Shows that feel likeMarvel's Inhumans (2017)

After the Royal Family of Inhumans is splintered by a military coup, they barely escape to Hawaii where their surprising interactions with the lush world and humanity around them may prove to not only save them, but Earth itself.

If you loved Marvel's Inhumans, the closest series we have are Marvel's Runaways (2017), Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (2013) and DC's Stargirl (2020). All three share Marvel's Inhumans' contemplative and cerebral feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

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