Both series are a Thai Netflix original. Both can be watched in one sitting as it has less than 10 episodes, and both also touches the aspect of entrepreneurship. However, The Believers dabbles in Thai religions and the business (aka scam) that comes with it while Mad Unicorn dabbles solely on a legal startup.
Both have good pacing, and it also contains shocking twists and stressors that will get you on the edge of your seat.
In addition, Peach, who plays Ken in Mad Unicorn, is also one of the main protagonists in The Believers, who's named Game.

- Religion as a Business Venture: Both titles explore the intersection of faith and capitalism. If you find the "religion as a scam" angle fascinating, both will scratch that itch.
- Opportunistic Protagonists: Both features follow grifters or outsiders attempting to navigate and exploit an established, rigid belief system for personal gain.
- The Cautionary Tale: Both function as dark cautionary tales about the destructive power of greed. They don't just rely on "good vs. evil," but rather "desperate vs. cynical."
- High-Stakes Tension: While both are thrilling and fast-paced, they excel at building tension through "heist-like" planning. The protagonists are constantly in over their heads.
- Atmospheric Thai Cinema/TV: If you are enjoying the surge of high-quality, morally gray Thai content, both are masterclasses in tone. They offer a grounded, sometimes gritty, look at modern society while maintaining the mystery inherent in traditional spiritual practices.
