4. Utopia

John Cusack and Rainn Wilson star in Utopia, a science-fiction show about a group of people who stumble upon a mysterious comic book and must save the world. The show has many sci-fi elements and is hard to describe without revealing all of the plot twists and deep layers within the story.
