The Killing.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1637727/
This is a cracking watch found it purely by chance, there are 4 series. The forth iscut a bit short I think as with most American series if audience ratings drop they just cut it. Which is a shame I think it had the potential for more.imdb gave it 8.2 well deserved.
Based in part on a popular Danish TV series, `The Killing' is a moody, character-driven detective procedural that weaves a murder mystery through a full season or more. The stories unfold through the eyes of Sarah Linden, a dedicated detective with the Seattle Police Department who at first is assigned to mentor Detective Stephen Holder, formerly of the narcotics division. While their varied, pockmarked backgrounds produce two distinct investigative styles that at times clash - she's by-the-book, he's freewheeling - the partners manage to pull together in the name of justice, even after Linden makes a decision that changes both of their lives.

Another good one first series aired last year, a female homicide cop with a past of her own joins forces with a criminal psychologist. It's gritty and well written think Will Graham meets Columbo with PMS. Imdb gives it 7.2 I'd go 8 its a bit of a slow boiler but then it really gets going.
Being a detective in the Pittsburgh Police Department is more than a job for Catherine Jensen -- it's her life's mission, driven as she is by the disappearance of her brother and the suspicion that her stepfather is a serial killer. Recently appointed to homicide division, Jensen takes on the job and gives no quarter in her unrelenting pursuit of Pittsburgh's most violent murderers. She'll do whatever it takes to apprehend perpetrators, even if it means overstepping department protocol. Her dedication, however, has a downside, as she often develops an emotional connection to the victims. Forensic psychologist Thomas Schaeffer does as well but in a different way. He teams with Jensen to provide insight into her cases, and the skewed sense of judgment they share becomes both a saving grace and a disruptive, dangerous force. "Those Who Kill" is based on the Danish crime series format inspired by the best-selling work of author Elsebeth Egholm.
