Altered Carbon

We are facing one of the best-received science fiction series in the entire Netflix catalog, set in the middle of the XXV century; it tells the story of a world in which death does not exist. , when dying, the people’s mind is transferred to another body, thus being able to live infinitely.

French series set shortly in which, thanks to technology, humans have the possibility of finding our ideal partner with 100% effectiveness (laugh at the Tinder algorithm). However, the implant that makes this “miracle of love” possible will have a dark side that will have to be dealt with. Can technology dominate love?

If, in addition to Black Mirror, you are aware of David Lynch and other narratives located between the dreamlike and the surreal, The OA is your series. Throughout its two seasons, it follows the mysterious reappearance of Prairie, a blind girl missing for seven years. However, his return is wrapped in an inexplicable mystery: he does not remember where he was, he does not want to say anything, and … he is recruiting a select few for a mission that no one understands. What the hell is going on there?

• Year: 2016
• Seasons: 2

Love, Death & Robots

It isn’t easy to define a series with such a vast amalgam of styles. Still, we could say that we are facing a compilation of little animated science fiction stories focused on the evolution of human beings and their relationship with technology. In short, exciting work to give a try, especially if you are an open-minded person.

• Year: 2019
• Seasons: 1
• Episodes available: 19
• Approximate duration: 10 minutes

Dark

People have hallucinated with this series of German origin, and it is not for less. The script is perfectly worked, so as the chapters progress, we will be more and more hooked to the reality of Dark. To not reveal much, we will only say that it focuses on a town with many secrets to hide (time travel and alternative facts included). Of course, we already warn you that it is a demanding series with which you will put your neurons to work.

• Year: 2017
• Seasons: 3
• Episodes available: 26
• Approximate duration: 60 minutes

Sense8

Created by those responsible for the Matrix and Babylon 5, Sense8 tells the story of eight very different people who, after a tragic death, discover that they are mentally connected. The grace of the matter is that the eight people belong to other parts of the world, and thus, with the distance involved and shared emotions, they will have to discover who is threatening their existence.

• Year: 2020
• Seasons: 1
• Episodes available: 6
• Approximate duration: 40 minutes

Snowpiercer

Based on a movie starring Chris Evans, which hardly agrees with the series’ plot, Snowpiercer takes us aboard a train where the last living human beings on our planet are found since an ice age has wholly frozen the Earth. Traveling around the world without stopping, this train reflects a deep class struggle. The queue is left for the poorest, while the rich travel with the luxury of comforts without realizing that a revolution is about to come.

• Year: 2020
• Seasons: 2
• Episodes available: 15
• Approximate duration: 45 minutes

Into the night

Finally, and with another means of transport as the protagonist, an airplane, we find a science fiction series that takes us to an apocalyptic future where a massive solar event is killing the population. The passengers of a flight will have to face the fear arising from an air hijacking, while the crew must avoid, by all means, that the plane sees the sunrise or it will be the end of all the people traveling on board.

• Year: 2020
