Shows that feel likeRosario Tijeras (2010)

This is the story of the legendary Rosario Tijeras, the beautiful warrior from a slum who fell in love with Antonio and Emilio, two handsome and wealthy young men. Antonio, a young architect, desperately rushes the dying Rosario Tijeras to a nearby hospital. The beautiful Rosario has been shot four times by a hitman. While he waits for his beloved Rosario to be saved from her wounds, Antonio recalls how Rosario, a beautiful teenager, became the murderer Rosario Tijeras. And how he, a dashing young man, makes her his obsession. The woman of his dreams.

If you loved Rosario Tijeras, the closest series we have are Without Breasts There Is No Paradise (2008), El Capo (2009) and Pablo Escobar: The Drug Lord (2012). All three share Rosario Tijeras' gritty and contemplative feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Bloodhounds (2023).
