1. Doctor Who
Doctor Who is one of the biggest shows on the air right now. It has one of the most vocal and loyal fanbases as well. One of the most phenomenal things about the show is how it is suited for every age.

A show that is set in the future, where humanity has taken over the solar system, this series is actually pretty mindblowing. The show has a unique perspective and the way it unravels is something that will actually leave your jaw dropping. The writing is subtle, and nuanced and weaves together plot points intricately. Its superior production value is what makes it a treat to watch.

3. Westworld
Alright, this show is literally one of the best shows ever! It’s actually something we watch and rewatch a lot. Unlike other shows that have touched on the topic of artificial intelligence, this show manages to incorporate it almost seamlessly. The story revolves around an amusement park populated by androids and how things start changing as they start developing a consciousness. Not only is the story amazing but the cast and visuals are also out of the world.

4. Sense 8
Ahh! Our heart breaks every time we think about Sense 8. Almost everyone on who uses Netflix was heartbroken when they decided to cancel this epic series. The show revolves around 8 different people around the world who get linked mentally and emotionally. It is the perfect balance of comedy, romance, horror and suspense and even though it’s just 2 seasons, you really have to watch it!

5. Altered Carbon
Altered Carbon is based on a supremely fascinating foundation that traces the human existence 300 years into the future. This is a time when human bodies are interchangeable and death is no longer permanent. Taking major inspiration from the Noir fiction, it makes for quite an impressive watch.
