Shows that feel likeThe Walking Dead: Dead City (2023–)

Maggie and Negan travel to post-apocalyptic Manhattan - long ago cut off from the mainland. The crumbling city is filled with the dead and denizens who have made it a world full of anarchy, danger, beauty, and terror.

If you loved The Walking Dead: Dead City, the closest series we have are The Last Ship (2014), Falling Skies (2011) and Into the Badlands (2015). All three share The Walking Dead: Dead City'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 Sweet Home (2020).

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

In a post-apocalyptic world dominated by the so-called "Numbers," each human will have their identity branded with their own "Count," which could define any number related to their life. May it be one's walked distance or amount of compliments given to them by others, this Count could lead them to the abyss when it has dropped to zero. In the year 305 of the Alcian calendar, Hina has inherited a mission from her Mother, whose Count has depreciated to zero, to search for the Legendary Red Baron. In her adventure, she meets a half-masked swordsman named Licht who tries to hide his identity, as he is known as a degenerate for having an incredibly low Count.
