I'm surprised nobody mentioned Electric Dreams (2017-2018). A series of pure gems based on PKD's legacy.

I really, really disliked that show. They completely mangled the plots, for one; Autofac is a great story, but the adaptation bears little resemblance to it.

They also made some odd choices that didn't really emphasize the qualities that PKD is known for. "Autofac" is the only really classic story here. Why not "The Electric Ant", "I Hope I Shall Arrive Soon", "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale" (rights still owned by the Total Recall producers maybe?), "A Little Something for Us Tempunauts", or "Faith of Our Fathers"? Or, indeed, Second Variety?
