Shows like Blindspot
15 picks with a similar feel
What defines Blindspot, going by its Boxlist taste profile: Expect a morally murky, serious crime series, gritty rather than glossy. Best if you like depth over escapism. Its strongest markers on Boxlist are themes of deep rivalry and mysteries that are not what they seem, plus tags such as puzzle, tattoo and memory loss.
