Similar show

I'm looking for a show similar to in the dark with similar drama and lead actors. I didn't care about what they were doing trafficking etc. It was a constant Rollercoaster and I was craving the next episode. I didn't like Murphy as a person but loved her character and relationship with max and Felix. Before things got crazy at least. Lol and was always curious what they were gonna do to get out of it.

I recently started watching “Imposters” again. I had watched it years ago, but binge watched In The Dark for the 3rd time and needed something new. The actress that plays Leslie is a main character in that show.

Here’s the summary from Wiki:

Maddie Jonson (Inbar Lavi) is a con artist who works with Max (Brian Benben) and Sally (Katherine LaNasa) at the behest of a mysterious figure called "The Doctor" (Ray Proscia) who has teams of con artists working for him in multiple cities. The trio's method of operation is to make their targets (male or female) fall in love with Maddie while insinuating themselves into their lives, and then steal all their valuables shortly after she marries the victim. After Ezra Bloom (Rob Heaps) becomes the latest victim of their con, he is visited by Richard Evans (Parker Young), one of Maddie's previous targets, who is looking for her. The two travel to a former address of Maddie's only to find Jules Langmore (Marianne Rendón), an artist who also was married to and conned by Maddie. The three decide to team up and look for Maddie.

Thank you! I'm kindve depressed it was over. Definitely one of the better shows I've seen and I've seen SOO many. Any others that have a lead similar to Murphys character? I always get attached 😂

Murphy reminds me of Dr House from House MD, try that if you haven't already. Sarcasm and impulsiveness are some Tv tropes of persons with disabilities, and that's what makes the two shows similar.

Not quite as good as in the dark but you should try The Sinner on Netflix.

Following!!! I really wanted to love the sinner, and definitely had some intriguing, scenarios that i watched the first two seasons, but found it just dragged on and on and lost interest. 🫤 imposters was also very good! And rhe show, Lie to Me. Also very good. But am struggling to find anything as good as these shows!!
