Colony
Similarities – Characters
The cancellation of Colony has left many fans of the show feeling disappointed. The premise is interesting and the show has potential, but it’s been largely unexplored. With only a few episodes left, it’s clear that Colony won’t be making a return to TV any time soon.
The show is primarily sci-fi in nature, but it also leans into its character drama. The show expertly balances tension with familial issues, building up to a really dramatic send-off at the end of the series.
The Last Ship
Similarities – Isolation & Outbreak
The Last Ship is a show that takes place on a naval destroyer out at sea. While the crew does dock at various different locations, there’s an intriguing main premise at work here. The show explores the effects of an outbreak that decimates most of the world’s population, but from the confines of a naval destroyer out at sea. This show is surprisingly underrated and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys science fiction or naval stories.
After running for five seasons, the show does seem to run out of steam. However, if you’re looking for a different type of outbreak story, this show may be up your alley. ..
The Walking Dead
Similarities – Outbreak
The Walking Dead franchise continues to produce spin-offs, sequels, and movie adaptations to Robert Kirkman’s original comic book. ..
The Walking Dead is a show that perfectly captures the essence of surviving against the undead. While the later seasons do lose their way, The Walking Dead is undeniably a decent apocalypse choice with (arguably) four great seasons followed by a declining quality to its final 11th season.
The Walking Dead season 5 is now available on Netflix. The fifth and final season of the zombie-apocalyptic series is now available to watch. The show has been a huge hit with viewers and critics alike, and we thought it was time to give our thoughts on the latest episode. In this episode, “The Governor’s Plan,” Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and his team of survivors are forced to fight for their lives against the Governor (David Morrissey) and his army of zombies. The battle is intense but ultimately successful, as Rick leads his team to victory. Overall, The Walking Dead season 5 was an amazing ride and we can’t wait for the next installment which is set to air in October. If you’re looking for a zombie-filled adventure that will keep you entertained from start to finish, then check out Season 5 of The Walking Dead on Netflix today!
The Purge
Similarities – Tension & Every Man For Themselves
The Purge is a series that has been in development hell for years, with many reports of studios not being interested in the idea of a horror-themed TV series. After two seasons, The Purge has finally delivered on its promise and delivered an interesting and scary story that is worthy of the premise. ..
The second season of “The Walking Dead” is a surprisingly gripping affair, revolving around separate groups of people banding together to try and survive Purge night – an event where crime is legal for 24 hours. While the first season does squander its potential, the second manages to build on the successes of the first and create a more compelling story. ..
To The Lake is a suspenseful family drama that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
The Purge is a new series that premiered on October 14th, 2017. The Purge is a horror movie that follows the lives of people who are chosen to have their lives taken by the government.

Better Than Us
Similarities – Androids
Better Than Us is a Russian drama revolving around a family on the brink of splitting up. Although not quite as endearing as BBC’s android-centric Humans, Better Than Us is an interesting show that deserves to be watched. ..
In this futuristic story, robots have become an everyday part of human life. However, a rebel group intend to put a stop to this before robots take over every aspect of our lives. The story follows the struggles of these individuals as they try to fight for their rights against the machines.
Better Than Us is a gripping thriller that builds into an espionage-style story as it progresses. The show has a strong sense of atmosphere and makes you feel like you’re right there in the action.
In our episode reviews, we talk about how Better Than Us is a great new show that is worth watching.
Survivors
Similarities – Outbreak & Characters
The virus has killed more than 90% of the world’s population, and those immune must strive to survive and overcome the difficulties of this new world order. The synopsis is undoubtedly similar to To The Lake’s, but this BBC drama has more than enough gas in the tank.
The characters are well written, the pacing nicely balanced and the relatively easy 12 episode run-time (6 episodes a season) makes this an easy show to get into and a difficult one to put down. ..
Kingdom
Similarities – Suspense & Characters
Kingdom is a zombie action-thriller that splits across two seasons. The first season is focused on political drama while the second season focuses on action. The show is beautifully presented and dripping in Asian culture, making it a must-watch for fans of the genre.
The show is well-balanced, with both action and drama. This gives fans the hope for a possible third season. ..
Kingdom is a new show on Netflix that we think is great. We’re going to be reviewing it throughout the season so be sure to check it out!
Falling Skies
Similarities – Action
Falling Skies is a show about people who live on a planet that’s been hit by an alien attack and the struggles they face as they try to survive. The show has a lot of drama, action and tense segments in it, but it’s also very much a story about the characters. The finale at the end of season 5 is generally considered to be dreadful.
Despite the fact that the show had a decent run, it’s not as good as some of its contemporaries. If you’re looking for something that has a similar up-and-down vibe to To The Lake and characters you can get behind, this one may be worth a shout.
Black Summer
Similarities – Start Of The Outbreak
The show follows the journey of a small group of people as they attempt to survive in a world that has been destroyed by a black summer. The show is interesting because it takes a different approach to the post-apocalyptic genre and does an excellent job of portraying the downfall of humanity.
Despite some strange stylistic choices and questionable character logic, Black Summer is a consistently dangerous season with intelligent, fast zombies and an extremely tense atmosphere gripping most of the episodes.
Black Summer is a season of change for the CW’s Arrow. After five seasons of building up Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) as a hero, the showrunners decided to take a different approach this year. They introduced the idea that Oliver is not the only one who can be a hero, and that there are other people in Starling City who can help protect it. This season, Black Summer, saw the city under siege by members of The League of Assassins. The team-up between Oliver and his former enemy John Diggle (David Ramsey) was essential to stopping them, but it also showed that they have more in common than they thought. In the end, Black Summer proved to be a turning point for both characters, and set up an exciting future for Arrow. ..
Jericho
Similarities – Small Band Of Survivors
A small town in Kansas is left in the dark after seeing a mushroom cloud over nearby Denver, Colorado. With radio transmissions out and lots of unanswered questions, this small town tries to figure out what happened and how to survive. ..
The show was abruptly cancelled by CBS after only one season due to low ratings. The fans were so angry in fact, 20 tons of peanuts were sent to the CBS offices in a bid to reinstate the show. It worked too!
Jericho is a decent show. ..
