Dystopia but not horror... Film, TV or books

[Bluewavescrashing]

I like The Handmaid's Tale, Brave New World on Sky, Hunger Games, Black Mirror. No zombies please! Any other suggestions?

Already posted but I second High Rise the Book and Station Eleven.

High Rise the film is ok if only to see Tom Hiddleston very lovely buttocks 😊

Second Utopia (All4) and Snowpiercer film

Have you read the Testaments (follow up to the handmaids tale)? It’s one of the best books I’ve ever read.

Maybe The End of the F* * g World on Netflix?

I bought The Testaments but then left in a hotel room last year after reading the first chapter! Need to get another copy.

Children of men. Book much better then yeh film

Ooh I loved the End of the fucking world, Stranger Things and I am not OK with This.

Year of the flood - Margaret Atwood and Oryx and Crake.

Threads. BBC film from the 80s. Pleasingly grim.

3% on Netflix. Brazilian with subtitles or dubbed. I think there are 2 seasons.

Those suggesting Snowpiercer I watched the film and thought it was dire even though I liked the premise. Is it worth starting the series?

The Snowpiercer series is excellent.

Daybreak on Netflix is also brilliant.

The TV series is much better than the film
They can really expand on the story in a way they couldn't in the film because of time limits and they've altered bits, added/removed characters, and changed the timeline a bit.

The Platform on Netflix.

And agree with @missnevermind on 3%, there are 4 series now that I need to catch up on!

I enjoyed the snowpiercer film but couldn’t get past the first two episodes of the series. Tilda Swinton is amazing in the film.

Years & Years

As a PP mentioned, Threads!
Scariest thing I’ve ever seen.

The Platform film is excellent.

I second 3% on Netflix - really enjoyed it.

To The Lake series on Netflix. Russian with subtitles and amazing.

If you like Nineteen Eighty Four and Brave New World, get hold of We by Yevgeny Zamyatin. One of the first of its kind.

Books - The Wool trilogy by Hugh Howey, and The Children of Time by someone I've forgotten

@Bagelsandbrie

The Platform film is excellent.

I thought it was good but strange.

I didn’t really understand it tbh

I've been watching Netflix
The Barrier
To the Lake
Sense8
Occupied
Snowpiercer.

Lots of good suggestions already mentioned so only ones I can think of that have’s been are Minority Report (film based on a Philip K Dick story) and Humans, TV series that was on channel 4 a few years ago, it’s not exactly in Handmaid Tale or Philip L Dick’s league but ok for a watch if you like the genre.

That haven’t been mentioned
