Falling Skies packs plenty of action and adventure along with family tension and sky-high stakes (no pun intended). If you liked Station Eleven, you might also enjoy: Maniac, streaming on Netflix.Įxecutive producer Steven Spielberg welcomes you to a world overrun by violent and extremely deadly extraterrestrials in this post-apocalyptic drama that originally aired on TNT, but earned its rightful spot among HBO's best sci-fi series. Meanwhile, the show's creative throughline comes from creator Patrick Somerville, who also wrote for The Leftovers and created Made for Love, two other great sci-fi shows that made this list - and Station Eleven is yet another feather in his impressive cap. Himesh Patel, Nabhaan Rizwan, Daniel Zovatto, Lori Petty and Danielle Deadwyler round out the cast while Hiro Murai (filmmaker and frequent Donald Glover collaborator behind much of Atlanta and director of Childish Gambino's "This Is America" music video) helmed the first and third episodes. Mackenzie Davis stars as Kirsten, an actor in a post-apocalyptic traveling theater group who was only eight when the world as she knew it ended. The 10-episode story develops over multiple timelines, revealing the immediate aftermath of a deadly flu pandemic and the world that springs up decades later. What happens when you combine a devastatingly timely story from an award-winning book, the showrunner who wrote the mind-bending and melancholy Maniac, and a top-notch cast? Well, you get the gorgeous and singular miniseries Station Eleven. If you liked Westworld, you might also enjoy: Altered Carbon, streaming on Netflix. However, the fourth season that just aired gets things back on track. With a stellar cast including Anthony Hopkins, Evan Rachel Wood, Thandiwe Newton, Jeffrey Wright, Aaron Paul (in later seasons) and Tessa Thompson, Westworld begins on such a high note that it's worth watching even knowing that later seasons don't quite meet the same standard. But when the androids - or hosts as they're called in the show - begin to rebel against their programming and think for themselves, the humans behind the theme park are forced to face the deadly consequences. Here, the engrossing first season introduces us to heroes and villains, both human and not. The robots are put to work fulfilling every depraved wish and whim of wealthy thrill-seekers from around the world in a huge, entirely artificial frontier landscape, complete with fake cliff formations and a Wild West saloon town.

Based on the 1973 movie written and directed by Jurassic Park author Michael Crichton, HBO's Westworld brings to life a future filled with androids so lifelike, they are virtually indistinguishable from humans.
