Shows that feel likeERASED (2016)

Satoru Fujinuma is a struggling manga artist who has the ability to turn back time and prevent deaths. When his mother is killed he turns back time to solve the mystery, but ends up back in elementary school, just before the disappearance of his classmate Kayo.

If you loved ERASED, the closest series we have are Scream: The TV Series (2015), The Chestnut Man (2021) and Mare of Easttown (2021). All three share ERASED's contemplative and twisty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Alienist (2018).
