Shows that feel likeSEAL Team (2017–2024)

Military drama following the professional and personal lives of the most elite unit of Navy SEALs as they train, plan and execute the most dangerous, high stakes missions our country can ask of them.

If you loved SEAL Team, the closest series we have are Shooter (2016), The Pacific (2010) and The Last Ship (2014). All three share SEAL Team's kinetic and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Into the Badlands (2015).

A military unit as family, executing under impossible pressure

The difference: Post-apocalyptic mission, higher concept and less grounded

Loyalty pulled between the men beside you and the men above you

The difference: Medieval politics and shifting kingdoms, with no procedural rhythm

A show of heroic deeds and epic battles with a thematic depth that embraces politics, religion, warfare, courage, love, loyalty and our universal search for identity. Combining real historical figures and events with fictional characters, it is the story of how a people combined their strength under one of the most iconic kings of history in order to reclaim their land for themselves and build a place they call home.

Modern covert operations and the cost of doing them well

The difference: CIA rather than SEALs, and much colder

Elite fighters bound by a code and a chain of command

The difference: Martial-arts fantasy in a post-collapse world

In a land controlled by feudal barons, a great warrior and a young boy embark on a journey across a dangerous land to find enlightenment. A genre-bending martial arts series very loosely based on the classic Chinese tale Journey to the West.
