Doctor Who

     

     Doctor Who is a science-fiction themed show that centers on its protagonist “Doctor Who,” a time-traveling being, "time-lord," from an alien species called the gallifreyans. In the show, time lords are one of the oldest alien races in the entire universe, they have tremendous knowledge of time and space. However, not to give away spoilers, but they are a race long gone from the present time. Doctor Who is considered the last of his kind, for he is apparently the cause of his race's disappearance due to a war that raged on between his people and a species called the “Darleks,” which is a race that only wants to obliterate anything that isn't a darlek; it's a very long and intricate, but interesting back story. 

     Going back to the “Doctor,” he is the only one known in the universe to be in possession of a T.A.R.D.I.S. (Time and Relative Dimensions in Space), a time machine. From guilt of being the apparent cause of the lost of his race, Doctor Who travels through all of time and space, defending the good, especially those on Earth, one of his favorite planets. The Doctor is also a very lonely being, he ages slowly, and when he's about to die, he is able to regenerate, which transforms his body into a new and healthier one, but his race is only allowed twelve regeneration. So, along his journey, being the lonely travelers he is, The Doctor meets companions who join him in his quest of expanding knowledge and defending justice.  Also, on a last note, considering that the beings that the Doctor meets, and especially the antagonists, a lot of them happen to be family related, viewers may find a similar branch in enjoying the show The Sopranos.
