Shows that feel likeMr. Robot (2015–2019)
If you loved Mr. Robot, the closest series we have are Homeland (2011), Hannibal (2013) and You (2018). All three share Mr. Robot's unsettling and gritty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Fall (2013).

If Mr. Robot hit the spot, these will too

A brilliant operator whose mental health is part of the plot, not a twist
The difference: Espionage and geopolitics, conventional in form

A fragile mind rendered on screen, with reality bending around it
The difference: Baroque horror and gore — beautiful murder rather than corporate rot

Paranoid and unsettling in the same breath
The difference: Easier on the ideas than Mr. Robot

Sustained discomfort, and systems that fail to notice a damaged man
The difference: True-crime retelling in one closed season — grim, not formally daring

Both are built on the same subject: hacker
The difference: Takes it somewhere less unsettling than Mr. Robot does

A brilliant, broken man whose gift is inseparable from his damage
The difference: Straight police drama, external and physical

A narrator whose own harm shapes what we are allowed to see
The difference: Southern heat and family rot, slower and sadder

A voiceover from someone who cannot be trusted about himself
The difference: Miami pulp, warmer and much less formally daring

Cold clinical dread and a study of someone hiding in plain sight
The difference: A straight police procedural — no subjectivity games, no paranoid frame

Crime built on grit, twice over
The difference: Trades the unease of Mr. Robot for an angle of its own

A mind that cannot trust itself, filmed from the inside
The difference: Marvel mutants, wilder and much funnier

Drama with a pulse of paranoia, in both cases
The difference: Sits closer to action & adventure than Mr. Robot does
