Most of the things I would guess are already listed so I'm going with go watch the mini-series The Last Ship. I haven't finished it but it's pret ty good. Watching with the whole fam. Highly recommend.
I am generally keen on watching stuff recommended here, but that one does not appeal, on the grounds of the premise that: a 'deadly disease killed off most of the people on earth' which I feel is trying to reinforce that which happened recently, i.e. that it WAS a disease, not a deadly shot that killed millions.
Mind you it is highly rated. But then again, I tried such a highly-rated movie yesterday (The nice guys), and found it severely wanting. Some of the Hollywood chaps do not understand that saying 'dick', repeatedly, and even having a kid say it, is just not actually funny.
I can tell you that you should not take the premise at face value =)
Themes such as devolution, reconstitution, vaccines as poisons, biological warfare, psyops, 5th gen warfare, patriotism, conspiracy theories, naval history, treason, sedition, leadership, cryptography, asymmetrical warfare, linguistics, game theory, rule of law, 2nd amendment, and more, are all messages touched upon in an engaging entertaining way.
And lots of shooty bangy boaty stuff to keep your primitive brain happy as well.
