Not sure if these have been mentioned but I didn’t see them in the top post and as a die-hard sci-fi nerd I have to add them. I’m limiting this to “related to privacy or security in some way” or else I’ll be listing everything ever made. (Except Passengers.)
Documentaries:
- Kill Chain: The Cyber War on America’s Elections
- Coded Bias
- Nothing to Hide
- Terms & Conditions May Apply
- The Perfect Weapon (2020)
Movies:
- Kimi
Shows:
- Andor (it’s about rebellion/resistance and lots of privacy experts praised it when it came out as an accurate depiction of what it’s like to be part of a long-term struggle like the fight for privacy rights, so I’m counting it)
- The Handmaid’s Tale (again, more about resistance and how people in power usually aren’t true believers but just corrupt jackoffs)
- Inside Job (animated comedy about “what if every conspiracy theory was true,” so sometimes has jokes or plot points revolving around surveillance)
- Severance (not “privacy” per se but heavily about tech and control)
- The X-Files has many episodes that touch on surveillance or government control
Totally unrelated but really good and I think are worth mentioning anyways as a Sci-Fi nerd:
- Three Body (preferably the Chinese version but most people like the Netflix version. Books are always better)
- Silo
- Pluribus
- Dark
- The Expanse
- Travelers (2016), not a “must-see” but has a really interesting take on time-travel
- Pandorum
- Tenet
- Willy’s Wonderland (2021), basically a FNAF knock-off but it’s so dumb and absurd and fun
I’m not super active around these parts but god I love sci-fi. Anyone is always welcome to ping me to make a recommendation
