Cross-media recommendations across film, TV, games, books & music — picked by taste.

Darkness: Those Who Kill follows investigator Jan and profiler Louise as they trace a series of killings, perpetually at the edge of the murderer's awareness — close enough to read the pattern, never safely ahead of it. The taste it signals is Scandinavian procedural dread: methodical, psychologically interior, and uncomfortable with easy resolution. Across media, you're drawn to stories where catching a killer requires becoming fluent in how one thinks — and where that fluency costs something.

Frequently asked

What should I watch after Darkness: Those Who Kill?

Start with The Killing for the same Copenhagen procedural atmosphere, then Those Who Kill (2011) for the near-identical detective-plus-forensic-psychiatrist pairing. Through the Darkness adds a Korean serial-murder lens with the same profiling focus.

What games are like Darkness: Those Who Kill?

Those Who Remain shares the show's oppressive atmosphere and a small town under the grip of something predatory. The Darkness puts you inside the killer's perspective, which mirrors the show's uncomfortable closeness to the murderer's viewpoint.

Why does Darkness: Those Who Kill feel so tense?

The series keeps its investigators at the edge of the killer's awareness — close enough to read the pattern, never safe enough to feel ahead of it. That persistent threat of exposure, not just danger to others, is what drives the dread.
