360 years in the future, human consciousness is very different. It's now stored in a file implanted in a person's neck and can be transferred from one person to another.

The richest members of society (Meths) never have to die. They simply transfer their consciousness (DHF) to a new body (known as a sleeve) when necessary. When a Meth named Bancroft wants to find out who killed him, he offers a political prisoner a chance at a new life if he can solve the case.

Also available on Prime and Vudu.

6 seasons, 27 episodes

Charlie Brooker's take on the invasion of technology and humanity's obsession with it is meant to unsettle. And boy, does it!

In many ways a reimagining of The Twilight Zone, each episode is a stand-alone show, but there is a clear theme that ties them all together. It's black comedy mixed with drama and a warning about the direction we're headed. But it's a compelling watch.

It's also available to stream on Prime and Apple TV.

4. Maniac
