Shows that feel likeSilo (2023–)

In a ruined and toxic future, thousands live in a giant silo deep underground. After its sheriff breaks a cardinal rule and residents die mysteriously, engineer Juliette starts to uncover shocking secrets and the truth about the silo.

If you loved Silo, the closest series we have are The Man in the High Castle (2015), Snowpiercer (2020) and 12 Monkeys (2015). All three share Silo'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 For All Mankind (2019).
