Shows that feel likeSee (2019–2022)

A virus has decimated humankind. Those who survived emerged blind. Centuries later when twins are born with the mythic ability to see, their father must protect his tribe against a threatened queen.

If you loved See, the closest series we have are Falling Skies (2011), Into the Badlands (2015) and The Last Ship (2014). All three share See's contemplative and cerebral feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Vikings: Valhalla (2022).

A father fighting to keep his children alive inside a broken world

The difference: Alien invasion resistance, closer to a war show than a folk epic

Falling Skies opens in the chaotic aftermath of an alien attack that has left most of the world completely incapacitated. In the six months since the initial invasion, the few survivors have banded together outside major cities to begin the difficult task of fighting back. Each day is a test of survival as citizen soldiers work to protect the people in their care while also engaging in an insurgency campaign against the occupying alien force.

Feudal fiefdoms and martial-arts duels staged as the main event

The difference: Choreography-first pulp, lighter on world-building and family drama

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.

Centuries past the end, with a whole strange culture grown over the ruins

The difference: Playful and darkly funny where See stays solemn and grave

The story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there's almost nothing left to have. 200 years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind — and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird, and highly violent universe waiting for them.

As aliens hunt and kill those left alive, the survivors ask a burning question – who are these attackers and why are they hell-bent on our destruction?
