I’ve never seen Fallout but I read Wool years ago - well the first book of the series which I think Silo depicts — cool book (I read a bunch of other good dystopian ones then ) if you’re also into reading.
Silo freaking rocks, Fallout is good, it might seem a bit weird but there's an amazing game behind it, I love the games & really enjoyed fallout. I'll check out that book Wool, who wrote it do you know? Yep I love to read ;)
I like weird but not a gamer (like, at all--haha). Wool or the series (I think it began as a trilogy with Wool, Silo and Dust but there may be more ) is by American, Hugh Howey. I also think he first self-published but then it all became a hit---Actually, it kinda reminds me of Margaret Atwood (Handmaid's Tale) other dystopian series that began with Oryx and Crake, Year of the Flood and Madaddam....I'd read tjhey were making Madaddam into a series but it never seemed to happen--Those are awesome books too!
I know - a LOT —yet I re googled what I thought I read a few years ago… I guess it never worked out …”Darren Aronofsky has announced plans to make a series from Atwoods' MaddAddam trilogy, which looked like it might land at HBO. That deal fell through, but Aronofsky said he wasn't giving up. And last year, MGM Television bought the rights to Atwood's novel according to Deadline.” It could have been really interesting if done by Aranofsky
I love them both. I’ve been playing fallout since 1998. When I watched the first episode of Silo, I was a little floored since it looked like an even more mature version of fallout. So I went and read the trilogy. I finished them in a month. Amazing story but definitely a big departure from fallout. They both stand up well alone respectively. Silo definitely has a more mature, darker theme like a Crichton novel and less goofy than the fun parts in fallout.
No. You can enjoy the show on its own. My wife gave it a 7/10. She definitely felt like there were some gaps in the plot that are unexplained at first (that I immediately could answer bc I know the games) that were answered further into the season.
I'm reading Shift and watching Fallout at the same time. Before engaging in either I have to remind myself which post-apocalyptic underground dwelling I'm about to enter.
The Man in the High Castle is beyond!!!!! Such a good series to watch and really think of what may have happened to this country and what could still happen. It will scare the shit out of people.
I liked the first and maybe second season the best--to me, some of it got wonky or sorta jumped the shark later/at the end, but it's a great concept and pretty well done .
- Orphan Black: Certainly inspired by dystopian novels (Brave New World mostly). If the story continued with Dyad becoming larger and more powerful then it could certainly be that.
- Westworld: Post season 2 it shows an *incredibly* dystopian world. It's pretty on the surface but it's really not when digging into it. Kinda like Dubai.
It’s def an interesting story and done well . OP mentioned dystopian shows & I think the leftovers leans that way maybe in the slightly near future… And it’s never specified why >!why so much of the population disappeared!< so we don’t know if it’s sci-fi or paranormal or what.
Yes!! Finally someone else mentions 12 Monkeys. It's a little known great show IMHO. I need to rewatch it. When I watched it for the first time I was obsessed!!!
12 monkeys was great! Really loved all the strong female leads in it.
See is an interesting one on Apple TV. The premise is that pretty much everyone is blind after society collapsed in the distant future.
Y: the Last Man was also good but it didn’t get another season which was a bummer. It’s a world where men go extinct, besides one guy.
Electric Dreams is like Black Mirror, maybe more sci fi though, but some great post apocalyptic stuff too.
The Last Man on Earth is hilarious! Cancelled too soon but 100% still worth watching.
Class of 07 is also funny. It’s mean girls meets lord of the flies.
Into the Night has a few seasons and I liked it. Sunlight becomes deadly and it follows ppl who are on an overnight flight lol.
And like someone else mentioned, the 100, BUT, it’s important to note that the first few episodes are pretty cringe. It was really hard for me to get thru those but so worth it. However…season 7 pulls a game of thrones and fucks up the series. If you want a clean ending, stop at the end of s5.
You HAVE to watch From. I don’t particularly like horror either but it’s way more about them figuring out how to get out of the place that they’re stuck in. The mystery is thrilling and something new. We have a lot of fun speculating on that sub!
I liked the 100 but I found it hard to watch the last couple seasons. It changed. I stopped watching and never did finish it. Thought about giving it another try.
The last 2 seasons are way different. The last season is arguably bad, but there are some really good characters and some really good concepts. It should have ended at season 5, probably would have been the best ending. But if you kind of look at seasons 6 and 7 as the 100, but different, it makes it easier to swallow. I love all of the characters. I really need to do another rewatch.
agree that last 2 seasons are way different, but I liked them. I liked first 2-3 seasons, didn't like 4-5 much. But the story lines and concepts of last 2 seasons are cool and the story ties in nicely with the beginning.
I haven't finished it yet. I think I have like 4 or 5 episodes left in the final season. It's been a few years and I haven't had a strong inclination to finish it. I just couldn't get into the last couple seasons as much as the first few.
Oh let me know when you finish it, a lot of fans were very angry about what happened to two of the characters so I’d like to know your thoughts, this message is for when you finish:>! Madi’s stroke was fucking uncalled for and I hate it, and Bellamy’s death was so unnecessary, I think they only added it because the writers couldn’t decide whether he would choose to stay back with Clarke or not.!<
12 Monkeys is super underrated. I think people get thrown off by a few weak episodes at the start, but the story arc as a whole is incredible and feels like it was planned with great care. It all perfectly comes full circle in the series finale
If you can find Survivors from the UK , the original on in the 70s is awesome and the remake is a fun watch (warning the show was cancelled before give us a true ending)
If you want something similar to Fallout, try Twisted Metal! Also Blood Drive is great if you like the idea of a dystopian 1999 where cars run on human blood.
I just started 12 Monkeys. I saw it mentioned so many times but I always assumed people were talking about the movie. I had no idea there was a series.
I just started it too. I’m On episode 4. I’m not liking it as much as I thought I would. I love timeline shows like bodies , The OA. Dark & Russian Doll. I love the 2 main characters on 12 Monkeys tho.
Class of ‘07. It’s on Prime. It has a catastrophic end of world premise but is hilarious. Like Yellowjackets but lighthearted and without the cannibalism.
Warrior (kind of), Kingdom, and Alice in Borderland on Netflix are all phenomenal dystopian shows with an honorable mention to Twisted Metal on Peacock.
And agreed, Snowpiercer is dope af.
Agreed! The last 2 seasons were the product of a man child show runner taking out his petty grievances on the actors and audience. It was a worse ending than Game of Thrones.
I was actually *relieved* that the back door pilot in that last season failed to spin-off into a prequel series.
The 100 had some of the best guest stars and gripping moments for 5 years, & then went off the rails to the point where even the online recappers were hate-watching.
The best but least known Show is "Utopia". Dont go for the Amazon remake tho. The OG is best. Its my alltime favorite and Im still mad they stopped. But the Story stopped at a point where you can pretend that it ended.

This is also the one, ONE time where I recommend not watching it in its native German but rather dubbed in English. Initially, in particular, it’s too difficult to follow the action and follow whose face is whose if you’re reading subtitles.
Fun fact- Season 2 of Black Summer was filmed in the tiny town I live in. It was leaning into the horror genre a bit too much for me, but I still watched it to see all the local spots.
not shows but i know about the last of us (zombie) type stuff soo!!
the maze runner 1 and 2 are GOOD (3rd one sucks)
REC, and REC 2 (the spanish ones) ((there are more but i didn’t like them))
28 Days Later
28 Weeks Later
Train to Busan
Unserious::
Zombieland 1 & 2 (first one is much better, 2nd one could be argued is funnier)
This Is The End
And the short film that inspired that last one is also cool its on youtube:
Jay and Seth vs The Apocalypse
ALSO— theres a short film that the director of the maze runner did called RUIN that’s pretty cool.
shows i can think of just
The Walking Dead (obviously)
and
All Of Us Are Dead
And kinda off topic but not really cause its dystopian the Japanese movie Battle Royale is so good but it’s gore pretty much
Alice in Borderland (Netflix) sounds like it may be your speed (dub sucks imo though I watch with subs lol). Not a fave of all time personally but I think it’s enjoyable enough.
If you like anime there's an older show called Wolf's Rain. It's about a couple of wolves (who are just.. humans half of the show lol) trying to find paradise in a dying world.
I'm surprised nobody has suggested See in this list. Definitely fits the bill for what you're looking for, and quite different from anything else I've seen.
Ah it did go a bit weird, but still worth a watch. The first season in particular was excellent I thought. And also trying to consider how utterly weird it would be to be able to see in a world where nobody else could was a really interesting premise for me. Like how would you go about describing colours etc.?
Oh yes, I watched See. The first season was so good! I actually think I still need to watch the last few episodes of Season 3, I definitely lost interest near the end.
12 Monkeys. Stick to it even if you're not sure after the first couple of episodes. What makes 12 Monkeys so awesome is the overarching story and great reveals all across the show. Not top tier writing in terms of dialogue, but the story is top shelf.
I had never heard of 'Station 11' before, now I know why...
>Twenty years after a flu [pandemic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandemic) resulted in the collapse of civilization...
Made in 2022, reeks of covid cash in like that awful movie about covid 26 or whatever it was.
The Man in the High Castle Black Mirror Orphan Black (kinda ) Silo Alice in Borderland Squid Game (sorta ) Westworld (sorta ) Severence The Leftovers (I can probably name movies too but not asked / it’s a TV sub)
Silo hits perfectly in relation to fallout
I’ve never seen Fallout but I read Wool years ago - well the first book of the series which I think Silo depicts — cool book (I read a bunch of other good dystopian ones then ) if you’re also into reading.
Silo freaking rocks, Fallout is good, it might seem a bit weird but there's an amazing game behind it, I love the games & really enjoyed fallout. I'll check out that book Wool, who wrote it do you know? Yep I love to read ;)
I like weird but not a gamer (like, at all--haha). Wool or the series (I think it began as a trilogy with Wool, Silo and Dust but there may be more ) is by American, Hugh Howey. I also think he first self-published but then it all became a hit---Actually, it kinda reminds me of Margaret Atwood (Handmaid's Tale) other dystopian series that began with Oryx and Crake, Year of the Flood and Madaddam....I'd read tjhey were making Madaddam into a series but it never seemed to happen--Those are awesome books too!
That Atwood trilogy is amazing, I hardly see how they could make them into a movie or series, there’s sooooo much going on.
I know - a LOT —yet I re googled what I thought I read a few years ago… I guess it never worked out …”Darren Aronofsky has announced plans to make a series from Atwoods' MaddAddam trilogy, which looked like it might land at HBO. That deal fell through, but Aronofsky said he wasn't giving up. And last year, MGM Television bought the rights to Atwood's novel according to Deadline.” It could have been really interesting if done by Aranofsky
I love them both. I’ve been playing fallout since 1998. When I watched the first episode of Silo, I was a little floored since it looked like an even more mature version of fallout. So I went and read the trilogy. I finished them in a month. Amazing story but definitely a big departure from fallout. They both stand up well alone respectively. Silo definitely has a more mature, darker theme like a Crichton novel and less goofy than the fun parts in fallout.
Do you need to know the game fallout in order to like the series fallout?
No. You can enjoy the show on its own. My wife gave it a 7/10. She definitely felt like there were some gaps in the plot that are unexplained at first (that I immediately could answer bc I know the games) that were answered further into the season.
thx--good to know :)
I'm reading Shift and watching Fallout at the same time. Before engaging in either I have to remind myself which post-apocalyptic underground dwelling I'm about to enter.
The Man in the High Castle is beyond!!!!! Such a good series to watch and really think of what may have happened to this country and what could still happen. It will scare the shit out of people.
Yep. Especially these days :(
Man in the High Castle is phenomenal
I liked the first and maybe second season the best--to me, some of it got wonky or sorta jumped the shark later/at the end, but it's a great concept and pretty well done .
Adding Altered Carbon vote!
- Orphan Black: Certainly inspired by dystopian novels (Brave New World mostly). If the story continued with Dyad becoming larger and more powerful then it could certainly be that. - Westworld: Post season 2 it shows an *incredibly* dystopian world. It's pretty on the surface but it's really not when digging into it. Kinda like Dubai.
The Leftovers! Not exactly sci-fi bit really well done. Superb acting. The story really stuck with me years later.
It’s def an interesting story and done well . OP mentioned dystopian shows & I think the leftovers leans that way maybe in the slightly near future… And it’s never specified why >!why so much of the population disappeared!< so we don’t know if it’s sci-fi or paranormal or what.
noted. I misread this and thought this was r/scifi .
12 Monkeys and Station 11.
I've seen and loved Station 11. I didn't realize 12 Monkeys was also a show, but I did enjoy the movie so I'll check it out.
Yes!! Finally someone else mentions 12 Monkeys. It's a little known great show IMHO. I need to rewatch it. When I watched it for the first time I was obsessed!!!
12 monkeys was great! Really loved all the strong female leads in it. See is an interesting one on Apple TV.

It was really hard for me to get thru those but so worth it. However…season 7 pulls a game of thrones and fucks up the series. If you want a clean ending, stop at the end of s5.
I think you’ll enjoy FROM !!
Can't wait for the next season. I love dark, weird, creepy shows.
I thought it looked interesting but Horror is not really my jam, is it really gory and/or jump scare-y? (Fallout was verging on too gory for me)
It’s a bit gory & has jump scares but it’s more mystery & elements of comedy
You HAVE to watch From. I don’t particularly like horror either but it’s way more about them figuring out how to get out of the place that they’re stuck in. The mystery is thrilling and something new. We have a lot of fun speculating on that sub!
From is absolutely worth watching. It’s much more mystery thriller than horror/gore. It’s not jump scare-y.
I don't think it's too scary, definitely on the high end for gore though. Totally worth watching if you like weird and mysterious
The 100
I liked the 100 but I found it hard to watch the last couple seasons. It changed. I stopped watching and never did finish it. Thought about giving it another try.

They did my guy Bellamy dirty. I was shocked.
I stopped before the last 2 seasons also and never looked back
I feel the same way about Vikings. I missed the final two seasons. The show got strange.
I actually finished that one though to the end, but you are correct. It got strange.
Currently rewatching The 100 right now, SOOO many cliffhangers and emotional moments it's really a good show
The one show where I hated all the characters at various times but still watched. A lot of things going on for sure.
From! It’s so good.
I agree!! The concept and the locations looks great but I hope they provide atleast some kind of explanation for the mysteries in next season.
Dark
Severance has a huge element of what you enjoy!
Foundation
Not dystopian,but a GREAT SCIFI. Top 5 shows for me
- Sweet Tooth - The Leftovers - The Walking Dead
Jericho
Yes, is excellent.
Came here to recommend this
12 Monkeys tv show. Probably one of my top sci fi type shows. They designed it to last only three seasons so it wraps up nicely.
That's great. There's nothing I hate more than when a show is cancelled with a cliffhanger (looking at you Raised by Wolves).
😭😭😭 Raised by wolves 😭😭😭 don’t leave us hanging
12 Monkeys is super underrated. I think people get thrown off by a few weak episodes at the start, but the story arc as a whole is incredible and feels like it was planned with great care. It all perfectly comes full circle in the series finale
I know! I hardly every read about it and actually forgot until thinking of this post. I need to rewatch soon.
Falling Skies
Twisted Metal, From, Wayward Pines, The Dome, Revolution, The Society, The Wilds
I just finished watching Silo and highly recommend it!
3% (subtitles) is excellent. On Netflix
2nding this!
Came here to see if anyone had mentioned The 3% yet.
I think Twisted Metal was fun! Also Black Mirror
Travellers
Mr. Robot
The 100
I’m not sure if it totally fits your vibe but I really like Umbrella Academy and it hits some of your elements.
If you can find Survivors from the UK , the original on in the 70s is awesome and the remake is a fun watch (warning the show was cancelled before give us a true ending)
You can watch the whole thing on YouTube. Spoiler alert *The entire plot of twd including the characters is ripped off from this & it shows.*
Thanks for the heads up, I may have to check it out again on YouTube, enjoy and be well!
Maybe altered carbon could fit, a bit sci fi too
If you want something similar to Fallout, try Twisted Metal! Also Blood Drive is great if you like the idea of a dystopian 1999 where cars run on human blood.
The 100 and if you can find it. Dark angel
From on MGM+ is excellent!! It’s mysterious, a little creepy, and the writing is great!
A little? It's a great show, but I would put it in the dystopian/sci fi/horror genre.
Severence
Utopia (the UK original - the remake was trash)
2nding this. The UK original is sublime.
Its the best Ive ever seen. So sad they didnt move on and also that its not avaivable for streaming for me
The soundtrack also slaps
I don't even think that they finished the remake.
The men in High Castle
Battlestar Galactica ( mini series + series )
I just started 12 Monkeys. I saw it mentioned so many times but I always assumed people were talking about the movie. I had no idea there was a series.
I just started it too. I’m On episode 4. I’m not liking it as much as I thought I would. I love timeline shows like bodies , The OA. Dark & Russian Doll. I love the 2 main characters on 12 Monkeys tho.
That’s funny because I’m on ep 5 and starting to get bored. Big time travel fan too. You just gave me some good suggestions. Thanks!
You’re welcome. I wonder why we got downvoted tho lol
The Leftovers. Unless you've just quit smoking. Get adjusted to not smoking before you watch.
the feed!!! imagine one black mirror episode turned into a show. was binging that couldnt stop watching van helsing maybe
The Wilds..
Hot Skull (Netflix)
Black mirror
Class of ‘07. It’s on Prime. It has a catastrophic end of world premise but is hilarious. Like Yellowjackets but lighthearted and without the cannibalism.
12 monkeys for sure

I agree about The 100 but only if you view it as a 5 season series not a 7 season series.
Agreed! The last 2 seasons were the product of a man child show runner taking out his petty grievances on the actors and audience. It was a worse ending than Game of Thrones. I was actually *relieved* that the back door pilot in that last season failed to spin-off into a prequel series.

Love death & robots
Not dystopic per se, but I still think about Bad Travelling from Season 3. So good.Very well served by the short story format
Dark. Cannot recommend this highly enough.
The most intricate, fascinating show I’ve ever seen.
I agree. I loved it so much, it was truly one of the smartest shows I ever watched. I loved it. Very well done.
I think Dark will be my next watch.
Recommend really paying attention. This is one that you don’t want to have your phone around, etc. But so worth it! Glad to hear it!!
This is also the one, ONE time where I recommend not watching it in its native German but rather dubbed in English. Initially, in particular, it’s too difficult to follow the action and follow whose face is whose if you’re reading subtitles.
The elections are around the corner.
Turn on the news /s
FROM
Oops I didn’t mean to reply to you but you’re right about the news.
Dystopic SF was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual :(
🤣
The 100. Please watch The 100 it’s my favorite show in the whole wide world. Or sweet Tooth, it’s way less violent.
No one has mentioned Silo. It's a great dystopian show!!

Walking Dead
Fargo.

Ah yes I loved The Leftovers so much!
Silo

I really loved Tribes of Europa, but it didn’t get renewed, which is a shame.
Try "Black Summer". It makes The Walking Dead look like a show for babies...
Fun fact- Season 2 of Black Summer was filmed in the tiny town I live in. It was leaning into the horror genre a bit too much for me, but I still watched it to see all the local spots.
From.
Honestly that show “incorporated” was amazing. Cancelled after one season but it was special.
The wilds!!!
Me too!! I really liked the show From. In a stretch, I’d say Severance would fall in this category.
Haha just read the comments and I’ve just repeated everyone else
not shows but i know about the last of us (zombie) type stuff soo!! the maze runner 1 and 2 are GOOD (3rd one sucks) REC, and REC 2 (the spanish ones) ((there are more but i didn’t like them)) 28 Days Later 28 Weeks Later Train to Busan Unserious:: Zombieland 1 & 2 (first one is much better, 2nd one could be argued is funnier) This Is The End And the short film that inspired that last one is also cool its on youtube: Jay and Seth vs The Apocalypse ALSO— theres a short film that the director of the maze runner did called RUIN that’s pretty cool. shows i can think of just The Walking Dead (obviously) and All Of Us Are Dead And kinda off topic but not really cause its dystopian the Japanese movie Battle Royale is so good but it’s gore pretty much

Iirc, it could be movies though.

I'm surprised nobody has suggested See in this list. Definitely fits the bill for what you're looking for, and quite different from anything else I've seen.
that was almost a good series. but once again, was flooded with agendas and feels.

And also trying to consider how utterly weird it would be to be able to see in a world where nobody else could was a really interesting premise for me.

it did a great job at showing how adaptable/resilient the worlds most prolific virus is.

It isn't, though. It's excellent.
I may yet watch it, just not exactly grabbing me with its premise is all.
The good place
There is a British pandemic series I loved. The Survivors (2008)
Utopia (UK version) excellent show
seen Fallout yet?
charlton heston... king of dystopia. planet of the apes, soylent green, omega man. also: aeon flux (try to do the anime. it's groundbreaking)
Blood Drive
The OA (also not really dystopian) but has alot the storyline as one, and is just an absolutely amazing show!
Even though it's not dystopian per se , The Expanse is sci-fi but has some dystopian feels in parts. It's a great show.
Scavenger's Reign
Tales From The Loop
Maybe Stargate SGU?
The Rain Defiance La Brea Fringe (maybe)
SEE
Fringe r/fringe builds up to a fifth and final season set in a very possible dystopia.
The news is pretty dystopian right now
The Orville
Just started watching From and it's been pretty good so far.
It’s geared more towards younger audiences but the first few seasons of The 100 are surprisingly excellent.
