Shows that feel likeShooter (2016–2018)

Bob Lee Swagger is an expert marksman living in exile who is coaxed back into action after learning of a plot to kill the president.

If you loved Shooter, the closest series we have are Bodyguard (2018), SEAL Team (2017) and The Night Agent (2023). All three share Shooter's contemplative feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Last Ship (2014).
