Already watched the Sugar season 2 premiere? Here are 3 more gritty Apple TV crime shows to satisfy your inner sleuth

Sugar season 2 has arrived on Apple TV after a two-year break. The first episode is streaming now, but you'll have to wait a week for the next one to drop.

Fortunately, there's a lot of great crime shows to tide you over until then. If you can't get enough of the genre, I've picked out three of my favorites that are widely available to stream on Apple TV, and you can even binge-watch if that's your thing.

Make the most of your Apple TV subscription and check out these three detective shows now.

Presumed Innocent

Creator: David E. Kelley
Cast: Jake Gyllenhaal, Ruth Negga, Bill Camp, O-T Fagbenle, Chase Infiniti, Nana Mensah, Renate Reinsve
Seasons: 2
Age Rating: TV-MA

David E. Kelley is on a roll with Apple TV shows, as he's the genius behind recent comedy hit Margo's Got Money Troubles. If you haven't seen Presumed Innocent yet, this is also well worth your time.

Presumed Innocent follows prosecutor Rusty (Jake Gyllenhaal), who becomes the prime suspect in the gruesome murder of his colleague and secret mistress, Carolyn (Backrooms' Renate Reinsve). This legal drama is deliciously addictive, and it's very easy to get sucked in as you uncover the truth about what really happened.

Criminal Record

Creator: Paul Rutman
Cast: Peter Capaldi, Cush Jumbo, Zoë Wanamaker, Charlie Creed-Miles, Cathy Tyson
Seasons: 2
Age Rating: TV-MA

Criminal Record returned for season 2 just a few months ago, so now is the perfect time to catch up. This British crime drama features a brilliant cast, especially when it comes to the dynamic between the two main characters.

Clashing detectives Daniel Hegarty (Peter Capaldi) and June Lenker (Cush Jumbo) are forced to work together when an anonymous phone call draws them to an old murder case, and they must put aside their differences to see if they can solve it. Along the way, they encounter issues within their own force, including race, institutional corruption, and systemic failures, making it a thought-provoking watch.

Lady in the Lake

Creator: Alma Har'el
Cast: Natalie Portman, Moses Ingram, Y'lan Noel, Brett Gelman, Byron Bowers
Seasons: 1
Age Rating: TV-MA

Finally, Lady in the Lake is set against a 1960s Baltimore backdrop, following Maddie Schwartz (Natalie Portman), an investigative journalist working on an unsolved murder case. She is so invested in this that she leaves her husband and her home, hoping to become a full-time newspaper reporter.

Over the course of the series, Maddie becomes obsessed with unraveling the mystery of two separate killings: eleven-year-old Tessie Durst and a bartender named Cleo Johnson (Moses Ingram). The series is based on the novel of the same name by Laura Lippman, which is also worth reading.
