The episodes are slyly plotted and openly cautionary, challenging the audience to ponder, for example, how artificial intelligence, social media, and computer-generated images are warping our perceptions. It is, hands down, the most relevant program of our time.

• Manhunt: Unabomber

Manhunt: Unabomber is a crime drama based on the FBI’s hunt for serial bomber Ted Kaczynski, who mailed a string of homemade bombs to targets including academics, airlines, and executives between 1978 and 1995.  This show gets under the skin of both protagonists, who we are led to believe have a lot more in common than they would perhaps like to admit.
