Dexter: Resurrection poster

Dexter: Resurrection

Paramount+ with Showtime • Jul 11 • 2025
CrimeDrama

Dexter Morgan awakens from a coma and sets out for New York City, determined to find Harrison and make things right. But when Miami Metro's Angel Batista arrives with questions, Dexter realizes his past is catching up to him fast.

Why This Pick

Dexter: Resurrection scratches the same itch for a crime life colliding with family bonds, the way Power Book III: Raising Kanan pressures Kanan through his mother-son survival pact. You get father-son tension under pursuit pressure, with guilt and secrecy driving the danger, but it leans colder and more solitary than the tight 1990s NYC family circle.

Gangs of London poster

Gangs of London

Sky Atlantic • Jan 15 • 2020
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.

Why This Pick

Gangs of London brings the revenge-and-loyalty pressure of Power Book III: Raising Kanan into a bigger, more brutal street war. The show hits with constant betrayal across shifting factions and frequent physical confrontations, so the danger feels larger-scale and faster, even as family loyalty still determines who gets hurt.
