The surviving humans of a war against angels garrison themselves, and one of them is said to be their saviour.
Recommended. It’s got a lot of religion in it, but it’s generic.
I never did take notes for this. I probably should have. Maybe if I re-watch this series I will.
Cancelled

A one-room horror where angels descend to destroy all of mankind because god left, but a baby is to be the saviour of all mankind.
Meh. This isn’t a particularly good movie.
Dominion – (2014 show) is based on Legion. I wouldn’t consider this movie mandatory viewing before watching Dominion. In fact, I would recommend against viewing this movie because the series is so much better.

People at various times are abducted by aliens only to be returned in an extremely showy way, but with amnesia and superhuman abilities.
A series about as impressive as this sentence.

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.
The lawyer Saul got his own spinoff show, Better Call Saul – (2015 show)

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.
