But if Max If you don't have it and don't want to pay for it, don't despair. Netflix offers a solid selection of shows that approach The Last of Us in terms of theme and atmosphere - whether it's the undead, the fight for survival, or the tension at every turn. Here are five of the best alternatives that are worth your attention.
1. All of Us Are Dead
The South Korean series follows a group of students trapped in a school during an unexpected zombie apocalypse. The fast-paced situations, tension, and questions of morality create a strong parallel to The Last of Us. There are plenty of brutal scenes and touching moments between the main characters. And even though the heroes are teenagers, the story is definitely not for the faint of heart.
2. Kingdom of Zombies (Kingdom)
Strange rumors spread throughout the kingdom about a sick king, and the crown prince becomes the people's only hope in the fight against a mysterious disease that is slowly sweeping the country. A very well-rated series.
3. Zom100: What do you want to do before a zombie takes you down?
A lighthearted take on the apocalypse comes from Japan and offers a slightly different experience. Instead of panicking, the main character writes a list of things he wants to do before the zombies get him. The film combines action, humor, and surprisingly strong human moments. For fans of The Last of Us, this may be a nice change of pace.
4. #ILive
This South Korean thriller follows a young man trapped in an apartment during a zombie outbreak, struggling to survive as the world collapses around him. The more intimate take on the apocalypse, with its emphasis on isolation and the characters' psyches, feels disturbingly realistic. A great choice for those who appreciate a more personal survival story.
5. Zombie Kingdom: Ashin of the North
This special film complements the main Kingdom series and focuses on the origins of a mysterious plague. A gritty, emotionally powerful and gripping story that provides a deeper look into a world infested with the undead. Perfect for viewers who are already familiar with Kingdom (our favorite series), or those who want to start right from the beginning of the devastation.
Well, five series are ok, but all of them are produced by Sikmookych. And you can't watch them. Sorry.
