Clearly, you have finished Seven Dials, haven’t you? How did it feel, still holding your breath from that final twist? Now your brain wants more, doesn’t it? Who else is hiding something? Who else is wearing a mask? Because once you step into that crisp, everybody-is-suspect type of Netflix mystery, there is no going back.

Now you want something that doesn’t spoon-feed. You want hidden letters, dead people, fake smiles, and lots and lots of drama sprinkled on it. Basically, you are chasing that same cold, suspicious thrill Seven Dials gave you.

But good luck finding it with just one Google search. Every other list is like, “Watch Sherlock.” Wow. Groundbreaking. As if we didn’t know that. Thanks, Google, but it’s been watched already. What you want now is a show that gets under your skin, not just ticks the genre box.

Lucky for you, we found them. Five shows that get it. Those who know how to play the long game. That starts with a murder but ends with something else. Let’s go.

Five shows to watch if you loved Seven Dials

Paranoid (2016)

If Seven Dials made you question everyone in the room, Paranoid will make you question everyone in the country. It starts in broad daylight when a woman is stabbed in a playground, with dozens of witnesses. You think the case will be simple, right? Well, it’s not. As the investigators dig deeper, they find more. Stuff like medical conspiracies and government ties. Even connections that stretch across borders.

If you like shows that feel human and real, Paranoid is the perfect pick for you. The detectives in the show are not Sherlock Holmes. They are anxious and paranoid, just like you would be if everything started unravelling. Here, every answer leads to more confusion, and that’s what keeps you hooked till the end.

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder (2024)

Based on the bestselling book, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder follows Pip, who is a smart, determined high-schooler who decides to reinvestigate a closed murder case for a school project. The town says the case is solved, but she is not buying it. If you are craving that Seven Dials energy with a teenage twist, this one is a must-watch.

What starts as a school assignment quickly turns obsessive. Pip uncovers secrets that make adults in the town nervous and her classmates furious. She is clever but not invincible, and the more she pokes around, the more dangerous things get. It is clever and just unpredictable enough to keep you up at night.

Run Away (2026)

Imagine, right when you think you have got life figured out, your daughter disappears. That’s how Run Away starts. A father spots his missing child playing guitar in a park after months of silence. She runs, and suddenly, the search turns into a mess of lies and people who clearly want her story buried.

Based on Harlan Coben’s novel, Run Away is not just about a girl vanishing. It is about how far someone will go to fix what broke right in front of them. The deeper this dad digs, the more he finds and the more messed up the truth becomes. Imagine the worst thing possible you can find, including drugs and violence, along with a missing child. And none of it is random, by the way. If you like your mysteries with lots of buried family drama and sus strangers, this one is a must-watch.

Stay Close (2021)

If you loved the balance of a small town and Seven Dials’ balanced quiet towns and loud secrets, Stay Close is right up that alley. Stay Close is about Megan, a suburban mum who has spent years hiding her true identity. But when a detective and a missing person’s case bring up secrets she buried long ago, everything begins to fall apart. Every lie. Every choice. All of it is crawling back to the surface.

As she tries to protect her family, the truth about who she used to be starts clawing its way back. We are looking at missing people and suspicious deaths, and every piece of this puzzle matters. What hits hardest is how close danger feels in every scene. You are not watching just a murder mystery. You are watching lives collapse. Here, the fear is not just about what happened. It is about who still remembers it.

The Capture (2019-2022)

If Seven Dials left you obsessed with secret meetings, The Capture is about to help you scratch that itch. It starts with something simple when a soldier is accused of a crime. There is CCTV footage and a trial that seems open and shut. Sounds simple, right? But then someone zooms in, and suddenly, the footage is not so reliable. The moment you realise the tape might have been doctored, you are already too far in to stop.

The show throws you headfirst into a world of surveillance and government control and, worst of all, terrifying tech manipulation. But just like Seven Dials, it keeps you second-guessing everything. Is the truth even possible in a world where video evidence can be edited? Honestly, if you are into puzzles and conspiracies, then this is your next obsession. Be warned, though, The Capture does not hand out answers easily.
