apologizing number 10 the o-a o-a o-a
the oay is a fantastic mix of sci-fi and
fantasy with a plot that revolves around
the re-emergence of a young woman who’s
been missing for seven years upon her
mysterious return she has a new name and
the ability to see despite having been
blind when she initially disappeared
biggest mistake I made was believing
that if I cast a beautiful net I’d catch
only beautiful things co-created by and
starring the uber talented Brit Marling
the show has received generally positive
reviews from critics with one hailing it
as quote Netflix is strongest and
strangest original production since
stranger things from the striking
visuals to the acting and everything in
between this is one program you need to
check out storytelling is cleansing
number nine travellers according to a
media consumption report put out by
Netflix travellers was one of the
streaming services top 10 most binge
shows in 2017 and based on its plot it’s
easy to understand why the show is set
in a post-apocalyptic future and
revolves around a group of operatives
known as travelers who venture back in
time to prevent a global catastrophe we
all know assuming the lives of people
from another century they do this by
having their consciousness transferred
into the bodies of 21st century humans
on the cusp of death thereby limiting
their impact on the past it’s pure
sci-fi fun with enough action and
suspense to keep newcomers to the genre
thoroughly entertained this is
cool number 8 3% a penis 3 specific
versus certain selective group Pajero is
a commune damar out when you castle
funda do feel my spirit 3% a foreign
language dystopian thriller is the first
show on Netflix to be produced entirely
in Portuguese so prepare for subtitles
the world the show presents is a
fractured one one in which the wealthy
live in the off shore and the poor live
in the inland however through the
process citizens of the inland are given
the opportunity to leave you bet a
couple cook one single by side a couple
of course the path to paradise is not
without obstacles the show takes its
name from the fact that only 3% of the
people make it through the process a
tightly woven tale of sacrifice betrayal
and the quest for a better life 3% is
one Netflix original that lives up to
its name change system will be no bridle
rule number seven altered carbon sorry I
was waiting for a question that’s all
monologue there for a while so I kind of
tuned out in the year 23 84 your
memories can be digitized and downloaded
in human and non-human vessels known as
sleeves to be used for a variety of
purposes Takeshi Kovach a criminal and
political operative wakes up centuries
after his death in a new body and is
tasked with solving the murder of one of
the world’s wealthiest men friends are
overrated eventually someone will come
and shoot him in stack starring Joel
Kinnaman altered carbon is easily one of
the most binge worthy Netflix originals
in recent memory thanks to its unique
concept stunning visuals and top-notch
acting a sci-fi murder mystery with
cyberpunk overtures what’s not to like
absorb find what others have miss number
six dark see dad
the question isn’t how the question is
when this German sci-fi thriller has
been called stranger things for grownups
and it’s a fitting comparison the show
is set in a small town a portion of the
action takes place in the 80s and the
plot revolves around the disappearance
of a child however that’s where the
similarities end
dark involves time travel wormholes and
a decades-old secret that’s impacted
three generations of families from the
1950s to the present day contact the
central office for Missing Persons
I want everyone in the area questioned
the show is expertly paced slowly
pulling back the veil on a tiny German
town with no shortage of terrifying
secrets number 5 Jessica Jones it was
open if you’re one of those people who’s
yet to watch any of the Marvel Cinematic
Universe is small screen productions
because you’re not into the whole
superhero thing Jessica Jones is a very
good place to start
Krysten Ritter shines in the titular
role and David Tennant’s
mind-controlling baddie with a penchant
for the color purple manages to be both
terrifying and complex you’d be wise not
to dismiss this one as just another
comic-book adaptation because Jessica
Jones plays more like a hard-boiled
detective novel one that is admittedly
peppered with fantastical elements but
also tackles serious pressing
contemporary themes seriously you’ve got
to check this one out God didn’t do this
the devil did
and I’m gonna find him number four since
eight then big resinous it’s a language
other than us pieces since eight is
about eight strangers from across the
globe who slowly discovered that they
share a mental and emotional link
they’re able to jump in and out of each
other’s minds swapping knowledge and
mentally projecting into each other’s
environment a nuanced piece of science
fiction the show is blessed with a
unique plot and an excellent
not to mention diverse assemble cast
that meshes together beautifully we all
experience many births and deaths during
alive but few know what it means to be
reborn a sense 8 then what the fact that
the show was cancelled in 2017 get you
down grab a bowl of popcorn and get to
binging we promise you’ll soon count
yourself among the devoted fans calling
for more especially following the June
2018 series finale wanna know just the
one thing and then you will never see me
again
number three daredevil I’m asking
forgiveness for what I’m about to do a
comic book show first and foremost
daredevil strikes an interesting balance
between grounded and gritty and more
fantastical elements from its blind
protagonist who can see using his other
senses to the plot of season 2 which
revolves partially around an ancient
mystical organization full of ninjas who
won’t stay dead have two people in here
carry another finger typing trigger this
Netflix original series has garnered
considerable praise from critics thanks
to its brilliantly choreographed fight
sequences multifaceted characters and
tightly woven narrative featuring a
star-making performance from Charlie Cox
and a strong supporting cast daredevil
is one fantasy show you need to be
watching maybe he’s faking
is not number two stranger things shadow
grows on the wall behind you swallowing
you darkness few recent sci-fi series
Netflix original or otherwise have come
anywhere near close to having the
cultural impact of this one set in the
fictional town of Hawkins Indiana and
focusing on the mysterious upside-down
stranger things took the world by storm
in 2016 season one and season two picked
up Golden Globe nominations for Best
television series drama and the show has
been heralded by critics for its action
pacing and steady flow of 80s nostalgia
I never would have upset you if we knew
you had super powers both seasons are
currently rocking in 94 percent approval
rating on Rotten Tomatoes and the Afro
mentioned Netflix media report listed at
number one in the shows that brought us
together in 2017 category it’s not too
shabby okay number one black mirror
five-day slams how cool no nothing
coming in at number one is a show that
needs no introduction black mirror burst
onto the scene back in 2011 on the
British channel 4 before the series was
purchased by Netflix over the years it’s
inspired endless shock aw and sober
reflection thanks to its darkly
satirical examination of Technology and
its effects on society the sci-fi
anthology series has managed to score
some of the biggest names in the
industry from Jon Hamm to domhnall
gleeson and has continually produced
compelling and thought-provoking
episodes controversial yet engaging
disturbing yet funny black mirror fires
on all cylinders and is without a doubt
one of the best sci-fi shows on
television today
