7. “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon”

When Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) rode off on his motorcycle at the end of “The Walking Dead,” who knew he’d end up in Paris? That’s the premise of his own self-titled show and it’s a fascinating spin on the beloved zombie world. You’ll get to see him experience some much-needed inner healing while Carol (Melissa McBride) goes looking for him. Good thing too, because Daryl ends up making enemies with a dictator who will stop at nothing to retain power.

8. “Fallout”

“Fallout” has been a beloved video game series for nearly 30 years but only recently got its own show. The dystopian thriller doesn’t have zombies. Instead, everyone’s living in a nuclear apocalypse where underground bunkers aren’t as safe as the survivors think. Lucy (Ella Purnell) must leave her fallout shelter to find her dad. In the process, she has to make a series of hard choices while surviving alongside Ghoul (Walton Goggins) and Maximus (Aaron Moten). Nothing’s as it seems in this show — even if you’ve played every Fallout video game.

9. “The Boys”

If you tuned into “The Walking Dead” to watch Jeffrey Dean Morgan work his magic as Negan, you might want to binge “The Boys.” The thriller presents an unexplored question — what if superheroes had powers that felt more like curses and most of the world’s heroes were the absolute worst people to ever exist? It’s a darkly hilarious, heart-stopping watch that unpacks what abuse of power means.

10. “Z Nation”

When you’re in the mood for a zombie show that’s got a lighter vibe, turn on “Z Nation.” The show doesn’t take itself too seriously but follows Murphy (Keith Allan) across America as he tries to reach the California-based lab where only he can create a vaccine to stop the zombie virus. There may or may not be nukes involved too.
