While some viewers may be in search of cozy, feel-good shows to watch during the winter, others relish the chilling allure of crime shows that perfectly mirror the frosty scenes outside their window. The stark beauty of the season becomes a character in its own way, setting a stage where mysteries can play out. Crime shows like Fargo, Valhalla Murders, and Fortitude exemplify the charm found in shows set in winter. They offer more than just visual spectacle, blending the literal coldness of the atmosphere with the thematic complexity of crime solving in an isolated, and often unforgiving, environment.
