Shows that feel likeQuantico (2015–2018)

A diverse group of recruits has arrived at the FBI Quantico Base for training. They are the best, the brightest and the most vetted, so it seems impossible that one of them is suspected of masterminding the biggest attack on New York City since 9/11.

If you loved Quantico, the closest series we have are The Alienist (2018), A Good Girl's Guide to Murder (2024) and Scream: The TV Series (2015). All three share Quantico'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).
