Survivors of a plague that wipes out most humans make a desperate bid to undo it all by sending a man back in time.
I suppose it’s inevitable that a television series based around time travel will get convoluted really quickly because they stretch things out. Still, this doesn’t feel very good to me.

A money-desperate high school teacher and miscreant former-student enter the drug trade, which begins to consume them.
Breaking Bad is one of those uncomfortable-yet-riveting shows. While awesome for what it is, I don’t generally recommend it.
I did watch it, and I’m mostly happy I did, but it doesn’t leave a nice streak-free gloss on my memory. I guess that was the point.

Aliens come to earth and offer their technology but have ulterior motives.
V is another show which got cut before it got into its plot. I might be biased because of my appreciation for its subtleties and the previous TV show and TV-movies.
I do like it, and I wish it continued. I don’t consider this recommended viewing for people unfamiliar with the earlier works because it doesn’t get into its complete story.

I agree with Ray Bradbury, who found the miniseries “just boring”. I couldn’t give this show much of a chance because it really shows its age.

Fleeing the dystopian space stations of the survivors of a ruined earth, settlers crash and struggle to survive on an alien world.
This definitely does not stand the test of time. The music alone makes it cheesy as hell.

A science vessel is sent to Venus but is secretly collecting alien artefacts.
A must-watch for science fiction / space fans.
TODO – Screenshots. I would have to use some non-standard method. Windows 8.1 would allow me to take taskbar-only screenshots, but Windows 10 does not.
I’m the very first person ever to want to be able to see the text on my applications in the taskbar.
This is an unsolved problem.
Obsoleted by Windows 10 configuration, redux
