Returning to Earth quickly raises the question of how the teenagers in The 100 should organise a community. Lost combines similar leadership disputes with an island mystery. Fear the Walking Dead shows the old order falling apart, while Under the Dome cuts an already established town off from outside help.

Reviewed recommendations are ordered by their editorial fit. Weak matches are omitted. Other suggestions come from community recommendations and rating similarity. Editors may also add individual recommendations.
