Orange is an anime, a manga, and a live action movie, about a 16-year old girl, Naho, who begins to receive letters from her 26-year old future self. The letters instruct her to change the future, to prevent the death of someone important to her, a boy name Kukiru.

But it's not as easy as it sounds. Future-Naho only knows what went wrong, not how to do it right, and the more present-Naho changes things, the less useful the letters become. She's going to have to rely on her wits, and her friends, and her love, and most importantly, she's going to have to need courage.

Farscape is an Australian-American science fiction show from 1999-2003. It tells the story of John Crichton, an astronaut from present day Earth, who travels through a wormhole and ends up in a distant part of the galaxy, where he joins the crew of Moya, a living ship. The crew are renegades escaping from a corrupt militaristic organization called the Peacekeepers. Together, they have many adventures as John keeps on trying to get home, as a grander story arc evolves.

In this special episode of Broadwaves, we look back over all seasons of Farscape, and discuss what our crew thought of this show. This are no major spoilers, so it's safe for you to listen to this podcast even if you haven't seen Farscape yet.

This is Wonderland is a Canadian TV series which aired on CBC. It is a legal drama, sort of. It's a show about Alice De Raey, a young criminal lawyer fresh out of law school, who is thrown in at the deep end, in the midst of a totally chaotic justice system. It is about the characters within that system, lawyers, judges and public alike, who range from the desperate to the bizarre.

This show is about the warmth, humanity and diversity of the characters. It is about the tenaciousness of the human spirit, about compassion and kindness, and sometimes just plain idiocy. Sometimes, it's so painful it's funny.

Sense8 is a Netflix original show, about eight people who start to discover they have a connection with each other. They learn that they can see through each other's eyes, and borrow each other's skills. They have become, in Sense8 mythology, a "cluster".

There are plenty of people out to get them. Individually, they each have their own stories, so that's eight adventures for a start. But together, they form part of a bigger story, a story about what it means to be human.
