Check out **Battlestar Galactica**. I know, they re-made/re-imagined it. It’s an incredible show and is, in my opinion, the greatest show of all time. I will also recommend LOST, a truly great show. Remember Mad Max? I know this is unbelievable, but the original director made a fourth one. it’s called **Fury Road**. Even more amazing, it’s the best action movie of all time and is probably the best movie released period from 2010-2017. Check it out. ---
