Harper's Island

I'm old enough to remember a time before streaming apps like Netflix provided us with good shows 12 months a year that all the big network shows would end their seasons in May and not start their second season until the fall, leaving a gap for quality entertainment on TV in the summer. Unless you liked baseball, there really wasn't much worthwhile to watch on TV between June-September. Then some networks would try a few limited run/mini-series type shows to fill the gap. Most weren't any good, but I remember Harper's Island being an exception. It didn't have an overly unique plot, but for the most part it was well acted and well-written and ended up being good murder mystery that helped fill the summer lull in entertainment in the summer of 2009. Not sure if/where this is streaming these days and it may be a bit dated seeing it's over 13 years old, but still a good suspense series that's probably still worth a watch.
