What about a murder mystery with sci-fi or supernatural elements?

You've got a pretty narrow list of qualifiers, with the shows you've already seen.

I'm guessing Tales from the Loop and Undone (Amazon) were already seen?

Not a show, but a fantasy movie "Mortal" might be worth while. A low budget story with a familiar theme... NOT Marvel.

Or there's...

Oooh, how about Counterpart on Prime? JK Simmons in a cool Cold War sci-fi story.

Darn, I just looked it up, it's no longer free with Prime.

Well, I did enjoy The Gorge. But that's a movie, not a show. You seem to have already seen most of the worthwhile shows. Movies? I guess that's another matter. Unless ya maybe need stuff from a while back, like Eureka?

Tales from the Loop is pure sci-fi. Again, like Eureka, but not as cheery or light hearted. Almost like Love Death & Robots - live action? Your results may vary.

Undone is animated, and more mystical than sci-fi. Looks kinda cool, if you're into that stuff.

Really liked Gorge. Probably more movies I haven’t seen than shows.

Dublin Murders is better

Sarah Green
The guy who played Varys in GOT
Killian Scott
The guy who plays Thanos’s #1 in The Avengers movies
A couple dudes from the show Vikings
Leah McNamara (smoke show)
The setting is a character as well (Knocknaree is where it takes place)

Great show, one of the best on the old syfy network. The series, La Femme Nikita, that aired on USA network was also solid.

Are you open to old sci fi shows with great stories but maybe the shows haven't aged well cgi wise?

Babylon 5 - it's tough to get through season 1 with the cgi. Then you graduate to slightly less terrible CGI. But to me, its one of the greatest sci fiction stories told over a series. The show creator had a story to tell and told it.

Stargate SG1, Stargate Atlantis - skip whatever that last one was.

Farscape

If you are into Trek my favorite is DS9 but it is not everyone's cup of tea.

Firefly - 1 season but great.

If you haven't watched X Files it is worth a watch all the way through. Monster of the week episodes are great and I think the storyline itself is underrated and somewhat relatable to the current day views of many Americans on the federal bureaucracy.

I see you've watched Expanse and Dark - two of the best recent sci-fi shows IMO.

The Leftovers…but, not sci fi or horror…

Fire up Black Sails immediately. Get through the first two episodes and thank me after you binge that show in a week or two. You’re welcome.

More horror sci fi, Ash vs Evil Dead and Hysteria.
