Ten science fiction television series to binge-watch.

We all do it: eat while watching television. Now do it comfortably.

Danes and Rhys shine brightly.

Gabriel and Andy are a gay couple of eight years living in Wales, and are in the early days of adoption. A process that requires the hubris of Rome and the excavation of our deepest grottos. A process that, frankly, needs more light in the zeitgeist as panels and bureaucrats play God, forming families out of what is too often despair.

Anna and John wake in the morning and sing and dance their way to school as buildings explode in the background and neighbors fight and die between air guitar riffs and jazz hands.
