Archive 81 is the kind of crime drama that keeps you guessing. It's currently available in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Netflix, so there's no reason to keep putting it off. A 7/10 rating means the audience agrees.

The procedural format gives Archive 81 its backbone, but it's the characters you come back for. An archivist takes a job restoring damaged videotapes and gets pulled into the vortex of a mystery involving the missing director and a demonic cult. Mamoudou Athie and Dina Shihabi lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It aired in 2022.

Perfect for viewers who think they've already seen all the great crime dramas. Archive 81 is the one that tends to prove them wrong.
