If The Yards hit the spot, these will too

Both are James Gray's work, and they rhyme
The difference: Easier on the warmth than The Yards

Both land grit and tension at once
The difference: Reviewed even better

Contemplative and warm in the same breath

The same two preoccupations: murder, and criminal

Crime built on grit, twice over

Contemplative drama in both cases

Tense thriller, and it commits to that

Crime with a pulse of warmth, in both cases

Both lean on grit more than on drama
The difference: 21 years apart, and the 2020s show

The same preoccupation in both: murder

One thread runs through both: criminal

Thriller with a pulse of stillness, in both cases
In the mood for more gritty?
