There are many who believe thatAltered Carbonis the greatest sci-fi show of the last 10 years, and honestly, it is difficult to argue against them.

Throw into this world trained killers, sociopathic AI programs, murder, sex, drugs and enough violence to make Tarantino wince and you have a show that is absolutely unflinching and lavish.

The first season is a work of genius, a masterpiece. The second season, not so much.

A change in cast and director led to the show being watered down in order to appeal to a wider audience, a choice that was as disastrous as it was wrong and led to the series being cancelled.

You should still check it out though, there are few programmes onNetflixas bold and beautiful.

The 100was huge on its original release. An epic Sci-fi story spanning 100 episodes with a huge ensemble cast – surely there was no way this would ever be forgotten.

However, as time has moved on, forgotten it has become.

Spanning seven seasons, the show grew massively, with huge overlapping storylines, multiple character arcs and enough twists and turns to keep its audience happy.

Concluding in September 2020,The 100is now a perfect example of a complete drama series ready to be binged in full.

Imagine the MCU before it became a thing. It was a time of loose connections, shows that circled the Marvel universe without being directly associated, a time when TV and movies could be whatever they wanted to be without the constraints of the brand.

Legionis the absolute prime example of this.

Lead character David Haller (Dan Stevens) gains powers and abilities after a schizophrenia diagnosis sees him hospitalised. It is nothing like any other superhero drama of its time and still stands today as different to the rest of the MCU.

Visually stunning, unforgettable and absolutely not for everybody,Legionis a difficult and yet absolutely rewarding watch. It is difficult to binge due to its nature, but is certainly a show you won’t forget.
