Dateline

Dateline is currently streaming in the US on fuboTV and Peacock Premium, and its case-by-case structure never gets in the way of the bigger story. Every one of its 34 seasons holds up. 51 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. The writing does the heavy lifting here. Put it on tonight on fuboTV and see for yourself.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Dateline is worth clearing space for. The plotting gives Dateline its backbone, but it is the characters you come back for. Dateline NBC, or simply Dateline, is a weekly American television newsmagazine series. It was previously the network's flagship newsmagazine, but now focuses mainly on true crime stories with only occasional editions that focus on other topics. 34 seasons (1992–2026) gave the story room most shows never get. What makes Dateline hold up is that the resolution matters less than how the characters get there. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

For anyone who wants their crime drama to earn its twists, Dateline delivers. If you have already watched The Jinx, Dateline is a natural next step. 34 seasons in, there is no shortage of material once you get started. The writing carries the material even without a single standout performance. If you are going to commit to one crime drama this month, make it this one.

Dateline is currently airing new episodes — so there's no better time to catch up before the story moves forward.
