Has Fallen poster

Shows that feel likeHas Fallen (2024–)

A protection officer and an MI6 operative team up after a terrorist attack. They suspect a mole as they race to thwart a larger conspiracy threatening Paris.

If you loved Has Fallen, the closest series we have are 12 Monkeys (2015), Vikings: Valhalla (2022) and SEAL Team (2017). All three share Has Fallen's bleak feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Shooter (2016).

The difference: Takes it somewhere less kinetic than Has Fallen does

As the clock winds down with their fates hanging in the balance, each character is forced to reckon with their pasts as they discover how far they will go to survive the night.
