![]() Where to watch it: HBO Out of the frying pan and into the giant dinosaur's mouth. It's almost worth that whole Native American burial ground controversy. This year saw our fair share of bad YA adaptations (looking at you, The Darkest Minds) but The Death Cure is a fun, exciting rush that starts with a Mad Max-like train chase and never relents. In the mid-20th century, Rod Serling’s TV series The Twilight Zone showed network viewers what could happen to our ability to be civil in the face of nuclear falloutor how our own prejudices and fears might turn us into the very monsters we seek. In the finale of the Maze Runner series, The Death Cure sees our Glader heroes, who have been poked, prodded, and experimented on just for being immune to a deadly zombie virus, take power into their own hands and bring the fight to the evil scientists trying to turn their bodies into medicine. The best sci-fi tells stories with vision, ambition, drama, and even, many times, humor. Why it's great: Running off of the same popularity that fueled the awful, doomed Divergent series, the Maze Runner movies are maybe the most pleasant surprise of the wave of young adult novel adaptations that came after Harry Potter's success. Cast: Dylan O'Brien, Kaya Scodelario, Patricia Clarkson
