Shows that feel likeVisionQuest (2026–)

With a bounty on his head, Vision must confront his nature and resist Ultron's influence to survive.

If you loved VisionQuest, the closest series we have are 12 Monkeys (2015), Marvel's Agent Carter (2015) and Dark Matter (2015). All three share VisionQuest'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 Carrie (2026).
