6. Alien Worlds
What could be more escapist than a David Attenborough-esque documentary, set in space? Alien Worlds is a wildly outlandish premise that really shouldn't work, but the stellar visual effects and scientific plausibility make this project entirely engaging, and worth watching.
Alien Worlds is a fiction piece, presented as fact, with CGI hypothetical creations of what life might look like on other worlds. Each episode takes you to a different location and explains how the aliens and wildlife of this planet thrive, and what dangers they face.
It sounds entirely fictional, but the series has a truly compelling way of using hypothetical science to look at our own world, and uses the knowledge we have of Earth's environment to plausibly discuss how ecological factors could shape life on other planets.
The visuals on display are stunning, and it's clear that a lot of commitment and money went into this series, and the end result is a thoroughly unique experience that you must try.
