Station Eleven (2021)
7.5/10on IMDb
First aired
A travelling theatre group keeps making art after a pandemic, treating memory and shared stories as needs rather than luxuries. The fractured timeline gradually reveals the practical acts of care behind survival. Its opening is distressing, but the larger question is how people can live meaningfully after immediate safety has been secured.

Jericho (2006)
7.9/10on IMDb
First aired
A Kansas town faces the aftermath of nuclear attacks through shortages, local responsibilities and uncertainty about who is still in charge. The community setting makes planning and trust concrete. The later conspiracy plotting grows broader, and the shortened run leaves more to explore, but the town's practical response remains the appeal.

Into the Night (2020)
7.0/10on IMDb

Yakamoz S-245 (2022)
6.2/10on IMDb
First aired
Civilians and a military crew share a submarine after the same daylight catastrophe seen in Into the Night. Competing responsibilities make the vessel more than a refuge.

The Rain (2018)
6.3/10on IMDb
First aired
Siblings leave a shelter after a rain-borne disaster and discover that joining others requires more than agreeing on a destination.

To the Lake (2019)
7.2/10on IMDb
First aired
A pandemic turns an escape from Moscow into a forced partnership between people carrying incompatible domestic histories. Transport and supplies matter because old grievances do not disappear when ordinary systems do. The Russian series is grim and violent, with trust under continuing pressure rather than a reassuring catalogue of good survival decisions.

Snowpiercer (2020)
6.9/10on IMDb
First aired
A moving train keeps humanity alive through an arrangement built on extreme inequality. Food production, maintenance and the allocation of space make every political change a logistical one. The violent power struggles can become repetitive, but the infrastructure ensures that replacing a leader never by itself settles the question of how to live together.

The Walking Dead (2010)
8.1/10on IMDb
First aired
The long run repeatedly shifts from finding shelter to deciding what a lasting settlement should permit or protect. Farming, medical care and leadership can be more revealing than a zombie attack. It also spends substantial time on sadistic enemies and graphic violence, so choose particular community-building stretches with that limitation in mind.

The 100 (2014)
7.5/10on IMDb
First aired
Young people sent down from a failing space habitat have to establish rules before they understand the world around them. Resources and the right to decide for others keep returning as problems. The plotting is often extreme and later conflicts become very violent, making it a contentious study of survival ethics rather than practical instruction.

See (2019)
7.6/10on IMDb
First aired
Centuries after a pandemic, a society without sight has developed its own skills, customs and structures of authority. The arrival of sighted children unsettles that arrangement. Combat is graphic and increasingly prominent, but the more interesting questions concern which abilities a community values and who gets to define a threat.

Anna (2021)
7.0/10on IMDb
First aired
A girl searches for her brother in Sicily after a contagion kills adults, leaving children to assemble new rules from fragments of the old world. The images are striking and the treatment of childhood deeply disturbing. Choose it for a bleak account of inherited habits and improvised authority, not a gentle young-survivor adventure.

The Last Man on Earth (2015)
7.4/10on IMDb
First aired
The comic premise exposes a surprisingly difficult survival problem: other people still have to put up with you. Phil's selfishness can be exasperating, but the group gradually has to negotiate care, intimacy and ordinary responsibility. Cancellation leaves the larger story open, while the everyday social work supplies a different kind of apocalypse viewing.
