Shows that feel likeDark (2017–2020)
If you loved Dark, the closest series we have are True Detective (2014), Grimm (2011) and The Bridge (2011). All three share Dark's atmospheric feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Bosch (2015).
If Dark hit the spot, these will too

An investigation that turns out to be about time and inheritance
The difference: American, literary, and entirely realist

One thread runs through both: detective
The difference: Trades the dread of Dark for an angle of its own

Both keep coming back to the same thing: detective
The difference: Easier on the dread than Dark

Common ground: the investigation

Atmospheric where it counts, twisty underneath

Cerebral drama in both cases

Crime built on atmosphere, twice over

Twisty mystery, and it commits to that

A missing child, a small town, and every family with something to hide
The difference: Grounded British crime — no time travel, no cosmology

The same preoccupation in both: time travel


Sci-fi & fantasy with a pulse of bleakness, in both cases
