The German spy-thriller Kleo was a quick watch for many as it was only 8-episode-long, and some people might have felt the season finale lacked closure. Most shows like Kleo tend to leave their viewers yearning for more episodes as the mystery never gets solved until the end. And as the 1st season’s final episode showed us, there is more to tell in Kleo’s story, which probably means there may be a Kleo Season 2 in the near future.
Until then, however, you may feel the need to look for other shows similar to Kleo that will give you the right amount of suspense and tension. Here is a list of 6 shows like Kleo for everyone to enjoy until a 2nd season comes knocking on our doors.
1. The Enemy Within
