Despite being a simple and elegant approach to dark matter physics, the validity of the effective operator analysis is under siege. Beyond the effective operator approach of the dark matter, we considered two simplified models of dark matter with $Z^\prime$s, which have richer physics, consistent with all current constraints and present interesting signatures at the LHC.
