A rag-tag crew of space-smugglers becomes embroiled in a plot to capture one of its crew which expands into them going up against the whole of the multiplanetary alliance.

One of the best movies I've seen. It's concise, extraordinarily well-acted, looks great, and has a phenomenal story. I don't know that I'd recommend this for people who haven't seen Firefly - (2002 show), but for those who have seen and liked the series this film becomes mandatory viewing, though only after a long while after watching the series.

An unknown event gave alternate-past Victorian Londoners a random superpower, and their numbers became pronounced enough to attract the attention of worried politicians. Or something.

Really interesting! I guess it's worth watching, but it slide sideways and got too strange to follow. It really needed more seasons to figure it's shit out, but the woke brigade MeToo-dogpiled Joss Whedon without evidence so he got shunned.

Two people learn that they have known each other their whole lives.

A nice, soft, moody, movie.

Iron Man is a prick, dooming the world unless The Avengers can save it.

Another comic book movie. Meh. I'm sure it made money, but it makes no contributions to anything whatsoever. Recommended for pop comic book movie fans.

Properly titled Avengers: Age of Ultron

A space-western with a motley down-and-out crew struggling on the edge of a semi-dystopian planet-spanning civilization.

Easily one of the best television shows I've ever seen. I don't just consider this mandatory, I will dog people to watch it. I bought two copies of this series just to give one away.

Let me stress this. This is a series so good that even after cancellation there was enough popularity to produce a movie. A movie for a cancelled series. The only one I've ever heard of. Serenity - (2005 movie) is itself mandatory viewing for those who have enjoyed Firefly.

Mandatory viewing. I have been brought to tears more than once.

Continues with Serenity - (2005 movie)
- Serenity uses the same characters in the same world, but is not meant to progress story arcs from the series.
- This inspired Browncoats꞉ Redemption - (2010 movie)

I'll add notes when I re-watch this series.
Do not watch this without respecting the Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel viewing order.

A vampire, cursed with a soul to be immortally haunted by his past, hopes for absolution by fighting the damned.

An astonishing series. The characters and story are outstanding. While built upon/within the Buffy the Vampire Slayer universe, it has a different and significantly more adult story line. I would say that this series is better than its parent, but Buffy is mandatory and still enjoyable viewing to get to this one.

Mandatory viewing.

Set in the universe of Buffy the Vampire Slayer - (1997 show), sharing significant-enough elements that crossover-viewing is largely considered mandatory. See Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel viewing order.

I'd need to re-watch this to add proper notes.

A highschool cheerleader, learning she is imbued with the spirit of the Vampire Slayer and her school was built on a Hellmouth, is trained by an ancient order of Watchers to fight vampires and other monsters from ending the world.

An astonishing series, and I don't say that lightly. The characters and story are outstanding. While this is a fast-and-loose show, it matures. It spinoff/partner series, Angel - (1999 show) is even more adult. This show is well worth the time, even if its initial episodes put the viewer off with its childishness. It's not a series that "grows on you", it really does get better and better, building upon and maturing out of its initial impressions.

Mandatory viewing.

Inspired by Buffy the Vampire Slayer - (1992 movie), which is neither mandatory nor recommended viewing.
See also Angel - (1999 show), which is set in this universe and shares significant-enough elements that crossover-viewing is largely considered mandatory. See Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel viewing order
Inspired a comic book sequel.
See also Supernatural - (2005 show) for a similar premise.
