for the top 10 post-apocalyptic TV shows
for this list we’re focusing on the best
representations of life and humanity’s
struggle to survive after the world as
we know it comes to an end
Moscow we’re looking at the most brutal
renditions of life after the end while
considering how the lucky or maybe not
so lucky survivors managed to make the
best of their situations you know one
day we’ll find somewhere where we can
make a fresh start
chloral food keep a few animals number
10 dead set would you mean they change
that’s a no that it imagine you’re in
the middle of shooting a season of big
brother when a zombie outbreak hits
something’s happening
some sort of outbreak yes the results
are as terrifying as you’re imagining
with sprinting zombies that’ll turn you
in an instant and gore galore these
characters are left to forage for food
and supplies and ask pertinent questions
about their situation right half but
they’re just as likely to flip the bird
as they are to shoot something in the
face
and while they’re all perfect
contestants for a reality show they’re
not the most likely candidates to
survive a zombie apocalypse shit but
we’re not the only ones not the only
ones number nine
Adventure Time you know what time it is
buddy Adventure Time yeah mind blown a
war leaves Finn as the last human in a
strange land and our imaginations have
been running wild ever since we’re
kidnappers and murderers I just wanted
to have fun and jiggle vampires zombies
talking snacks and plenty of wacky
adventures make this one hell of a ride
heck yeah if I break a royal promise I
get to fight zombies throw slumber
parties awake gumball guardian’s it’s
hilarious for all ages and it’s charming
characters make every moment magical
surprise surprise surprise there’s even
a hidden snail that waves it viewers in
every episode and as silly as he can be
hero Finn continually proves he’s up to
the task at hand no matter how creepy or
disgusting words
this is one post-apocalyptic adventure
not to miss what’t reeved number eight
the colony the volunteers of the colony
have an amazing opportunity to teach all
of us how to survive
after major disaster strikes this
Discovery Channel reality show is
basically an experiment to see how
humans would react and survive after a
huge epidemic wipes out much of humanity
with the situation simulated for the
cameras but they depend on a propane
stove for cooking and to make river
water safe to drink
video diary entries give an in-depth
look and how these colonists feel about
one another and their chances against
the world and the nomads that occupy it
we’re still starving but I’ve got a plan
we found some rat traps we’re gonna go
hungry sure it doesn’t have zombies
killing our carnage but for everyday
survival
there’s no better look at reality once
it all ends
number seven revolution we need more
water fill the sinks and tubs we don’t
have much time
lights out why the lights went out in
the not so distant future when all
electricity suddenly turns off humanity
is tested as our dependence on
technology causes society to crumble in
its absence so what the hell happened
what caused the blackout and with
militias taking over there’s always
someone in need of help what do we know
about him how do we know that he can
help us oh my dad ever said about him
was that he’s good at killing the goal
of restoring power makes this an
intriguing take on the world’s end since
humankind seems to have settled into
their new reality miles is been
Matheson’s brother Rachel Matheson’s
brother-in-law he probably knows
something about the electricity yet
various mysteries continue to push the
Matheson family forward in hopes of
salvation it’s time to go home mr.
president but with so many standing in
the way the journey will prove
devastating indeed

that went out in six months six million
lives lost to a mystery after a virus
referred to as the big death wipes out
the adult population children are left
to survive on their own
tell them what what is coming it’s
coming again cut to 15 years later when
as adults themselves their way of life
completely contrasts with what we know
and live today giving a fresh take on
what people would be like if the
apocalypse were all they’ve known
everybody’s got some big idea then we’ll
rebuild the world buy into that shit
Jeremiah’s hunt for the secret place
known as Valhalla ultimately reveals the
dangers this world has in store do not
approach the hollow second and
Valhalla’s promised to rebuild the world

lurking at this supposed refuge is even
more enticing
you
number five survivors smile this bloody
flip business half the coaches are sick
better watch that cough will you stop
bloody cock ring when a new strain of
influenza wipes out the population
institutions governments and society as
a whole
begin to crumble forcing survivors to
band together to stay safe we don’t know
each other they’ve got nothing in common
we survived isn’t that isn’t that
something with loyalties tested and
cities scavenged for supplies the
promise of a cure keeps hope alive but
at what cost this first generation of
survivors has only one task to provide a
stable future for our children now if
that means sacrificing our comfort even
our freedom that is a price I’m prepared
to pay based on a book that was in turn
based on a classic 70s BBC show this
modern take is harsh at every turn with
characters constantly making tough
decisions our old life is dead now we
have to build a new one and that is just
how we like our apocalypses miss the
virus bad baby we’re about the same as
everywhere I expect number four

something to fight for this isn’t a
fight about land this is a fight for our
very existence and being able to return
home makes their desperate situation a
little more palatable I wanna go home
you’ll be safer in Cheyenne while they
may have their own stories to deal with

professor these survivors are constantly
on the move scavenging for supplies and
weapons and using whatever means
necessary to defeat their mech using
foes
with the alien technology beginning to
affect people’s bodies as well as their
minds it only makes the need to survive
that much stronger
number two Battlestar Galactica after
