In plain English

This repository is a curated list of mystery and crime dramas, organized by sub-genre. It contains no code. The content is a short, manually assembled collection of show recommendations, written in Chinese, covering titles from roughly 2016 to 2023. The list is divided into three categories. The first covers Chinese detective and reasoning dramas, including Hidden Corner (2020), Silent Truth (2020), The Long Season (2023, rated 9.4), and The Third Team (2023). The second covers Chinese crime thrillers such as Kuang Biao (2023) and Night Chaser. The third covers international mystery films, including the Italian film Perfect Strangers (2016), the Spanish film The Invisible Guest (2017), Knives Out (2019, USA), and the 2017 adaptation of Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express. The README also includes links to a Chinese streaming site where some of these titles can be watched. There are no install instructions, no code, and no technical content of any kind. This is essentially a personal or shared watchlist, stored as a GitHub repository for easy reference or sharing.
