What to Watch After Taboo

Beyond Taboo: Four Dark Tales of Power, Revenge, and Intrigue

If you were spellbound by the shadowy streets of 1814 London in Taboo, you’ll find a strikingly diverse quartet of series ready to satisfy that same appetite for intrigue, vengeance, and moral gray zones. Fresh Heist Thriller (Steal) thrusts viewers into a contemporary corporate heist that spirals into a web of corruption, while Revenge‑Driven Fan Favorite (Mercy for None) plunges a former gangster back into Seoul’s underworld to avenge his brother’s death. Semantic Twin of Taboo (The Asset) follows an undercover agent whose identity blurs as she infiltrates a drug empire, and Historical Assassin Epic (Néro the Assassin) transports the audience to a war‑torn 1500s France where a lone killer protects his estranged daughter against prophecy‑driven foes.

Together, these picks span the spectrum—from a brand‑new, pulse‑pounding crime drama to a beloved, high‑stakes revenge saga, from a tight thematic echo of Taboo’s dark conspiracies to a timeless, sword‑and‑blood adventure. Each title captures the essence of Taboo’s gritty storytelling while offering its own unique flavor, ensuring that fans can dive deeper into worlds where power, betrayal, and personal vendettas reign supreme.
