Some people picture the future and imagine incredible things — flying cars, space travel and egalitarianism are just the beginning. Others look ahead and picture things only going downhill. From government control to society collapsing into anarchy, the dystopian point-of-view often depicts the worst-case scenario. Strangely, given our present circumstances, watching these types of TV shows can provide a thrilling escape that leaves us feeling like things are at least not that bad (yet).
Netflix has some of the best dystopian TV shows available for streaming. From a show that lets you watch people play a game that puts their lives at risk to one that tells the story of survivors after civilization is destroyed, these shows will help you feel a bit better, even if it's for a moment.
