To distract from what is happening in reality.

Developed

Lily Chan is an engineer at one of the largest and most advanced technology companies in the world. Her colleague and part-time young man is transferred to the secret research department, and the next day he dies. The official version of what happened is suicide, but Lily does not believe it. She begins her own investigation: she collects information about the corporation and infiltrates the very secret department.

The series was directed by Alex Garland, known for the films "Out of the Car" and "Annihilation". This means that "Developers" will have unexpected plot moves, riddles, philosophical reflections and attempts to predict the role of technology in the near future.

Through the snow

A man-made disaster returns the Earth to the ice age. The survivors are imprisoned in a train that rushes along the trans-Eurasian highway. There are no stops, you cannot get off the train: everywhere there is snow, ice and cold. The interrelationships of the heroes in the closed space of the carriages do not develop in the best way. The reason is the strict hierarchy that divides passengers into the elite and the oppressed.

The main role in the dystopia was played by Jennifer Connelly, who you might have seen in Requiem for a Dream, A Beautiful Mind, or Shelter. The director of the series is the Englishman James Hawes. His track record already includes cult science fiction films, such as "Black Mirror" or "Doctor Who".

"Through the Snow" will only be released at the end of May, but the series has already been renewed for a second season. This credit of trust hints that we will have a fascinating and entertaining story ahead of us.

Messages from another world

The boring life of an office worker Peter changes in one day: after an accidental collision on the street, employees of the mysterious Jejun Institute come out to him and offer to take part in a social experiment. Peter, along with other young people, needs to explore the city, relying on interactive prompts and completing various, sometimes very strange, tasks. After a while, the heroes learn that the Institute is using them as spies. This is where all the fun begins.

Jason Siegel - Marshall from How I Met Your Mother plays the main role in Messages from Another World. He also acted as a screenwriter and director of the picture. Sally Field (Forest Gump, The Amazing Spider-Man) and Richard Grant (Logan, Star Wars: Skywalker Rise) co-starred with him.

Tic-tac-toe

Fiction with a bias in melodrama from the BBC. In the alternative reality of the 21st century, Europe was colonized by Africa. Black people do not need anything and feel great, while white people are humiliated and discriminated against. In this difficult environment, forbidden interracial love breaks out between British Callum and African Saffi.

The series is based on the bestseller Malorie Blackman, she also wrote the TV version. According to the writer, many cases of discrimination are based on her real life experience. The main roles in the film adaptation were played by young actors Masali Baduza and Jack Rowan. The authors of the show believe that with the help of new faces they will be able to draw more attention to the problem of racism.

Amazing stories

The author and executive producer of Amazing Stories is Steven Spielberg, which is why the series deserves attention. The show consists of five episodes, each of which tells about one hero, who got into one or another unusual situation.

Unlike many science fiction films, the history of mankind in "Amazing Stories" develops according to an optimistic scenario: there are no notorious villains who have seized power, the end of the world has not come, no one is abusing the latest technologies. Characters live in peace and harmony, take care of each other. And to watch this is no less exciting than the next loud apocalypse. A great show to cheer you up and believe that everything can turn out well in the future.
