Shows that feel likeMarvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (2013–2020)
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).
If Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. hit the spot, these will too

Ordinary-looking lives hiding powers, and a team learning to trust each other
The difference: Teen soap at the centre — high-school angst instead of globe-trotting missions

A team assembled out of people who would rather work alone
The difference: Street-level and grim, over in eight episodes

Common ground: superhero

Marvel at a scale the films never bother with
The difference: One hero, one neighbourhood, and far more style

The same preoccupation in both: superhero

Both land stillness and ideas at once

Marvel's odder corners on a TV budget, powered people passing as ordinary
The difference: Eight episodes of palace intrigue, with none of the squad chemistry

Corporate conspiracies and hand-to-hand fights in the Marvel margins
The difference: Grimmer and slower — one man's identity crisis rather than an ensemble

The same mix in both: dream logic, then momentum

Spy paranoia in the Marvel world, where anyone might not be who they claim
The difference: A grim six-episode run with none of the warmth of a long-running crew

Marvel's second string given room to carry their own story
The difference: Glossier and shorter, with real-world politics

A Marvel series that swerves into genuinely odd territory
The difference: One fractured character, live action and much darker
