Based on Bong Joon-ho‘s acclaimed film of the same name which was based on a French graphic novel, the TNT series Snowpiercer is the perfect blend of sci-fi and social commentary, and it tells the story of what happens after the apocalypse has happened and turned the earth into a frozen wasteland. The series focuses on the survivors who are on a train that is constantly circling the globe. And just like there is a class system on earth, there is also a class system inside the train and the people with no means live in the back of the train in dire conditions but there is a revolt in progress right now.
Snowpiercer has been confirmed for the fourth season but sadly Season 4 of Snowpiercer will also serve as the final season of the series. So, while you wait for Snowpiercer Season 4 here are some shows you could watch.

Draconian measures including capital punishment and population control are the order of the day, as the leaders of the Ark take ruthless steps to ensure their future — including secretly exiling a group of 100 juvenile prisoners to the Earth’s surface to test whether it’s habitable. No one has set foot on the planet in nearly a century — until now. For the 100 on Earth, the alien planet they’ve never known is a mysterious realm that can be magical one moment and lethal the next.
