What started this trend - was it Twin Peaks or Murder She Wrote ?? Strange trend as we are becoming more urbanized. I do enjoy them especially the UK one like Broadchurch/Happy Valley/Hinterland/Shetland and such.

shareWas it a crime drama/murder mystery in a small town?
It bothers me when a post changes the rules set down by its title. Are we naming crime dramas/murder mysteries in small towns, or are we identifying what started this trend?!
Fargo (film and series covered - did not start trend.)
Fargo started as a movie and then got on the small town crime drama series bandwagon
shareThese small towns always seem to have a LOT of crime for their size!
Murders every week, it's always hard to believe anyone would live there if there was a murder a week. (and only a few thousand people live there!)
I only watched Justified for three seasons... but that had the small town feel and it was a good show.
shareI really enjoyed an all day binge watch of Jesse Stone mysteries awhile back, set in the fictional, very corrupt small town of Paradise, Massachusetts.
