Shows that feel likeWarrior (2019–2023)

A gritty, action-packed crime drama set during the brutal Tong Wars of San Francisco’s Chinatown in the second half of the 19th century. The series follows Ah Sahm, a martial arts prodigy who immigrates from China to San Francisco under mysterious circumstances, and becomes a hatchet man for one of Chinatown’s most powerful tongs.

If you loved Warrior, the closest series we have are 9-1-1 (2018), Bloodhounds (2023) and FBI (2018). All three share Warrior's gritty and contemplative feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Godless (2017).
