Shows that feel likeMonarch: Legacy of Monsters (2023–)

After surviving Godzilla's attack on San Francisco, Cate is shaken yet again by a shocking secret. Amid monstrous threats, she embarks on a globetrotting adventure to learn the truth about her family—and the mysterious organization known as Monarch.

If you loved Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, the closest series we have are Ahsoka (2023), A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (2026) and Warrior Nun (2020). All three share Monarch: Legacy of Monsters' cerebral and dreamlike feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (2008).
