Shows that feel likeSweet Tooth (2021–2024)

On an epic adventure across a postapocalyptic world, a lovable boy who's part human and part deer searches for family and home with a gruff protector.

If you loved Sweet Tooth, the closest series we have are The Last Ship (2014), 12 Monkeys (2015) and Raised by Wolves (2020). All three share Sweet Tooth'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 Into the Badlands (2015).
