* ''Series/{{Dexter}}'': [[Characters/DexterDexterMorgan Dexter Morgan]] gets a few in the series.
** Perhaps the most notable is Debra, his sister. Dexter is very much in control of his life and [[DarkSecret is also a serial killer]]. Debra's personal life is a constant mess, but she's a brilliant detective and believes in the strength of the legal process. Both of them also have amazing natural intuition, which helps them both track down serial killers.
** The Ice Truck Killer, a.k.a. [[spoiler:Rudy Cooper, a.k.a. Brian, his brother]]. Both have an instinctual need to kill and enjoy their respective rituals. However, Dexter is [[TheFettered bound by his code]] and has loved ones he doesn't want to hurt, whilst [[spoiler:Brian]] is AxCrazy and only cares about fulfilling his need.
** Arthur Mitchell, the Trinity Killer. Like Brian, both Dexter and Trinity have a ritualistic need to kill that stems from a FreudianExcuse. They're also both family men with a wife and children to look after. The difference is Dexter actually cares about his family and treats them with respect, while Trinity is an [[AbusiveParents Abusive Parent]] with control issues.
** The Brain Surgeon, a.k.a. [[spoiler:Oliver Saxon, a.k.a. Daniel Vogel]]. He is even viewed as mirroring the Ice Truck Killer in almost all of his tendencies, but his desire is to harm Dexter while [[spoiler:Brian]]'s was to be in Dexter's life and free him from the Code. In addition, as opposed to [[spoiler:Brian]], the Brain Surgeon shared Dexter's ultimate goal of living a normal life.

** Despite both of them being good, loving mothers with unfaithful husbands, Asya and her mother Ayla couldn't be more different. Although initially presented as very [[MirrorCharacter similar characters]], it's [[TheReveal revealed]] that Ayla forces Asya's father Nazmi to marry her because she's pregnant. Meanwhile, Asya marries Volkan out of love. As it also turns out, Asya's father Nazmi was going to marry Asya Günalan until he had an affair with Ayla. Nazmi keeps loving Günalan, so the situation inevitably becomes unbearable, and, instead of divorcing him, Ayla decides to kill them both. By contrast, Asya is very decisive in wanting to divorce Volkan when she discovers his infidelity and eventually stops loving him.
** Ali and Demir experience an HourglassPlot with respect to their CharacterDevelopment. Ali starts out as a sweet kid if sometimes a tad spoiled and struggling to stand up for himself; he's that way because his parents are attentive and [[GoodCopBadCop balance each other]] in terms of discipline. Meanwhile, Demir is initially an arrogant [[TheBully bully]]; while he too has a loving family, they are prone to spoil him rotten and discipline him not because what he's done is wrong but because he's publicly embarrassed the family. As Ali's parents' divorce becomes too much for him and his father starts manipulating him, Ali becomes very short-tempered, self-centered, and occasionally aggressive to the point of struggling to acknowledge that he's hurt his friends. By contrast, and thanks to Ali and Selen's friendship (as well as Asya teaming up with his mother), Demir mellows out a huge deal and becomes more considerate of other people's feelings. Additionally, Demir used to mock Ali for whatever scandal his parents had gotten themselves into, strongly associating "bad parents, bad child". Now, he defends Ali from such accusations and doesn't hold it against Ali when everyone believes that [[spoiler: Ali's mother let Demir's father die]]. Meanwhile, Ali constantly lashes out at his friends when he suspects they've betrayed him (by talking about a man he hates) without bothering to ask for context.

There's a lot of parallels between different characters, both those in direct contact with each other (like [=McNulty=] and Kima) and some from across different storylines entirely (like D'Angelo Barksdale and Nicky Sobotka). Most conspicuous are the duos of Herc and Carver and Bubbles and Johnny.

Johnny is Bubbles's protégé in the streets, but is much more blasé about their predicament and has an "us vs. them" mentality towards the police. Eventually, the underlying differences in both pairs lead the characters in very different directions.

** Faith to Buffy. Faith is a cynical, dark-haired HardDrinkingPartyGirl who ReallyGetsAround and becomes a HeelFaceRevolvingDoor throughout the series, while Buffy is an idealistic, blonde former cheerleader who prefers long-term, meaningful relationships and always remains firmly on the side of good, despite having some {{Jerkass}} moments along the road. Faith is mostly a loner, while Buffy is strongest when she has the backing of her friends.
** Angel and Spike, the only two known souled vampires in history, in both their souled and unsouled personas.
*** When unsouled, Angelus was Spike's original EvilMentor, but the two had very different attitudes towards killing. Angelus prefers the SerialKiller approach, stalking and tormenting helpless victims who can't fight back and utterly destroying their lives before killing them. Spike is a BloodKnight who seeks the thrill of a good fight, and [[HeroKiller targets Slayers]] specifically because they are the toughest opponents he can find. Angelus treats Darla and Drusilla as little more than sex objects and is truly a monster who cares about nobody but himself, while Spike has some redeeming qualities and genuinely loves Drusilla and later Buffy, even if his lack of a soul prevents him from expressing this in any way other than as a StalkerWithACrush. Angelus has to have his soul forced upon him with a curse, while Spike fights to regain his on purpose. Angelus spends most of Season 2 toying with Buffy to destroy her mentally, while the more pragmatic Spike urges him to just kill her before he really angers her. Angelus ultimately plots to destroy the world in the Season 2 finale, while Spike helps Buffy stop him as he actually [[EvilVersusOblivion likes the world the way it is]].

** Robin Wood (''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'') could be considered one to Daniel Holtz, a BigBad of ''Series/{{Angel}}'' Season 3. Both lost their families to vampires (ironically, the vampires in question are Angel and Spike, respectively) and sought vengeance. Like Holtz, Wood found positively no solace in Spike's ensoulment or remorse and only cared about his revenge. However, Robin eventually managed to let go of his hatred and become a trusted friend and ally to the Scooby Gang, whereas Holtz was single-mindedly consumed by his desire for vengeance to his last breath.
