Shows that feel likeThe Society (2019)
If you loved The Society, the closest series we have are Wayward Pines (2015), The Leftovers (2014) and Normal People (2020). All three share The Society's contemplative feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Lanterns (2026).
If The Society hit the spot, these will too

Two things both keep coming back to: small town life and trapped
The difference: Easier on the comfort than The Society

Both land stillness and ideas at once

Both are built on the same subject: small town life
The difference: Takes it somewhere less cerebral than The Society does

The same preoccupation in both: teenager

Drama built on dream logic, twice over
The difference: Sits closer to mystery than The Society does

Both lean on comfort more than on sci-fi & fantasy

Common ground in both: survival and dark

One thread runs through both: survival

Both keep coming back to the same thing: trapped

Contemplative drama, and it commits to that

Sci-fi & fantasy with a pulse of ideas, in both cases

Dreamlike drama in both cases
