Shows that feel likeMarvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (2013–2020)

Agent Phil Coulson of S.H.I.E.L.D. (Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division) puts together a team of agents to investigate the new, the strange and the unknown around the globe, protecting the ordinary from the extraordinary.

If you loved Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., the closest series we have are Marvel's Runaways (2017), Marvel's The Defenders (2017) and DC's Stargirl (2020). All three share Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s cerebral and dreamlike feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Gifted (2017).
