This is one of the most educational, pro-science dramas of all-time. In the same way that Breaking Bad would occasionally teach you something about science once per season, this show does that every episode.

The premise is that, with every human turned to stone and all technology lost, a teenage scientist becomes the first human to escape petrification, and now intends to restore the rest of humanity and recreate all lost technology from scratch. Very few shows will ever stoke your respect for science and human progress as much as this one.
