Below is a complete list of American detective/mystery/crime shows from the 2010s, in alphabetical order. This includes shows that started in the 2000s and continued into the 2010s, as well as shows that started in the 2010s and continued into the 2020s. At the turn of the millennium, there was a surge in popularity of reality and true-crime series. However, the list below aims to bring into focus only scripted/fictional shows—reality tv series are omitted.

Clicking on a title link in the list below will take you to my post about that specific show (if I have created one). Additionally, the list also includes links to places where you can watch/stream the show online.
