Looking for genuinely elite TV shows with great group dynamics
I’m looking for a show that completely immerses you in a group of characters.
A good reference point for what I mean is the early seasons of The Walking Dead. I loved when the group felt like a genuine little community, everyone had their own personality, relationships and role, people disagreed about what to do, there were difficult moral dilemmas, loyalties were tested, people went out on runs and came back, arguments happened, people looked after each other, etc.
That feeling of “I’m part of this group and I know these people” is what I’m chasing.
I want:
Exceptional acting
Really deep, layered characters
Incredible writing and character development
Strong chemistry and believable relationships
A group that genuinely feels like a family/community/team
A central location/base/home/community that you become familiar with
Lots of interaction between the characters, not just individual storylines
Real dilemmas, disagreements, loyalty and consequences
A world that feels lived-in and immersive
Ideally some danger/adventure/survival, but it doesn't have to be an apocalypse
Humour is fine when it comes naturally from the characters
Basically, I want to become weirdly attached to the entire group and feel like I’m living alongside them.
