What defines Supernatural, going by its Boxlist taste profile: Otherworldly and morally murky: a serious fantasy series, small-scale rather than epic. Best if you like edge over warmth.

Here are 15 shows with a similar feel, ranked by how closely they match that profile. Treat them as picks to try, not a definitive list.
