If you’re still wanting to get your fix of crime thrillers on thebest streaming service, check out these three with over 80% on Rotten Tomatoes to watch next.

Emily the Criminal

Emily the Criminalis always my top pick when it comes to enthralling crime thrillers. After falling in love with Aubrey Plaza’s performance inThe White Lotusseason 2, I decided to watch the comedic actress show off her dramatic side once again inEmily the Criminal.Plaza stars as Emily Benetto, a young woman riddled with student debt and struggling to get a job due to a criminal record. Desperate to pay off her arrears, she gets involved in a credit card scam that drags her into the criminal underworld of Los Angeles.

Emily the Criminalis an addictive thrill ride and you can’t help but root for a struggling Emily to succeed even if it’s through illegal ways. TechRadar’s managing editor Matthew Bolton writes thatEmily the Criminalis “an engrossing story of someone moving from one downward spiral to another, but hoping they’ve moved to an upwards one. It’s full of scummy people you love to hate, and cool crime minutiae”.

Available to stream on Netflix in the US.

A Simple Favor

A Simple Favoris ideal if you’re looking for a more comedic and entertaining Anna Kendrick movie that doesn’t involve a serial killer. Mommy vlogger Stephanie (Kendrick) and the mysterious Emily (Blake Lively) are at the heart of intrigue in Paul Feig’s suburban neo-noir dark comedy. When Stephanie befriends high-flying mother Emily, she becomes embroiled in a bizarre mystery after her new friend disappears without a trace.

After watchingA Simple Favorin the cinema when it was first released, I promise you that the mystery only gets more outrageous as Stephanie tries to solve Emily’s disappearance. While it is easier on your nerves thanWoman of the Hour, A Simple Favorstill has plenty of shocking and jaw-dropping moments.

Available to stream on Netflix in the US, MGM+ on Prime Video in the UK andPrime Videoin Australia.

The Killer

After nearly a decade since auteur David Fincher’s last thriller feature film, theZodiacdirector returned to the genre with Netflix’sThe Killer.Michael Fassbender plays an assassin who embarks on an international manhunt after a hit goes wrong.The Killeris yet another masterpiece by Fincher filled with gripping suspense that’s fuelled by a star-studded cast of Tilda Swinton, Arliss Howard, and Charles Parnell.
