Where to Watch Umineko: When They Cry in Canada

Not every great procedural makes it onto the major platforms, and Umineko: When They Cry is a reminder of why it's always worth looking beyond the obvious. Every episode is out there — TV Butler finds it for you instantly without the guesswork.

At its heart, Umineko: When They Cry is a procedural that understands what makes the genre work — character first, plot second. As customary per year, the entire family is gathering on the island for a conference that discusses the current financial situations of each respective person. Because of the family head's poor health, this year involves the topic of the head of the family's inheritance and how it will be distributed. However, the family is unaware that the distribution of his wealth is the least of Ushiromiya Kinzo's concerns for this year's family conference. Marina Inoue and Daisuke Ono lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It aired in 2009.

Perfect for viewers who think they've already seen all the great crime dramas. Umineko: When They Cry is the one that tends to prove them wrong.
