Long before Fringe started emotionally body-slamming viewers with alternate universes and Walter Bishop (John Noble) spiraling around laboratories like a sleep-deprived mad scientist held together by custard and trauma, Shaun of the Dead already understood the real trick to great genre storytelling. The weird stuff only lands once the normal stuff feels painfully believable at first. Fringe hid this massive science-fiction apocalypse inside stories about lonely people trying not to lose each other. Shaun does basically the same thing, just with zombies, pub carpets, and aggressively British emotional avoidance.
