Lovecraft Country (2020)
Originally aired on HBO Max, this Jordan Peele and J.J. Abrams-produced drama-horror series is about a young Black man who travels across the U.S. in the ’50s, during a time when segregation was the norm. He wants to find his dad, but when he arrives in the town that the famous horror author H.P. Lovecraft highlighted in his seemingly-fictional stories, he discovers dark secrets lurking there that are enough to make one wonder if the stories were fiction after all.
Along with Peele and Abrams as executive producers, the series stars Jonathan Majors (before he was Kang in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania), Courtney B. Vance, Jurnee Smollett, and Tony Goldwyn. While a planned second season was scrapped, there’s still plenty to savor in the first season’s 10 episodes, which offers an intriguing look at America’s racial history through a horror lens.
Midsomer Murders (1997)
Babylon 5 (1994)
A beloved TV and film franchise, Babylon 5 centers around a 5-mile-long space station of the same name. Built by the Earth Alliance in the 2250s and located in neutral space, Babylon 5 serves as a sanctuary for alien races to air grievances and negotiate conflicts.
Representatives from the Earth Alliance, Minbari Federation, Centauri Republic, Narn Regime, and Vorlon Empire work with the League of Non-Aligned Worlds to effectively manage interstellar relations. But the peaceful hall of justice is also a military post for Earth and a major intergalactic commercial hub, creating all kinds of potential for trouble.
