What to Expect

PremiereLens read

Amsterdam Empire drops you into the cannabis trade with one foot in luxury and the other in genuine danger, and the contrast is the point. The world looks expensive, the consequences are lethal, and the show keeps those two registers rubbing against each other throughout.

Betrayal moves the plot more than any single criminal scheme. Infidelity fractures a relationship here, a boss-employee loyalty cracks there, and family grievances that predate the whole enterprise keep resurfacing at the worst moments. Revenge is less a plan than a pressure that builds across multiple relationships at once, so the criminal world and the personal one stay tangled rather than separate.

Steal

Strongest Match

Steal keeps the same Amsterdam Empire vibe of personal friction turning into fast, dangerous momentum. An office worker gets dragged into escalating criminal pressure with quick, escalating scenes and tense relationship fallout, so the danger feels intimate, not distant, and the pace stays sharper and more action-forward.

Crooks poster

Crooks

Netflix • Apr 14, 2026
DramaCrime

Charly's quiet life with family in Berlin disrupted when past associates threaten them, forcing him to steal coin. Charly and driver Joseph, fatefully collided, now flee with family to escape danger.

View show
Why this pick

Crooks shares Amsterdam Empire’s focus on family and loyalty under pressure, where everyday life cracks and danger moves in fast. The chase-driven plotting and father-son, husband-wife strain keep the tension grounded in protecting loved ones, with fewer glamorous flourishes and a more urgent, relentless sprint.

Gangs of London poster

Gangs of London

Sky Atlantic • Jan 15, 2026
Action & AdventureDrama

Tells the story of London being torn apart by the turbulent power struggles of its international gangs and the sudden power vacuum that's created when the head of London's most powerful crime family is assassinated.

View show
Why this pick

Gangs of London and Amsterdam Empire both thrive on betrayal that spreads through a city, turning every connection into a risk. Expect brutal confrontations and revenge heat that hits repeatedly, with shifting loyalties across a crowded cast, making it darker, louder, and larger-scale than the more intimate, relationship-centered crime drama.
