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.

Global disaster survivors on a space station send 100 youths down who find an unfamiliar and dangerous world.
A mess of a Lord of the Flies meets teen-angst series.

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.

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.

Everyday idiots get superpowers and become idiots with superpowers.
I watched through season one and just gave up. It’s a bullshit non-show with no direction.
I’d have to re-watch this to add proper notes.

I can’t remember anything about this show, so I can’t actually summarize it.
It’s so cheezy!!!

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)
