1. Altered Carbon
Ever since its release on Netflix this past February, this cyberpunk science fiction action thriller has captured audiences with its darker take on the future of humanity. So far, in its first season of 10 episodes (each with a running time of 40 to 60 minutes), the show has already amassed a huge following, leading to its first award nomination: Saturn Award for the Best New Media Television Series. The critics have called this show an interesting experience that never seems to bore the audience one bit.
2. Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey
Originally airing on the Fox and National Geographic TV channels in 2014, this series concluded on its 13th and final episode. However, it has been revealed that the series will make a grand re-entrance into mainstream media sometime later this year. Viewers step aboard the ‘imagination ship’ and make a journey of discovery filled with scientific facts and just a touch of skepticism and amazement. Back in 2014, the show won several celebrated awards along with a Peabody Award for offering educational content to its viewers.
3. Band of Brothers
Originally broadcasted in 2001, this American drama mini-series won several awards and nominations, including 7 Primetime Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe Award! Produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, this 10-episode mini-series featured stories from World War II. This award-winning show will be featured again on HBO, so you will be able to watch it once more. The plot and script reflect the true events and overall story from author Stephen E. Ambrose after he conducted exclusive interviews with ‘East Company’ veterans, who were the Airborne’s 506th Regiment.
4. Planet Earth
Narrated by Sir David Attenborough, with music from Hans Zimmer, this amazing show will surely take your breath away in the first few moments. A British documentary that is considered the most expensive ever made, Planet Earth is filmed in high definition and is regarded as the greatest nature-related television show of all time. The attraction is limitless and the visuals are incredibly enjoyable.
The third series of Planet Earth has been announced and will broadcast this year following its phenomenal TV ratings for the second season, called “Planet Earth II.” The producers of the series have even shared an interesting fact: for every 400 minutes of film they capture through the camera, they only keep a minute of it in the actual episode. This just goes to show the quality of their standards.
