18 TV shows to watch if you love Jason Statham films

Collider published a list of 18 shows to watch if you love Jason Statham movies, updated 14 hours ago.

The piece notes Statham has been a defining figure in modern action cinema since the late 1990s, beginning with smaller roles in Guy Ritchie’s Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch before moving on to headline slick, high-energy thrillers. It argues that prestige television now offers more artistic freedom to tell nuanced stories over time and recommends series that echo hallmarks of Statham’s films: bravura action, dark humor, anti-hero protagonists and grounded hand-to-hand combat.

Examples called out include House of Guinness for its bravura action and dark humor (the list says it was likely just as expensive as Statham’s blockbusters), Taboo and 24 for their immersive intensity, Daredevil for its emphasis on practical combat, Luther—which spawned a film and is set for an upcoming sequel—and Barry, whose four-season run concluded with a divisive finale. The list mixes eras and tones to point viewers toward shows that capture qualities fans of Statham’s work may enjoy.
