Z Nation
Similarities – Zombies & Family Unit
If you’re looking for a zombie apocalypse show that will keep you entertained from start to finish, Z Nation is the perfect choice.
This show is all about having as much fun as possible while also raising the stakes every season. The later segments are great fun and the tight-knit family vibes make it an easy sell.
Z Nation is a new show on the Syfy network that follows a group of survivors as they fight to survive in a post-apocalyptic America. Our reviews of the first season are available here. ..
Black Summer
Similarities – Action & Frantic Set-Pieces
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.

Kingdom
Similarities – Zombies
Kingdom is a beautifully presented and dripping in Asian culture zombie action-thriller that seamlessly blends political drama with a thrilling action plot. The first season is full of beautifully shot set pieces, while the second season features an even more intense and thrilling plot. ..
The show is full of tension and suspense, leading to the welcome prospect of a possible third season on the horizon.
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!
To The Lake
Similarities – Gritty slow-burn
To The Lake is a mix of the first half of 28 Days Later and The Walking Dead Season 1. The human drama is tense, the characters nicely developed, and the dystopian world is bleak and unforgiving. ..
It’s refreshing to find a series like this with such a controlled dose of dread without going overboard. This plays out much closer to a character-driven commentary about the selfishness and paranoia hidden away in all of us. ..
The recent outbreak of viral eyes is eerily similar to the viral outbreak we’re facing right now. ..
Our thoughts on To The Lake can be found in our full season review. ..
Fear The Walking Dead (Seasons 1-3)
Similarities – The Walking Dead Universe
Fear The Walking Dead is a forgettable zombie apocalypse movie that falls short of the quality of its predecessor.
The show has a great build up to a tense, post-apocalyptic finale. However, the later seasons – including the horrific season 5 – are sure to put you off. The first 3 are actually good at delivering a post-apocalyptic romp worth watching.
Fear the Walking Dead is an excellent show that is well worth your time. ..
Santa Clarita Diet
Similarities – Zombies
Santa Clarita Diet is a series about a Mum who turns into a zombie and has to adjust to her newfound undead life. The show is clever, well-written, and full of memorable characters. It’s a breath of fresh air in the zombie genre. ..
The Hammond family is struggling to adjust to their new reality after Sheila, the family’s realtor, dies suddenly and comes back from the dead. With Sheila’s death, the Hammons are left with a lot of questions and concerns about their life as a family.
Sheila’s husband Joel is struggling to find a cure to her condition, but the two juggle Sheila’s insatiable appetite for flesh. It’s funny, clever, and annoyingly ended prematurely with a cliffhanger third season. Still, it’s definitely worth a watch.

Falling Skies
Similarities – Action & Characters
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 its flaws, “The Office” is a good show with some decent episodes that make the ride worth taking. ..
The Walking Dead is a popular TV show with a following of fans who are looking for something similar. This show has a down-and-out vibe that some may find appealing.
Outcast
Similarities – Robert Kirkman
If you’re a fan of Robert Kirkman’s work, Outcast is a great alternative. Although this show doesn’t focus on zombies per se, the simple story revolves around a young man searching for answers as to why he’s been suffering from supernatural possessions. ..
Outcast is a gripping, dark series that perfectly captures the eerie horror and suspense that the early seasons of The Walking Dead conjured up so well.
Although the show was unfortunately cancelled after the second season, there is enough here to make it a solid watch nonetheless.
Survivors
Similarities – Outbreak & Characters
The world is on the brink of a new pandemic that has killed more than 90% of the population. Those who are immune must strive to survive and overcome the difficulties of this new world order. This new pandemic is similar to the one that killed millions of people in 2007.
BBC’s “Sherlock” is not the show that is currently airing on AMC, but instead a synopsis for the show that aired for 2 seasons. ..
The show is well written and the pacing is nicely balanced. The difficulty comes from the fact that it’s a relatively easy show to get into and a difficult one to put down.
Dead Set
Similarities – Zombies
The show has been praised for its unique and exciting plot, as well as its clever use of social media to keep viewers engaged.
Dead Set is a tense and well written series coming straight from the mind of Charlie Brooker. It’s horror at its best, with a mix of comedy that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Brooker has created an interesting and unique world that will keep you coming back for more.
This game is a unique take on the zombie genre, and it’s one that’s criminally underrated. If you’re looking for a new and exciting way to play zombie games, then you need to check out Survivors.
The Strain
