Mystery / Suspense Worth Watching
I have seen tons and these are the only ones worth watching. GOOD dramas / movies that stick to the plot without unnecessary fillers; well executed, acted, written, directed all around.
A list still in progress. Feel free to recommend good ones I may have missed out.
