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.

This “game” is a piece of shit. Avoid it unless you’re a big fan of Borderlands. Even then, you should probably avoid it.

I can’t describe it without spoiling it’s best part.
I happen to like boring 8-bit games, so the initial moments of this game are just fine for me. I stuck it out, because I knew a little bit about what was to come. Even though I saw it coming, I was really moved by the introduction to “the game proper”. Holy shit.
Great game, I think.. but I just don’t get it. Treasure maps make no sense. Secrets are nigh impossible. The world map is hopeless. I gave it a good shot, based on old hype, but no joy.

A Connect Four-like game, with some goofyness akin to the various Tetris remakes.
Boring as sin. The free flash game from a decade ago is the exact same thing.
