If Black Rabbit left you restless for more tales of secrets, betrayals, and choices that tilt between right and wrong, you’re not alone.
The Netflix drama – with Jude Law brooding at its centre and Abbey Lee stealing scenes with her razor-sharp charisma – proved how gripping it is to watch glossy lives unravel under the weight of buried truths. Audiences can’t resist stories that blur morality and crack open the facades of family, power, and ambition.
From prestige dramas to stylish thrillers, here are 13 TV shows like Black Rabbit that are worth your time if you’re craving that same hypnotic mix of tension, mystery, and allure.
1. Wayward
Where to watch: Netflix
If the messy moral choices in Black Rabbit hooked you, Wayward will scratch the same itch: it’s a slow-burn thriller about a small town where loyalty and buried secrets collide in dangerous ways. It's also got Toni Colette, so we really needn't say more.
2. Fargo
Where to watch: Stan
You might find yourself grinning at the darkly comic chaos of Fargo, where ordinary people get swept up in crime sprees that spiral way out of control. Each season stands alone, and carries a crazy cast that ranges from Martin Freeman to Chris Rock.
3. House of Guinness
Where to watch: Netflix
A new one from Netflix but that's already getting rave reviews. If you're drawn to stories about power struggles behind closed doors, House of Guinness dives into the famous Irish dynasty, showing how ambition, betrayal, and family rivalries shape an empire.
4. The Lowdown
Where to watch: Disney+
This one takes the tension of Black Rabbit and flips it into the world of fast-talking journalists; The Lowdown follows a team willing to risk everything to uncover political corruption – and with Ethan Hawke at the helm.
5. Long Bright River
Where to watch: Stan
Like Black Rabbit, it’s gritty and personal: Amanda Seyfried leads this crime mystery blended with family drama, as a Philly cop searches for her missing sister in the shadow of an opioid crisis.
6. Narcos
Where to watch: Netflix
A classic show that also captures that seedy underbelly for a city, Narcos does the same on a global scale, dramatising the rise and fall of drug cartels with intoxicating intensity.
7. The Bear
Where to watch: Disney+
If you're searching for more of that raw, family intensity set in the fine dining scene – The Bear is the multi-Emmy Award winning show that throws you into the heat of a struggling Chicago kitchen.
8. Suspicion
Where to watch: Prime Video
For another puzzle-box thriller, Suspicion keeps you guessing: five strangers are accused of kidnapping a media mogul’s son, but who’s really guilty is never clear.
9. Sharp Objects
Where to watch: Foxtel Now and HBO Max
If the psychological weight of Black Rabbit is what resonated, Sharp Objects will grip you – it’s a haunting story of a journalist returning to her hometown to cover murders while battling her own trauma.
10. Inside Man
Where to watch: Netflix
Playing with morality and perception, Inside Man ties together a death row prisoner in the U.S. and a small-town vicar in England through a chilling murder mystery. It's got David Tennant, Stanley Tucci and that spiraling sense of a life becoming out of control.
11. Billionaires' Bunker
Where to watch: Netflix
This Spanish-language series follows a group of billionaires who take shelter in a luxury bunker – and the old feud between two families that resurfaces. It's from the same creators as La Casa de Papel (aka Money Heist) – see below.
12. Money Heist
Where to watch: Netflix
If you're into the Oceans Eleven-style heist hi-jinx then I would highly recommend watching Netflix's Money Heist. All three seasons are spectacularly entertaining, devilishly clever and suuuuper sexy. It's another Spanish-language show (so you'll need to watch with subtitles), but you'll find the accents entirely intoxicating. Trust me.
13. Big Little Lies
Where to watch: AppleTV+
If you enjoyed Black Rabbit’s layers of secrets and deception, Big Little Lies takes those themes to Monterey, where a group of mothers hide scandals behind polished lives. There's a third season reportedly in the works, and with a cast as stellar as Zoe Kravitz, Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon, you know it's good.
