    How unique can you be? Because no matter how unique and creative you are, you can't imagine something like Doctor Who. The pure talent behind the scripts, the storyline, and the characters - it takes time, effort, and a resilient, imaginative mind. This is exactly the show for you.

    I quite agree for it to be at the top! Time Travel is what it's all about. There can't be any adventures without the time-traveling Doctor inside his TARDIS!

    Phenomenal and legendary series. A Time Lord known as "the Doctor" travels through time and space in a TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimension In Space).

  2. Farscape

    Wormholes, time travel, amazing scenes from Earth and space.

  3. Steins;Gate

    Steins;Gate is a 2011 anime television series created by the animation studio White Fox. It is based on the 2009 visual novel developed by 5pb. and Nitroplus, and is part of the Science Adventure franchise. The series has been praised for its intricate time travel narrative.

    A time travel sci-fi anime series with extremely thought-provoking themes. It's an emotional, bittersweet, philosophical, thrilling adventure through the eyes of self-proclaimed mad scientist Okabe Rintarou. The first half of the show is very slow, but the second half is fantastic and is what the series is known for.

    Very, very, very well done. The dialogue and voice acting is excellent. This series tapped into some of the deepest aspects of humanity, in my opinion.

    But you have to watch the movie afterward. That made me tear up, and I'm a guy.

    Too underrated just because it's Japanese or anime. Everything about it is amazing. The music, the characters, the themes. It shows the dangers of time travel in a perfect way.

    So please, if you love time travel, romance, or even Doctor Who, this show is a must-watch. You should share it with other people because it is too good to be underappreciated like this. It should've at least reached the popularity heights of Neon Genesis Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop, or Death Note.

  4. Primeval

    Portals to different time periods start opening up and creatures from the past and future start to come through. There are indications that the portals are man-made, but their exact origin is shrouded in mystery.

    It's just such a fun show. The CGI is good, the acting is good, and the character development is great. It's just one of those shows you can't hate no matter how hard you try.

  5. Odyssey 5

    Astronauts are sent back in time after witnessing the end of the Earth from space.

  6. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

    A female Terminator from the year 2027 comes back in time to 1999 to protect a young John Connor. They then use the time displacement equipment to move forward in time by eight years to hide John. Various other Terminators are sent back in time on varying missions.

  7. Quantum Leap

    Dr. Sam Beckett helped to develop Quantum Leap, a project that would allow a person to time travel back to any point since that person was born. Beckett ended up being the test subject. While he could remember only certain details, he traded places with a person in the past.

    As a kid, my bedtime was 9 PM, but on Wednesdays, I could stay up till 10 PM because of Quantum Leap!

  8. Torchwood

    Humans and aliens alike from different periods in time start to come through to our world by means of a rift in the space/time continuum. The series itself is a spin-off from Doctor Who and a very decent spin-off.

  9. 12 Monkeys

    James Cole, a convict, decides to volunteer for a mission wherein he has to travel back in time to learn about the main reason behind the outbreak of a virulent holocaust.
