Unique Dramas/Movies I PTW... (not my usual cup of tea)

these are dramas & movies that normally aren't my cup of tea but look interesting, so I may try them one day soon...? scifi, aliens, time travel, zero romance, and more. shows or tropes I usually avoid but may want to watch when the mood strikes because they sound intriguing or come highly recommended.
