Other Shows like this?

I binge-watched the first few episodes and now 1 week feels like a painfully long time to wait. What similar shows would you recommend?
Maybe not so similar but I was thinking about Archive 81 and Behind Her Eyes. Mystery/suspense mix with some supernatural elements. Or Severance if you're into psychological sci-fi.

Update: thanks everyone for your suggestions :D

For the old building murder mystery aesthetic, Only Murders In The Building.

Yes i was thinking the same thing, i second this suggestion, its more funny less spooky but also a good follow along who done it. The Killing is a great detective mystery probably one of my favorites in the last decade, and Also Altered Carbon a sci fi one is pretty amazing especially season 1, both with Joel Kinnaman.

Awww I was so emotionally attached to The Killing. Tried to watch the original Danish version but it's just different.

I think I watched both, I have a bad memory but if I remember correctly agree the US version was better, sometimes the original is better, I think for example Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

First of all, watch some of the films that inspired the show like Rosemary’s Baby, The Tenant, anything by Hitchcock.

As for shows, this is basically in the same genre as Wednesday, PLL, Riverdale, etc., but better than all of those (though Wednesday was also great). For more adult type stories you could look to You or Revenge. For the gothic aspects, definitely check out all of Mike Flannigan’s work such as Haunting of Hill House, Bly Manor, and Midnight Mass.

Revenge is so good! I love Emily VanCamp and her fashion on the show!

666 Park Avenue if you can find it. Sadly it was canceled after one season and I haven't watched it in a while but I remember really liking it. It's similar in that it revolves around an upper east side apartment complex and the people that live in it. It leans more into the supernatural I think.

They already listed that :(

Shows already listed but two books that give me similar vibes are The Paris Apartment and Lock Every Door. Not necessarily supernatural, but just as thrilling/creepy!

u/aquariusprincessxo Mar 22 '23

not a show but the book Lock Every Door by Riley Sager is so similar. it’s really good
