Shows that feel likeMonster (2004–2005)
If you loved Monster, the closest series we have are The Killing (2011), CSI: NY (2004) and Kakegurui (2017). All three share Monster'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).
If Monster hit the spot, these will too
