Shows that feel likeHaven (2010–2015)

FBI agent Audrey Parker arrives in the small town of Haven, Maine to solve a murder and soon discovers the town's many secrets—which also hold the key to unlocking the mysteries of her lost past.

If you loved Haven, the closest series we have are Wayward Pines (2015), Fringe (2008) and Sleepy Hollow (2013). All three share Haven's contemplative and cerebral feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Lanterns (2026).
