the time investment. Start it on Amazon Prime Video whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, A Haunting earns its spot. The plotting in A Haunting is tight enough that the twists feel earned rather than assembled. These are the true stories of the innocent and the unimaginable. Based on true events, A Haunting dramatises some of the scariest stories, revealing a world in which tragedy, suicide and murder have left psychic impressions so powerful that innocent people become forced to deal with them decades later. Through mesmerizing first-person accounts, the mystery and origin of each haunting is powerfully revealed and leaves a lingering sense that life—and death—are much stronger then anyone could have possibly imagined. Anthony D. Call leads a cast that gives the tension real weight. Across 12 seasons (2005–2022), it never lost the thread that made it worth starting. A Haunting is at its best in the quiet scenes between the plot beats, where the character work actually happens. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Viewers who think they have seen every crime drama tend to find A Haunting proves them wrong. Viewers who responded to Paranormal Witness will find a lot to like here too. 12 seasons in, there is no shortage of material once you get started. Anthony D. Call 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.

A Haunting was cancelled in 2022 — and 12 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
