Battlestar Galactica (2003–2009)

TV remakes are rarely a good idea, but this 21st-century update of the '70s Battlestar Galactica series is an exception, thanks to strong writing, top-notch performances, and impressive technical craft. Set in a faraway star cluster, Battlestar Galactica chronicles the aftermath of a devastating attack on the human population by Cylons, manmade androids intent on destruction. Commander William "Bill" Adama (Edward James Olmos) and President Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell) lead the titular ship in a fight for humanity while searching for the elusive planet Earth. —Kevin Jacobsen

Being Human (2011–2014)

What happens when you put a vampire, a ghost, and a werewolf all in the same living quarters? It may sound like a goofy sitcom premise, but Being Human is actually a compelling drama about trying to figure out one's messy life. For Aiden (Sam Witwer), it's his complicated feelings over his vampirism; for Sally (Meaghan Rath), it's trying to live her (ghostly) life within the confines of her house; and for Josh (Sam Huntington), it's feeling like an outcast, which is only exacerbated by his werewolf identity. Despite their supernatural identities, each deals with human problems, and the three leads have an instant chemistry that will keep you invested. —K.J.

Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction (1997–2002)

"We live in a world where the real and the unreal live side by side," said the opening narration on this addictive anthology series. "Can you separate truth from fantasy? To do so, you must break through the web of your experience and open your mind to things beyond belief."

Each episode of Beyond Belief featured five short stories of a supernatural or science fiction variety, some made up by the writers. But others were based on events that may have actually happened, and it was up to the viewer to decide which were fact and which were fiction, which the host revealed at the end of each episode. This interactive element was enough to keep viewers hooked, as did the witty puns from hosts James Brolin (season 1) and Jonathan Frakes (seasons 2–4). —K.J.

The Boys (2019–present)

When Alan Moore penned Watchmen, his epic superhero saga, he offered arguably the darkest mainstream comic book look up to that point. Little did viewers know that The Boys would take things in an even darker direction, albeit with far more humor than the aforementioned Mr. Moore ever would have offered. Adapted from the Garth Ennis/Darick Robertson comic book series and executive produced by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, The Boys gets wilder with each passing episode...and if you doubt us, then may we suggest you investigate "Herogasm"?

While it's in no way for the faint of heart, The Boys absolutely answers the questions, "What would happen if superheroes weren't all squeaky-clean bastions of morality?" and "What kind of universe would Marvel be if no one had ever uttered the phrase, 'With great power comes great responsibility'?" The answer: a very disturbing one, indeed. Funny at times, but still pretty damned disturbing. —Will Harris

Cast: Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Dominique McElligott, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, Nathan Mitchell, Elisabeth Shue

Eureka (2006–2012)

While in the process of retrieving his runaway daughter Zoe (Jordan Danger) and bringing her home, U.S. Marshall Jack Carter (Colin Ferguson) stumbles upon Eureka, a town populated almost exclusively by genius-level citizens who work for an advanced research facility known as Global Dynamics and spend most of their days creating heretofore-unimagined technology. When an accident occurs that puts Eureka's sheriff out of commission, Jack is offered the chance to fill the position, and although he's clearly a fish out of water in terms of where his I.Q. stands in comparison to the average local, he takes the job and quickly forges a bond with the citizens of the town.

Eureka is structured in such a way that Jack is basically playing the part of the viewer, the outsider who's perpetually trying to figure out what's going on, but it works extremely well, especially with the family element provided by his daughter. —W.H.

The Expanse (2015–2022)

Set several hundred years in the future, The Expanse considers where humanity might end up heading, positing a scenario where the three major powers are the United Nations of Earth and Luna, the Martian Congressional Republic on Mars, and the Outer Planets Alliance (which encompasses the folks living on Jupiter, Saturn, and some habitable asteroids). Things are tense. War seems imminent. What great news, then, when a missing persons case emerges that ultimately threatens to expose a major conspiracy. It's kind of a "you got your political thriller in my sci-fi series/you got your sci-fi series in my political thriller" situation, but the end result is, thankfully, two great tastes that taste great together.

A repeat Saturn Award nominee for Best Science Fiction Television Series, The Expanse definitely isn't the happy-go-lucky sci-fi that some of the other programs on this list may be, but it's must-see TV and then some. —W.H.

Fallout (2024–present)

Videogame adaptations are notoriously hit or miss, but this visually arresting series based on the Fallout series is a clear winner — and now 16-time Emmy nominee! Set more than 200 years after an apocalyptic nuclear attack, a young woman named Lucy (Ella Purnell) emerges from her bunker in search of her captured father (Kyle MacLachlan), exploring an unpredictable wasteland full of colorful characters. "The eight-episode season exists in a vivid and captivating universe that will be familiar to gamers," EW's critic observes, "though knowledge of the franchise isn't required to enjoy its darkly comic dystopian pleasures." —K.J.

Farscape (1999–2003)

When astronaut John Crichton (Ben Bowder) gets sucked into a wormhole, he finds himself in a distant part of the Milky Way, but that was just the beginning of the strangeness he'd experience over the course of four seasons and a miniseries. Crichton quickly ends up part of a ragtag band of outsiders trying to escape from a militaristic group called the Peacekeepers. Traveling in a living starship called Moya, Crichton's crew consists of renegade Peacekeeper fighter pilot Aeryn, empath Zhaan, warrior D'Argo, deposed ruler Rygel, and — after a few episodes — a thief named Chiana.

For all their disparity, however, these characters share one thing in common: They're all on a quest to find their way home. Unfortunately, the Peacekeepers, led by the despicable Scorpius, have every intention of stopping that from happening. With creatures created by the Henson Company, the visuals are fun in Farscape, but the chemistry is even better. —W.H.

Cast: Ben Browder, Claudia Black, Virginia Hey, Anthony Simcoe, Gigi Edgley, Paul Goddard, Lani Tupu, Wayne Pygram

Fringe (2008–2013)

With a title like Fringe, you can already presume that the content is going to be a little bit unconventional, but this J.J. Abrams-co-created series goes not only outside the box but into parallel dimensions. The show revolves around three core characters: FBI Agent Olivia Dunham (Anna Torv), researcher/real-life mad scientist Dr. Walter Bishop (John Noble), and Walter's son, Peter (Joshua Jackson), who serves as a civilian consultant while also effectively acting as nursemaid to his eccentric father. Working for the Fringe Division, this trio investigates strange events, many of which are tied to Walter's past experiments, and they often cross paths with the company Massive Dynamic, founded by Walter's former scientific collaborator, Dr. William Bell (Leonard Nimoy).

Fringe is a series that could break your brain if you watch episodes in nonconsecutive order, but it's also one that rewards viewers who stick with it through its entire run. —W.H.

Gen V (2023–present)

While essentially sold as The Boys: The College Years, this spinoff of the popular Amazon superhero saga is far from your traditional CW-esque college-set show. The dark comedy-drama centers on a group of budding superheroes attending the Godolkin University School of Crimefighting, or "God U." Blood manipulator Marie (Jaz Sinclair) is our window into the story, as she has a surprisingly eventful first week at school. She also comes to discover the shadiness of Vought International, the big bad conglomerate that owns the university.

Those who haven't watched The Boys may want to check it out before diving into this spinoff (you may be a tad lost on some of the references), but avid Boys watchers should revel in Gen V's cheeky violence and trenchant social commentary. As EW's critic writes, "Gen V would kick ass even if The Boys didn't exist." —K.J.

The Greatest American Hero (1981–1983)

This classic superhero dramedy follows Ralph (William Katt), an ordinary high school teacher whose life is turned upside down after encountering extraterrestrial aliens. They give him a special suit that grants him extraordinary abilities, enhancing his vision and speed and giving him the ability to fly. They command him to protect the planet from untold threats, though Ralph proves reluctant to accept his responsibility. A goofy spin on the boom of superhero shows of the '80s, The Greatest American Hero can now be enjoyed for its charmingly cheesy aesthetic. —K.J.

Grimm (2011–2017)

"There once was a man who lived a life so strange, it had to be true. Only he could see what no one else can — the darkness inside, the real monster within, and he's the one who must stop them. This is his calling. This is his duty. This is the life of a Grimm."

So goes the narration that opens this series, but we'll offer a little more clarification. The man in question is Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli), a homicide investigator for the Portland Police Department, and he's a Grimm, descended from a line of individuals who've been deemed the protectors of humanity against the supposedly mythological "Wesen" who are walking the planet. With the help of his partner, Det. Hank Griffin (Russell Hornsby), and Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell), one of the good Wesens, Nick's adventures are part cop show, part sci-fi tale, and the combination is a blast. —W.H.

Heroes (2006–2010)

Following the massive success of Lost, network TV execs greenlit several sci-fi series, most of which were ill-fated. Then came Heroes, which exploded onto the scene with a world-spanning scale that hadn't been seen much on television at the time. The series followed various characters from all different walks of life who all happened to have superhero powers — from psychics to mimics to flying abilities — many of whom were instrumental in helping to "save the cheerleader, save the world." Heroes may have had more of a mixed reception in its latter years, but that first season remains one of the most gripping, audacious debuts we've seen from network TV in the modern age. —K.J.

Invincible (2021–present)

Invincible, based on writer Robert Kirkman's popular comic, blends classic superhero tropes with the character development of a family saga. The animated series centers on Mark (voiced by Steven Yeun), a high schooler whose father Nolan (J.K. Simmons) happens to be the most powerful superhero in the world — Omni-Man, a Superman-esque alien who wards off villains. Mark inherits his father's powers and must figure out how to control them while also sharing the struggles most teenagers go through as they grow up.

The series finds a strong balance between Mark's coming-of-age story and the superpowered world he inhabits, accented by flashes of violence that go beyond your traditional Saturday morning cartoon. —K.J.

The Man in the High Castle (2015–2019)

It's one thing to do a time-travel series where every trip into the past creates the potential for accidentally changing the past, but it's quite another to devote an entire series to the premise of an alternate future. In the world of The Man in the High Castle, based on the Philip K. Dick novel, the year is 1962, but given that the Axis powers won World War II in 1946, a scenario which played out as a result of the assassination of FDR in 1933, things are decidedly different than they otherwise would be, not least of which because Germany dropped an atomic bomb on Washington, D.C.

Things begin shifting in a more favorable direction for the resistance fighters, however, when the mysterious titular character produces films that indicate the existence of other parallel universes where history hasn't happened in the same way, offering the rebels a rare sense of hope...if only they can reach them. —W.H.

Outer Range (2022–2024)

This is inarguably the least science-fiction-y inclusion on this list, but there's one specific aspect of Outer Range that causes it to qualify. Otherwise, it feels like a modern-day western à la Yellowstone. The series stars Josh Brolin as Royal Abbott, a Wyoming rancher with a wife (Cecilia, played by Lili Taylor) and two sons: Rhett (Lewis Pullman) and Perry (Tom Pelphrey). In addition to dealing with the mysterious disappearance of Perry's wife, Rebecca, there's also a mysterious stranger — Autumn (Imogen Poots) — who's camping out on the ranch.

Ah, but you're wondering about the sci-fi element: Suddenly, for no discernible reason, a giant circular void has appeared on the Abbotts' land, one which results in a myriad of effects when someone goes into it. It's an unlikely blending of plots — there's also a storyline where another family tries to steal Royal's land — but damned if it doesn't work. —W.H.

Paper Girls (2022)

This acclaimed series based on the comic book series of the same name by Brian K. Vaughan may have been short-lived, but it's still well worth the watch. Tiff (Camryn Jones), Erin (Riley Lai Nelet), Mac (Sofia Rosinsky), and KJ (Fina Strazza) are the paper girls, going about their routine delivering papers the morning after Halloween 1988, when they stumble into a fierce conflict between time travelers.

While many shows and movies based on comics are enhanced by knowledge of the source material, Vaughan told EW that such knowledge is unnecessary to enjoy the show. "If you're a hardcore fan of the comic, it's still going to be extremely surprising to you," he said. "With our blessing, they go to some places that we never could as a comic and there are new characters, there are new threats." —K.J.

The Peripheral (2022)

This short-lived adaptation of William Gibson's 2014 novel of the same name imagines a dangerous future in which reality and simulation are two sides of the same coin. Taking place in 2032, the series stars Chlo? Grace Moretz as Flynne, a VR expert who tests out a new prototype for her brother, in which she transports to what she thinks is a futuristic simulated world. But the truth is far more consequential to Flynne's reality than she can even imagine, threatening her life in the real world.

"It's Gibson at his best in terms of complete immersive world creation and almost uncanny ability to predict the future," executive producer Lisa Joy told EW ahead of the series premiere, "so much so that many of the things he's predicted have already come to pass as of today. But he combines it with what feels like a really personal story." —K.J.

Person of Interest (2011–2016)

CBS' Person of Interest pulled off a magnificent balancing act of constantly building on itself, while — especially in the beginning — sticking to its network-standard procedural format. The series follows enigmatic billionaire Harold Finch (Michael Emerson) and his development of a machine that is able to predict future crimes. Finch teams up with war veteran John Reese (Jim Caviezel) as they attempt to squash future terrorist activity. What starts as a compelling case-of-the-week eventually turns into a grand-scale saga of competing artificial intelligence, and all the moral dilemmas that lie within. As EW's critic writes, "The show can simultaneously unsettle, comfort, excite, and amuse its viewers — something for everyone, if you, like Mr. Finch, like to watch." —K.J.

Space: 1999 (1975–1977)

For sci-fi fans who lived through the '70s, Sept. 13, 1999 remains a date that lives in infamy, as it's when a massive nuclear explosion causes the moon to be ripped out of Earth's orbit and hurled into outer space, thereby kicking off Space: 1999 in unforgettable fashion. Suddenly, the inhabitants of Moonbase Alpha are in very, very uncharted territory, but under the leadership of Commander John Koenig (Martin Landau), they make the most of their situation, exploring the new areas of space that they're abruptly thrust into.

The series reteams Landau with his then-wife, Barbara Bain, with the couple having previously worked together on Mission: Impossible. Here, she's playing Helena Russell, head of the base's medical department. While Space: 1999 was retooled somewhat for its second season, adding Catherine Schell as shapeshifting science officer Maya, the series shows exactly what '70s sci-fi was like in the pre-Star Wars era. —W.H.

Stargate SG-1 (1997–2007)

It began as a 1994 film by Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich about an ancient alien device found on Earth that allows for transportation to other worlds, and with this show developed by Brad Wright and Jonathan Glassner, Stargate was transformed into a multi-series TV franchise.

A deft blending of storylines involving the U.S. government and its military-led exploration of other planets while also defending its home turf, Stargate SG-1 stars Richard Dean Anderson for the first eight of its 10 seasons, with Ben Browder (Farscape) filling his shoes for the final two. But it's the show's ensemble cast — including Michael Shanks, Amanda Tapping, Christopher Judge, and Don S. Davis — that helps to successfully anchor SG-1 in an emotional reality despite all of the special effects and alien races, technology, and landscapes, and serves to make it such an entertaining and exciting trip week after week. —W.H.

Starhunter ReduX (2000–2004)

While it may be the most outside-the-box inclusion on this list, there's a lot to like about this short-lived sci-fi series, which — not coincidentally — is also likely the most underseen program in the mix. Starhunter ReduX is set on a former space luxury liner that's been refit to serve as home to a crew of intergalactic bounty hunters in the 23rd century, and it's another show that was forced to endure significant retooling for its second season, including the inexplicable removal of star Michael Paré.

Even those who remember the show during its original run will likely enjoy the opportunity to revisit it, but note that ReduX in its title indicates that it's gotten a revamp, including updated special effects, newly shot scenes, and a new 4K transfer. Heck, there are even some actor updates, but we don't want to spoil all of the Starhunter fun. —W.H.

Tales From the Loop (2020)

Adapting Simon St?lenhag's art book of the same name, Tales From the Loop is a deeply humanistic examination of life in an Ohio town — which happens to contain an experimental underground facility called the Loop. The town features all natures of strange phenomena from time traveling to body swapping, which impacts the lives of its residents. Starring Rebecca Hall and Paul Schneider as a married couple working in the Loop, the series features gorgeous Emmy-nominated cinematography and visual effects that bring St?lenhag's striking imagery even further to life. —K.J.

The Tick (2016–2019)

This third TV adaptation of the comic book of the same name had the benefit of coming out at a time of peak superhero culture. The series deals in familiar tropes: The blue-suited man known as the Tick (Peter Serafinowicz) is blessed with superstrength and near invincibility, while mild-manner Arthur (Griffin Newman) is his trusted sidekick. Together, they attempt to take down a supervillain known as the Terror (Jackie Earle Haley), a key figure in Arthur's traumatic origin story.

The Tick finds a way to be both a clever spoof and a loving ode to the world of superheroes, with, as EW's critic put it, a "just-right mix of dark humor and inventive world-building." That it was canceled too soon after only two seasons just adds to its underappreciated status. —K.J.

The Twilight Zone (1959–1964)

The ultimate in TV science fiction, The Twilight Zone mastered the art of single-episode storytelling. Set in a dimension not too far from our own "whose boundaries are that of imagination," each episode centers on characters grappling with surreal phenomena — though typically rooted in real-life anxieties and fears. From alien invaders to nuclear annihilation, just about every form of science fiction is covered through five seasons. —K.J.

Upload (2020–present)

Created by Greg Daniels, the man behind the American adaptation of The Office and co-creator of Parks and Recreation and King of the Hill, this series posits a world where death is no longer final and one's existence can be continued by being "uploaded" into a virtual afterlife.

Unfortunately, when it happens to Nathaniel Brown (Robbie Amell), he's not expecting it, and his fate is left in the hands of his girlfriend, Ingrid (Allegra Edwards), who holds it over his head that she's footing the bill for his expensive afterlife in Lakeview. Meanwhile, Nathaniel forges a friendship with Nora (Andy Allo), the Lakeview employee assigned to help him transition into his new existence, and the two discover that there's a romantic spark between them. In the midst of all of this, Nathaniel also begins to suspect that his death may not have been accidental. It's a sci-fi rom-com murder mystery. Who could ask for anything more? —W.H.
