10 Sci-Fi TV Shows You Must Binge-Watch This Fall
2. Away
It isn't often that you come across a science fiction show grounded in realism, but Away promises to provide you with just that - and, by the looks of the trailer, so much more.
Starring Hilary Swank, it follows an astronaut who embarks on a three-year mission, commanding an international space crew as they all venture to Mars. But in order to do that, she must leave her family. And when she's away, her husband and daughter begin struggle without her as health issues befall the former.
A story of family, Away spotlights the whole crew onboard as each of them struggle with the fact that they had to leave their families behind, juggling that heartache with the pressures of making history in space, and it promises to be every bit as emotionally engaging as it is visually impressive.
Another example of how Netflix has really come through this year with all types of content, Away's 10 episodes arrive on September 4.
