Shows that feel likeLupin (2021–)
If you loved Lupin, the closest series we have are My Name (2021), Girl from Nowhere (2018) and The Queen of Flow (2018). All three share Lupin's gritty and contemplative feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Chestnut Man (2021).
If Lupin hit the spot, these will too
A child's grief for a murdered father turned into a long, patient plan
The difference: Bone-hard violence and no charm — revenge with the play stripped out
Someone who walks into privileged rooms and takes them apart
The difference: Anthology cruelty with a supernatural edge — much nastier to sit with
A long revenge on the powerful family that destroyed a life
The difference: Colombian melodrama with music at its centre
A meticulous long-game revenge served on the powerful, one move at a time
The difference: No charm, no capers — the vengeance here is grim and personal
A man returning to settle an old score with patient malice
The difference: 1814 London, filthy and brutal — none of the lightness
A charismatic outsider outmaneuvering an establishment built to crush him
The difference: Devastating rather than fun — the trauma is central and unsoftened
A man staging elaborate moves to expose the rich family that ruined him
The difference: Soapier and hotter-blooded, with secrets piling up faster than schemes
Both keep coming back to the same thing: revenge
The difference: Easier on the grit than Lupin
One thread runs through both: the investigation
Wealth, reputation and a family closing ranks around what it did
The difference: Airless courtroom-shadowed drama with no escape-artist thrill
An investigation that keeps slipping past the people running it
The difference: Dread-soaked supernatural horror rather than a thief staying ahead
