A list of 5 shows to watch if you loved The Survivors on Netflix

5. One of Us:

One of Us doesn't hold back when it comes to moral dilemmas and emotional chaos, reflecting the weight carried in The Survivors.

A young couple is found dead in a Scottish village, and people are struggling to make sense of the deaths. But things take a turn when a mysterious, injured man shows up at the doorstep. Could he be the possible killer?

What happens next forces the families to choose between justice and mercy. This show unfolds like a slow-burning fire, exposing issues in relationships and just how trauma can push people into places they never imagined to be in.

Just like The Survivors, it's not only about the crime but rather, it's about what happens to the people who are left behind and how secrets, once out in the open, change everything.

4. The Pembrokeshire Murders

Fans of The Survivors will appreciate how The Pembrokeshire Murders combines crime-solving with personal stakes. Set in Wales and based on actual events, the show follows Detective Steve Wilkins as he revives two cold cases from the 1980s.

These crimes had gone unsolved for years, but with new forensic tech and his utmost determination, Wilkins begins to connect the dots that link the crimes to a series of burglaries and an old game show appearance.

Much like Kieran in The Survivors, Wilkins carries a quiet burden. His mission is more than just justice. It's about setting history right. The show gives us a look into how guilt and persistence can push someone to uncover the truth, no matter how long it takes. The quiet countryside setting only makes the horror feel closer to home.

3. The Chestnut Man

If it's the chilling suspense and dark mood of The Survivors that hooked you, The Chestnut Man is a natural next stop. Set in Copenhagen, this Danish series begins with a gruesome crime, an eerie little chestnut doll found at a murder scene.

Detectives Naia Thulin and Mark Hess dive into a twisted case that soon links back to a missing girl whose body was never found. With each clue, the line between present crimes and past trauma begins to blur.

The eerie visuals and cold atmosphere build a world that keeps you on edge, much like the foggy tension of The Survivors.

As secrets start to unravel, so does the sanity of the characters, creating a tense watch filled with dread and emotional weight. It's a six-episode thriller that digs deep into why some people hide behind masks and what happens when those masks slip.

2. Mare of Easttown

Mare of Easttown feels like stepping into a town that forgot how to breathe. A teenage girl's murder shakes up this quiet suburb, and at the center of it all is Mare, a detective fighting not just for justice, but to keep herself afloat.

From a broken marriage to painful family losses, she's struggling silently. What makes this series echo Survivors is how it weaves deep emotional wounds with a complex case. The show doesn't rush, but it simply simmers, letting you absorb every moment of Mare's unraveling.

And while the town may look small and quiet, it hides decades of secrets and pain. The tension is personal, the silence loud. You'll see how one mystery can unearth many more, just like The Survivors.

1. The Staircase

In The Staircase, the death of Kathleen Peterson flips a seemingly normal household into chaos. Her husband, Michael, a crime novelist, finds himself tangled in suspicion.

What follows is a rollercoaster of courtroom drama, family fractures, and a documentary team lurking in the background. The reason it mirrors Survivors so well is that the truth never sits still.

Every new angle adds confusion rather than clarity. It's not just about the case, but it's about the cracks beneath the surface of a family. The way the show presents doubt and plays with perspective makes it hard to trust anything fully.

Like The Survivors, it's not the crime that hooks you, it's what it reveals about the people involved.

If The Survivors left you haunted in the best way, these five shows continue that emotional and suspenseful ride. From cold-case puzzles to morally grey decisions and eerie, small-town settings, each one offers something familiar yet fresh. Dive in, and I promise you won’t regret it.
