Over the summer, I've really been enjoying the new TV series Salvation - it's my next favorite after Game of Thrones. The story is about a group of people trying to avert disaster after the discovery that the Earth is in imminent danger from an asteroid collision.

The show is styled as a Tom Clancy-esque techno-thriller and is very well-written, with fast-pacing, lots of plot twists and intrigue adding to the suspense. It also has a surprising amount of references to current politics and culture, including an Elon Musk type of hero with a powerful rocket and a vision for Mars colonization, tensions between the superpowers, a volatile US president snarling against the "Deep State", and even covers ISRO cooperating with NASA. The casting for the show is also very good, and even includes some young Indian-American actors in the mix. Microsoft and Amazon are among the sponsors of this TV production.
