1. Dark
2. Andor
3. Severance
4. Scavengers Reign
5. Fringe
6. For All Mankind
7. Orphan Black
8. Raised by Wolves
9. Counterpart
10. Futurama
Scavengers Reign and Counterpart ended due to cancellations but have satisfying conclusions. Raised by Wolves left a lot of questions unanswered but I don’t even think it’s available to stream.

I started Orphan Black last week. Watched the first two episodes and it didn’t really grab me. Found it slow. Does it get better?

I would add Electric Dreams in there.. it only lasted one season but was pretty cool to see Philip K Dicks short stories adapted

No Star Trek?
I'll suggest you watch Silo and Foundation plus if you can find it; Y: The Last Man.
Posted on 11/13/25 at 7:23 am to SeafoodPlatter
Star Trek
Babylon 5
Deep Space 9
TNG
Firefly
The Expanse
Lost
Quantum Leap
(Severance is still in process - I can recommend without ranking.)

(Save for the very top, the rest are in general order, not a hard ranking)
The Expanse.
Firefly (1 season + 1 movie = a series, I suppose)
Doctor Who (pre current day garbage era)
*Star Trek
Battlestar Galactica
Stargate SG1
Farscape - (would be higher, but damn, honestly, there are some really goofy eps)
Foundation
Orphan Black
Man in the High Castle
Eureka
Warehouse 13
Star Trek DS9
Quantum Leap
Sliders
OG Battlestar Galactica
*What some may call 'TOS' Star Trek. I just refer to it as Star Trek.

While 'sci-fi' might be a reach, I'd have to add Angel in there as well if BTVS is to be counted. Otherwise, might as well add Supernatual, Charmed, The Originals....

I think it does. Tatiana Maslany carried that whole show with her portrayal of all the clones. I hate people associate her with She Hulk and not OB.

Dark is a clear cut number 1. That’s all I know. Been meaning to check out Fringe finally.
2. Severance
3. Fallout
4. Legion
5. Black Mirror
6. Westworld
7.Raised by wolves is in my top 10 and it’s a shame it got cancelled. That show took some risks.
Having trouble thinking of 3 to round it out.
