Shows that feel likeWho Killed Sara? (2021–2022)

Hell-bent on exacting revenge and proving he was framed for his sister's murder, Álex sets out to unearth much more than the crime's real culprit.

If you loved Who Killed Sara?, the closest series we have are Girl from Nowhere (2018), My Name (2021) and Lupin (2021). All three share Who Killed Sara?'s contemplative and gritty 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).
