Shows that feel likeServant (2019–2023)

A Philadelphia couple are in mourning after an unspeakable tragedy creates a rift in their marriage and opens the door for a mysterious force to enter their home.

If you loved Servant, the closest series we have are Cruel Summer (2021), Yellowjackets (2021) and Sharp Objects (2018). All three share Servant'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 Behind Her Eyes (2021).

Both keep coming back to the same thing: psychological thriller

Taking place over three summers - 1993, 1994, 1995 - in a small Texas town, a beautiful popular teen, Kate, is abducted and, seemingly unrelated, a girl, Jeanette, goes from being a sweet, awkward outlier to the most popular girl in town and, by ’95, the most despised person in America.

Common ground: psychological thriller

This equal parts survival epic, psychological horror story and coming-of-age drama tells the saga of a team of wildly talented high school girls soccer players who become the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the remote northern wilderness. The series chronicles their descent from a complicated but thriving team to savage clans, while also tracking the lives they’ve attempted to piece back together nearly 25 years later.
