FX · Crime · Mr Inbetween is ended
Ray Shoesmith is not a conventional antihero. He is competent, direct, and painfully self-aware. The appeal of Mr Inbetween lies not in watching a criminal do increasingly terrible things for profit or power, but in watching a flawed man try to navigate the obligations that come with being someone people depend on. He is a father, a friend, a romantic partner, and yes, a criminal for hire, and the show treats each of these roles with equal weight. This is what sets it apart from the typical crime drama: the criminal life is not the entire story, nor is it framed as either romantic or inevitable.
The best shows like Mr Inbetween
1. Goliath
Billy McBride, like Ray Shoesmith, is a man rebuilding himself after losing everything, defined by his relationships as much as his flaws. The show has the same tight focus on character over spectacle, and Billy's struggle against an overwhelming system has the same underlying theme: that personal integrity matters even when the odds are stacked against you.

2. Sneaky Pete
This show shares Mr Inbetween's understanding that a criminal's life is not separate from his personal life, but inseparable from it. The premise turns on identity and family, and the tension between who the protagonist was and who he is trying to become drives the drama in much the same way Ray's juggling of roles does.

3. Imperfect Women
Where Mr Inbetween uses crime to examine a man's relationships, Imperfect Women uses a crime to examine three women's bonds. The show focuses on how people change when confronted with truth, and how betrayal and survival reshape the connections we thought were solid.

4. Power Book IV: Force
Tommy Egan's move to Chicago is a power play, but the show pays close attention to the mechanics of his ambition and the details of his operation in the same way Mr Inbetween does. If you appreciate the criminal procedural elements and the character work beneath them, this series delivers both.

5. A Good Girl's Guide to Murder
Like Ray in his own way, Pip refuses to accept easy answers or let things rest, and her investigation pulls her into dangerous territory. The show shares Mr Inbetween's refusal to let moral ambiguity slide, and its willingness to show the personal cost of pursuing the truth.

More on shows like Mr Inbetween
Fans of Mr Inbetween tend to gravitate toward shows that respect this balance. They want characters who are defined by more than their worst decisions, and they want to see how those characters manage the friction between who they are and who they want to be. They appreciate lean, efficient storytelling over sprawling conspiracy narratives. And they want dialogue that sounds like how people actually talk, not exposition dressed up as conversation. The shows that follow understand that the most interesting part of a crime story is often what happens between the crimes.
The recommendations here span different approaches to that same problem. Goliath centers a man trying to rebuild himself after everything has fallen apart, fighting a system bigger than he is. Sneaky Pete uses identity and family as a lens on the same theme: a criminal trying to become someone new, even as his past pulls at him. Imperfect Women takes the drama more intimate, showing how a single act of violence fractures three lives and forces a reckoning with truth. Power Book IV: Force is the outlier, following a protagonist who is purely ambitious and kingpin-bound, but it shares the detail-oriented approach to criminal life. A Good Girl's Guide to Murder is the furthest from the source material, but it shares the core appeal: a smart protagonist who refuses to accept easy answers, and the personal cost of that refusal.
