RELATED: The Best Games Based On TV Shows, According To Metacritic
The fact that this series got the second season it deserved is definitely great news for fans of the series. However, the wait for this second chapter can prove to be quite exhausting… although the shows mentioned on this list can help players bear with this wait.
10 Dexter
Dexter is another excellent Showtime series that is full to the brim with tense situations and a ton of grisly moments to keep fans of Yellowjackets occupied for quite some time. The show takes an in-depth look into the mind of everyone’s favorite serial killer, Dexter Morgan.
The last few seasons might’ve lost the plot, but Dexter: New Blood is considered by many to be a great return to form for the series. Any fan of suspenseful thrillers should definitely check Dexter out.
9 Lost
Given the premise of Yellowjackets, it goes without saying that Lost would be a great recommendation for its fans. Both series take a look at the lives of people who are left stranded in uncharted territory after a plane crash.
While Yellowjackets might feature a more complex narrative, it still has many things in common with Lost. This is precisely why so many people love this series with a passion.
8 Dark
Dark is easily one of the more complex shows on this list. Of course, Yellowjackets itself isn’t really the simplest series around, so it’s possible that fans of its narrative will love Dark as well.

This German series took the world by storm with its intriguing narrative that’s so complicated that most people can’t even follow the plot at times. However, sticking with this show is worth it since this complex narrative has a satisfying payoff that is very much worthwhile.
7 Y: The Last Man
Y: The Last Man is a critically-acclaimed comic series that focused on the life of a man who is the sole survivor of an apocalyptic event that killed all the men in the world. It’s a great premise that the show definitely makes the most of.
It’s a shame that FX canceled this show because of budgetary constraints stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. Fans can only hope that this show will find a home on another network that’s willing to give it a chance, which they very much should.
6 Fargo
Fargo is a brilliant crime drama that features some of the most stunning cinematography ever seen in a show. Of course, this is only one of the many strengths of Fargo, with each season delivering a gripping drama that is an absolute joy to uncover.
The star-studded cast of each season, coupled with amazing stories and characters, makes for a great watch indeed. Fans of suspenseful shows like Yellowjackets will definitely fall in love with the beautiful storytelling of Fargo.
5 Mindhunter
David Fincher has been at the helm of creating several amazing psychological dramas, with Mindhunter being another stellar chapter in his esteemed legacy. The show takes a look at the creation of the Behavioral Science Unit in the FBI and how they delve deeper into the twisted minds of psychopaths and murderers.
Unfortunately, it seems that Mindhunter won’t continue past its second season due to its high production costs. This is a shame, and one can only hope that Netflix reverses this decision sooner rather than later.
4 Snowpiercer
Watching a group of people survive by the skin of their teeth is a theme that’s common in both Snowpiercer in Yellowjackets. The former also happens to be a scathing look at classism and how it brings out the worst in humans as well.
Both the movie and show of Snowpiercer are pretty great in their own right. Of course, the TV series features more of an in-depth look into the world of Snowpiercer, which is also pretty engaging in its own right.
3 The Night Manager
Tom Hiddleston is a brilliant actor whose stock has blown up ever since his amazing role as Loki in the MCU. He’s been featured in several other shows and movies since then, including the massively underrated The Night Manager.

This miniseries features Hugh Laurie as a villain as well, and both lead actors are absolutely hypnotic to watch in this show. The Night Manager is a brief yet awe-inspiring watch that any fan of great spy thrillers should definitely check out.
2 Hannibal
Hannibal is one of the most popular fictional characters of all time. He’s been portrayed in several forms of media, with the eponymous TV series being one of his most memorable and enchanting appearances.
It helps that the series is pretty great in its own right, with the second season being considered by many to be one of the greatest series in television. Knowing this, it’s a shame that Hannibal was shelved with a third and final season where all plot points needed to be hastily wrapped up.
1 Narcos
A crime drama that was all the rage on Netflix, Narcos is a brilliant show that took a look at the drug empire of Pablo Escobar and the Cali Cartel. The show is full to the brim with intense and memorable moments, making for an addictive watch indeed.
It’s a shame that this great show only has three seasons. While Narcos: Mexico is also pretty engaging in its own right, it’s still nowhere near as exciting as the original series.
