3. Doctor Who
Doctor Who is a British series centered around the “Doctor,” who travels through time and space with his companions in a remarkable phone booth, the TARDIS.
It is one of the most iconic and longest-running series ever. Doctor Who first aired in 1963 and has 39 seasons. Season 40 is in planning but has no release date yet.
The series captivates fans primarily with its diverse episodes and settings. For example, the Doctor travels once to the Globe Theatre in 1599, and another time to a distant planet in the future.
Serious themes are lightened by humorous moments, and the various actors who play different incarnations of the Doctor give the role an individual touch each time, keeping the character intriguing over the years.
What IMDb ratings say: The series (since 2005) receives 8.6 stars with a total of 233,815 IMDb ratings.
Fun fact: A Doctor Who companion is so dark that she was never featured in the series.
4. The Mandalorian
For good Star Wars series, we have chosen The Mandalorian as a representative. Other highly praised titles from the franchise include Andor or Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
The series involves a stoic bounty hunter who gets embroiled in an adventure where he must take care of a small baby Yoda.
With settings and characters already familiar from the films, Star Wars feelings quickly arise among fans. Many love the dynamic between the cold loner and his small protegé, for whom he gradually becomes a kind of surrogate father.
What IMDb ratings say: 556,327 users rated The Mandalorian on IMDb, with the series averaging 8.7 stars.
Fun fact: Gina Carano (Cara Dune) initially thought that she would play a Wookiee and was quite surprised to find out that her face would actually be seen in the series (via Screenrant.com).
