Down To Earth
What’s better than a tour of the world’s most beautiful regions? A tour of the world’s most beautiful regions guided by the world’s most beautiful man, Zac Efron!

During his trips, Zac interviews locals to see the better and more efficient ways other countries use their resources; but don’t worry, he also finds many excuses to take his shirt off in the process. Everyone wins! Stream it on Netflix.
Outlander
The stunning Scottish countryside is a character in itself in this sci-fi romance about a woman who accidentally time-travels from the 1940s back to the 18th century. But this show offers more than its landscapes: it’s also praised for the beauty of its costumes to its feminist messages. Stream it on Netflix.
Game Of Thrones
If you weren’t on the bandwagon during this pop culture phenom’s original run, now’s a great time to explore the fictional lands of Westeros and Essos. The characters of this show embark on an Odyssey adventure through a variety of breathtaking terrains — from the icy north to the sweltering deserts to everything in between. The setting usually changes from one scene to the next so that the viewer is always in a different climate. And, uh, don’t get too attached to the characters either! Stream it on HBO Max.
