Synopsis
A 1990s Taipei prosecutor hunts a serial killer who feeds his crimes to live television.
What makes Copycat Killer worth watching
Adapted from the Miyabe Miyuki novel.
Copycat Killer represents a strong example of taiwan crime from the 2023 production cycle. Taiwanese studios have spent the past decade refining the kind of long-form storytelling on display here — careful character work, restrained pacing in the early episodes, and a willingness to let emotional beats land without overstatement. The blend of Crime and Mystery elements gives the show its tonal signature, sitting somewhere between mainstream comfort viewing and prestige drama.
The cast is led by Wu Kang-ren, Ruby Lin, Aaron Yan, with strong supporting work from Christopher Lee. It originally aired on Netflix, and has since travelled internationally through the streaming partnerships listed above.
