Logan's Run
13 episodes (1977-1978) 60m
Despite the fact the 1976 feature film seemed to have already said it all, television had another crack at this story of the inhabitants of a futuristic city who unwittingly face euthanasia while young adults. A man and a woman go in search of a better deal and tackle the outside world for thirteen episodes. Looking better with time and surprisingly endurable.

22 episodes (1994-1995) 60m
Steven Spielberg's small-screen woes continued with the short-lived Earth 2. The remnants of humankind survive in space after Earth becomes uninhabitable. An advance team heads off to an Earth-like planet to pave the way for colonists. A crash-landing forces them to make their own way to 'New Pacifica', facing perils along the way.

Dark Angel
43 episodes (2000-2002) 60m
Stunningly beautiful Jessica Alba plays a genetically-enhanced super-soldier who years before had escaped from a lab project with some other children. Working for a messenger service in the post-apocalyptic Pacific Northwest, she teams up with a cyber-journalist, both to help avoid capture and track down others like her. Big budget and well-received critically, but only went two seasons.

Luke Perry stars as the title character in this series based on the European comic book of the same name. A deadly epidemic which wiped out all beyond puberty leaves the survivors in a bad way.

Humanity is in serious trouble and sends out families to colonise the Alpha Centurai system.
