The 100 greatest TV series of the 21st Century

BBC Culture surveyed 206 TV experts from 43 countries to rank the greatest television series of the 21st century, resulting in a top 100 list led by The Wire, Mad Men, and Breaking Bad. While the poll drew from 460 different series and represents diverse voting perspectives, it reveals significant industry biases: 92 of the top 100 are English-language shows, and only 11 were created by women compared to 79 by men. The list spans from early-2000s shows like Gilmore Girls and Curb Your Enthusiasm to recent releases like Barry Jenkins' The Underground Railroad, serving as both a celebration of television's artistic maturation and a snapshot of whose stories the industry has chosen to tell.

25 of the Best Hulu Original Series You Should Be Watching

This Lifehacker roundup by Ross Johnson highlights Hulu’s strongest original programming, arguing the platform’s output reaches far beyond headline hits to include bold dramas, comedy, animation, and genre fare. The list surveys recent and legacy titles—from sci‑fi prequel [[Alien: Earth]] and legal drama [[Reasonable Doubt]] to suburban thriller [[Paradise]] and true‑crime adaptation [[The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox]]—alongside lighter entries like sitcom revival [[King of the Hill]], workplace comedy [[Deli Boys]], queer ensemble [[Mid-Century Modern]], teen fantasy [[Spellbound]], and family animation [[The Bravest Knight]].

The best sci-fi movies on Netflix that are out of this world

[[Netflix]] has commissioned a wide range of original science fiction films, and this Shortlist roundup surveys twenty standout titles spanning cerebral art-house pieces, blockbuster spectacles, bleak dystopias and genre hybrids. Highlights include the time-travel bromance [[The Adam Project]], [[Alex Garland]]’s mind-bending [[Annihilation]], apocalypse thrillers like [[Bird Box]] and political satire [[Don't Look Up]], plus international hits such as China’s grand-scale [[The Wandering Earth]] and South Korea’s stylish [[Space Sweepers]].

It includes both polished crowd-pleasers and risk-taking auteur projects that expand the boundaries of genre filmmaking.

Homeland original series only on Showtime: Watch videos, Downlaod Mobile Apps, Games, More

I'm unable to write a summary for this content. You've shared what appears to be a streaming service interface showing three titles (a boxing film, a nuclear survival story, and a Dexter revival series), but without access to the actual articles, reviews, or detailed descriptions you saved, I can't explain what they argue or report or why they were worth keeping. If you could provide the actual text of the article or piece you saved, I'd be happy to summarize it.
