- CreatorJoss WhedonStarsNathan FillionGina TorresAlan TudykFive hundred years in the future, a renegade crew aboard a small spacecraft tries to survive as they travel the unknown parts of the galaxy and evade warring factions as well as authority agents out to get them.Cowboys in Space
- DirectorJoss WhedonStarsNathan FillionGina TorresChiwetel EjioforThe crew of the ship Serenity try to evade an assassin sent to recapture telepath River.Firefly season 2
- CreatorsDaniel AbrahamMark FergusTy FranckStarsSteven StraitDominique TipperWes ChathamThe disappearance of rich-girl-turned-political-activist links the lives of Ceres detective, accidental ship captain and U.N. politician. Amidst political tension between Earth, Mars and the Belt, they unravel the greatest conspiracy.Gritty and Realistic. Better than the books.
- CreatorDan EricksonStarsAdam ScottBritt LowerZach CherryMark leads a team of office workers whose memories have been surgically divided between their work and personal lives. When a mysterious colleague appears outside of work, it begins a journey to discover the truth about their jobs.
- CreatorsMatt DufferRoss DufferStarsMillie Bobby BrownFinn WolfhardWinona RyderIn 1980s Indiana, a group of young friends witness supernatural forces and secret government exploits. As they search for answers, the children unravel a series of extraordinary mysteries.Lovable characters. Particularly Eleven. Some people didn't like an entire episode with El by herself, however I thought it was an important growth arc. Originally, I think she was supposed to be the Gandalf, but by season 2 she is definitely the hero (although there is still a lot of Gandalf in her), which I guess makes Mike the heroine.
Even though it has a ensemble cast, Season 1 the focus was more on Mike and Nancy but Season 2 it was more about Eleven and Dustin. Season 3 Steve and Joyce maybe? - CreatorMichael WaldronStarsTom HiddlestonOwen WilsonSophia Di MartinoThe mercurial villain Loki resumes his role as the God of Mischief in a new series that takes place after the events of “Avengers: Endgame.”
- CreatorsSteve BlackmanJeremy SlaterStarsElliot PageTom HopperDavid CastañedaA family of former child heroes, now grown apart, must reunite to continue to protect the world.
Likeable and well developed characters. Good plot. - CreatorLaeta KalogridisStarsChris ConnerRenée Elise GoldsberryDichen LachmanSet in a future where consciousness is digitized and stored, a prisoner returns to life in a new body and must solve a mind-bending murder to win his freedom.Terrific detective story. Gritty but believable far future dystopia. High personal stakes with the hero caught in a very personal dilemma. The series shows why Poe is such a popular Expy. Poe replaced Jimmy Hendrix in the book. It was a good choice.
- CreatorJon FavreauStarsPedro PascalChris BartlettKatee SackhoffThe travels of a lone bounty hunter in the outer reaches of the galaxy, far from the authority of the New Republic.
- CreatorJosh FriedmanStarsLena HeadeyThomas DekkerSummer GlauSet after the events in Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), Sarah Connor and her son, John, try to stay under-the-radar from the government, as they plot to destroy the computer network Skynet in hopes of preventing Armageddon.Underrated. Terminator Genisys has a few shoutouts to this series incorporating some of it's story elements.
- CreatorSydney NewmanStarsJodie WhittakerPeter CapaldiPearl MackieThe further adventures in time and space of the alien adventurer known as the Doctor and his companions from planet Earth.Well loved classic
- CreatorMax LandisStarsSamuel BarnettElijah WoodHannah MarksHolistic detective Dirk Gently investigates cases involving the supernatural.Every different from the 2010 TV series and from the books. Previous incarnations of Dirk Gently have been middle aged con men whose unconscious psychic abilities make their endeavours less of a con than they intended. Whereas this version is young, earnest and naive.
- CreatorGraham YostStarsRebecca FergusonCommonTim RobbinsMen and women live in a giant silo underground with several regulations which they believe are in place to protect them from the toxic and ruined world on the surface.
- StarsNeil Patrick HarrisNathan FillionFelicia DayAn aspiring supervillain must balance his career and his pursuit of a beautiful do-gooder.Musical Fun
- CreatorTim MillerStarsFred TatascioreScott WhyteEmily O'BrienA collection of animated short stories that span various genres including science fiction, fantasy, horror and comedy.
- CreatorTony GilroyStarsDiego LunaDenise GoughStellan SkarsgårdIn an era filled with danger, deception, and intrigue, Cassian Andor embarks on a path that is destined to turn him into a Rebel hero.
- CreatorsRob GrantDoug NaylorStarsChris BarrieCraig CharlesDanny John-JulesThe adventures of the last human alive and his friends, stranded three million years into deep space on the mining ship Red Dwarf.The earlier shows were the best
- CreatorsDan HarmonJustin RoilandStarsSarah ChalkeChris ParnellSpencer GrammerThe fractured domestic lives of a nihilistic mad scientist and his anxious grandson are further complicated by their inter-dimensional misadventures.
- CreatorSteve LightfootStarsJon BernthalAmber Rose RevahBen BarnesAfter his revenge on those who murdered his family, aimless Marine veteran Frank Castle finds a new meaning in life as a vigilante known as "The Punisher".Spin off of Daredevil. How many people were involved in his wife death? He kills more than 37 people at the start of the series thinks he is done then finds a whole new batch that was involved? I will have to go back and watch his introduction in daredevil season 2 and see how the new narrative matches up to the old narrative. Season 2 is good, they didn't take the easy and obvious direction that we have seen to many times before and this version of Frank is very likeable, down to earth and self aware. In the comics I have read he was an unyielding force of rage. I like Bernthal's shy gentle killing machine version better. I stopped reading the comic book version when he shot a friend and ally in the head for compromising himself.
- CreatorMelissa RosenbergStarsKrysten RitterRachael TaylorEka DarvilleFollowing the tragic end of her brief superhero career, Jessica Jones tries to rebuild her life as a private investigator, dealing with cases involving people with remarkable abilities in New York City.I liked how Jessica's powers are underplayed. She rips a car door off or crushes padlock like its nothing special, like its a cheap party trick, no big deal. Jessica's detective skills are what she really relies on, her powers make things more convenient thats all. It does give her a more male/macho attitude of never having to worry about walking into a dark alley. Jessica's fearlessness is as much due to her "life sucks" noir attitude as her powers though. And a big part of Killgrave's threat is that he represents something worse than mere death.
- CreatorDrew GoddardStarsCharlie CoxVincent D'OnofrioDeborah Ann WollA blind lawyer by day, vigilante by night. Matt Murdock fights the crime of New York as Daredevil.Emphasising Matts Catholicism and blindness was a good choice as superheroes tend to feel interchangeable. And the actor and the script sold the fact that he was blind very well. Fisk was believable, charming and evil with strong parallels to the hero making him the prefect foil.
- CreatorBruce MillerStarsElisabeth MossYvonne StrahovskiAnn DowdSet in a dystopian future, a woman is forced to live as a concubine under a fundamentalist theocratic dictatorship.Really slow start. Standard future androcratic theocratic dystopia, but from the female view. Asks questions about how the disenfranchised in society are controlled and how their anger is redirected. Of course you can't avoid the gender politics implicit in the show. You wince when you hear a character say something you have heard or seen by a real life bigot. Its good, but did I mention that its slow?
- CreatorSam EsmailStarsRami MalekChristian SlaterCarly ChaikinElliot, a brilliant but unstable cyber-security engineer and vigilante hacker, becomes a key figure in a complex game of global chaos when he and his shadowy allies try to take down the corrupt corporation his company is paid to protect.Very technical and topical
- CreatorGenndy TartakovskyStarsPhil LaMarrMakoKevin Michael RichardsonA samurai, sent through time, fights to return home and save the world.
- CreatorsJosh GordonWill SpeckStarsFred TatascioreJason SudeikisOlivia MunnIt tells the tale of a wronged Japanese snow monkey, mentored by the ghost of an American assassin, as he cuts a wide swath through the Tokyo underworld.
