It can be difficult to find TV crime dramas to watch right now. We’ve got you covered. Here are five to check out between May 18 and 22.

With broadcast networks running out of content, it can be difficult to find something to watch. There is still some great content out there. It’s time to get the five TV crime dramas to watch between May 18 and 22.

Most of the crime dramas are new episodes. There’s one that is a rerun of an older episode of a favorite TV crime drama. There are also other reruns happening throughout the week if you look in the right places.

More from TV Crime Dramas

For those who love reruns of the NCIS shows, Criminal Minds, and Chicago PD, check out the likes of CBS (regular reruns at the moment), ION, Oxygen, and more. The shows have been syndicated and have reruns throughout the week.

Now let’s get to the list of 5 TV crime dramas from May 18 to 22.

5. Criminal Minds rerun

If you love reruns, you’ll need to turn to ION. On Tuesday, May 19, the network will air reruns of Criminal Minds Season 10. This is the season that marked Jennifer Love Hewitt’s return to TV before 9-1-1, although she did leave the show at the end of the season due to pregnancy.

Criminal Minds is a firm favorite when it comes to TV crime dramas. No matter what season, you can’t go wrong with an episode.

4. Control Z

This is admittedly a questionable show to put the list. The Netflix Original is described as something that Elite fans will love, which immediately brings the idea of a TV crime drama. However, there’s no murder in the show’s trailer.

Of course, murder isn’t the only crime. There’s plenty that could happen on Control Z to make it a crime drama. And it looks like it will be one—the focus is on cyber hacking, which is a crime. So, if you love Elite or you want another Spanish teen drama that’s similar to it, you’ll want to check out Control Z on Friday, May 22.

3. In the Dark

In the Dark Season 2 has offered a story that isn’t usual for TV crime dramas. Instead of focusing on the aftermath of the crime, we’re focusing on the time leading up to it. We know what will happen but not why.

In the Dark Season 2, Episode 6 will air on Thursday, May 21. Now is the time to catch up on the previous five episodes, which you can do for free on the CW App. This is your last chance to watch the season from the beginning.

2. Burden of Truth Season 3 premiere

Burden of Truth Season 3 premieres on The CW on Thursday, May 21. While technically it’s a legal drama, our lawyers are working on solving crimes. The first season involved poisoned students and the second season involved the murder of Joanna’s father. Now Joanna and Billy are back with another case they need to work on.

The third season involves drug rings, conspiracies to take children away, and a mysterious man in a car. It’s definitely worth checking out. It does initially look like it’s going to be more legal than crime, but just watch and you’ll see the connections.

1. SWAT Season 3 finale

There’s only one crime drama that can be at the top of the list of TV crime dramas to watch this week. It’s all about the SWAT Season 3 finale. The best thing is you can watch crime dramas all Wednesday night with reruns of NCIS and FBI before SWAT to get you ready.

Luca is back, but he’s clearly got some anxiety over returning to the field. There isn’t going to be much time to work through that with a serious case. This episode will likely end with a small cliffhanger that gets us ready for the fourth season.

The SWAT Season 3 finale airs on Wednesday, May 20 at 10/9c on CBS.
