  1. Power Book IV: Force poster

    Closest match

    STARZ · Nov 7, 2025

    Power Book IV: Force

    IMDb 8.1

    Why this fits: Power Book IV: Force keeps the revenge-crime pressure close to the skin, with a single operator making hard pivots as alliances break and danger tightens. M.I.A. and Force both lean on personal reinvention under threat, but Force is more lone-operator and mission-driven than Miami’s found-family escalation.

    • street-level crime
    • lone operator
  2. Crooks poster

    Direct match

    Netflix · Apr 14, 2026

    Crooks

    IMDb 7.0

    Why this fits: Crooks delivers the same urgent, family-protection tension as M.I.A., where ordinary life collapses and every decision turns into a chase. M.I.A. centers cartel revenge with neon-lit underbelly danger, while Crooks pushes propulsive flight-and-pursuit stakes, keeping the emotional weight on keeping loved ones safe.

    • family survival
    • flight and pursuit
  3. Gangs of London poster

    Direct match

    AMC+ · Jan 15, 2026

    Gangs of London

    IMDb 8.0

    Why this fits: Gangs of London scratches the same betrayal-and-revenge itch as M.I.A., with loyalties snapping fast and violence escalating through shifting factions. M.I.A. builds from personal loss into cartel confrontation, while Gangs of London goes bigger and harsher, flooding the screen with visceral gang wars and constant deception.

    • gang politics
    • revenge
  4. Power Book III: Raising Kanan poster

    Deeper cut

    STARZ · Jun 12, 2026

    Power Book III: Raising Kanan

    IMDb 7.7

    Why this fits: M.I.A. leans into revenge crime drama where identity gets reshaped under pressure and dangerous friendships demand loyalty. Power Book III: Raising Kanan keeps that survival focus but narrows it to mother-son conflict and street-level choices, with family conflict driving the fallout.

    • survival
  5. Turn of the Tide poster

    Deeper cut

    Netflix · Apr 10, 2026

    Turn of the Tide

    IMDb 7.4

    Why this fits: M.I.A. delivers neon underworld chase momentum with cartel takedown stakes and found-family loyalty that can turn lethal. Turn of the Tide is a slow-burn crime drama that traps a small group on an island, trading chase spectacle for greed-fueled moral erosion and loyalty betrayal.

    • slow-burn crime drama
    • tight-knit friend fallout
    • ordinary lives unravel
  6. The Queen of Flow poster

    Deeper cut

    Netflix · Jan 14, 2026

    The Queen of Flow

    IMDb 7.7

    Why this fits: M.I.A. centers on identity under pressure and revenge crime drama where dangerous friendships collide with cartel-level danger. The Queen of Flow swaps the neon underworld chase for operatic revenge and stolen identity, using family conflict and music industry drama to keep the plot soap-opera fast.

    • operatic revenge
    • stolen identity
    • family conflict
