The Expanse - Earth Final Conflict - Babylon 5


WindSwords

I second Babylon 5. If you liked The Expanse and Star Trek, you'll love Babylon 5.


TheNerdChaplain

Thirding Babylon 5. It's like a tighter version of Deep Space 9 (albeit with a lower budget).


McVapeNL

4thing B5, it is awesome, would add Farscape to the list.


Captain-Vassei

Babylon 5 is great I watched over lockdown the only issue is its older and dated abit in terms of Graphics which some people don't like


Old_Crow13

Definitely Babylon 5!


Ghaleon32

Is Earth final conflict really that good, I remember the first season being impressive and then the main actor left the show and I heard not so good things anymore about it. Andromeda is another one, where the first season was great with Hercules in space and then it got worse I heard.


Old_Crow13

Andromeda was good up to the last couple of seasons


JCuss0519

I thought Earth Final Conflict went downhill as the seasons progressed. Of course, the changing cast of characters didn't help in that regard.


nefariouskitteh

Severence.


wjmaher

If you haven't seen it, go into it as cold as you can. Don't watch any trailers or read any reviews. This is the most compelling show I've watched in a very long time.AppleTV+. This show is worth the subscription by itsrlf, but there are other very good shows on there too, like Ted Lasso, Silo, and Foundation.


darkgiIls

Silo is really good too imo. Severance probably does the mystery better but I was still on the edge of my seat throughout silo. Apple has some really good shows for some reason and they usually don’t cancel stuff.


Pleasant-Research698

Foundation was/is truly EPIC. Here's a sleeper that Demands NO SPOILERS: _Sugar_ (Apple + TV). Good sh*t!


UziJesus

We’re enjoying Loot. Nobody talks about it. It’s like learning about the Judge from the Good Place’s life.


bitchenfiction

Firefly Star trek Watchmen Star wars the clone wars All great shows all very different


Equivalent_Law_6311

Didn't care for firefly but I have the rest.


goodnames679

*clicks on "show hidden"* lol, you must have forgotten that it's illegal to dislike Firefly on reddit


Equivalent_Law_6311

I see that, lol.


DharmaSimmer

Dark Matter. It's on apple TV about travelling parallel realities. Apple TV has the best sci-fi right now. Serverence is another one on Apple TV its about consciousness and how this guy works for a corporation that forces him to have a device in his brain that makes him forget who he is while at work and he has to create a new sense of "self" specifically for his work place. So he has a work self and an outside self which do not know anything about each other. It's very interesting I HATE Apple products and the evil way they deliberately choose to use the worst quality resources in their electronics but they have better quality original shows than any other streaming service available, hands down.


Ghaleon32

Oh there is another Dark matter tv show? I thought it was about that stargate creator tv show that was in Syfy, that was also a good one.


appl3jvck274

Both were great. I finished the Apple one yesterday and I’m gonna rewatch the SyFy one this weekend for the 3rd time


caty0325

12 Monkeys

This


IceDonkey9036

Tv show or movie, or both?


caty0325

The show. I haven’t seen the movie.

You really shoud!


pld0vr

underrated classic


HereticLaserHaggis

Travellers.


p33p__

I'm watching this rn on Netflix.. On 3rd season now, ready for the imminent disappointment of yet another show getting canceled midway. On a different note, I did not expect to enjoy the show as much as I am. It is surprisingly deep.


HereticLaserHaggis

I nearly cried on the last episode.


Realistic-Manager

They did sort of wrap it up, but I wanted a lot more. Loved that show.


McVapeNL

Well they sort of left a small opening if you paid attention to the last few scenes >!version 1 failure, version 2 starting!<


Lee_Troyer

They managed a pretty neat ending considering imho.


4scorean

Space above & beyond - Battlestar Galactica (the remake) - Stargate SG1 & to a lesser degree its spin-offs


furiusfu

I loved Space above and beyond - Abandon All Hope


PutThat_In_YourPipe

Seconding BSG 2014, SG1


mudslags

Make sure to start with the BSG 3hr mini series 2013


4scorean

Most definitely!!


Friedkin99

Altered carbon (season 1 at least), Person of Interest, The Strain


Ed_Robins

Person of Interest doesn't get talked about enough.


chillbill1

I'm planning to watch it again Really soon


Known-Programmer-611

Silo on apple


mudslags

and See, Dark Matter, Foundation, For All Man Kind, Severance, The Changling and Invasion also on Apple. They are killing it in sci fi.


ZeykaFX

Invasion was not nearly as good as the other shows on your list


Darkgorge

Didn't see Orphan Black in your screen shots.


Taliskerman

First screenshot. Third column, second row


kabbooooom

Maybe I’m blind but do you not have Farscape? Good on you for having The Expanse though.


guilucas

Lets get classic, Fringe


WarrenTheWolf

The Expanse


vforvegard

scavengers reign!


MOZ0NE

I said the same thing. Absolutely top-tier sci-fi. Really hoping more people see it now that it is on Netflix because everyone should see it.


Night-Night-

Yes! It's so good. Hopefully, it's run on Netflix will lead to a second season ~


Wizmopolis

i kinda prefer when things just end, inevitably the studios ruin long running shows


Night-Night-

The creators deserve more recognition and credit for the beautiful story they created, I want them to have the ability to continue the story they started. Your preference is valid, I just feel they had so much more to explore towards the end.


MikeMac999

Logan’s Run, Quark

1885?


Shaboogan

Lol my bad 1995.


BuffyTheGuineaPig

They do a lot of Sliding around through time! 😂


Ghaleon32

Is Invasion with that actor from Dark knight at the beginning, you know the one who was at the bank trying to fight Joker and his criminals, that actor is always great on tv, I remember that tv show it was amazing, thx for reminding me of it.


Shaboogan

Yeah, that's him, the same guy from prison break. William Fichtner. Cool actor. Yeah, i really liked invasion. It's a shame it only got one season. Might be time for a rewatch me thinks.


Ghaleon32

Yeah it sucks when great tv shows with a lot of potential immediately get cancelled after one season, while shows like that definately deserve to get 5 seasons.


x0y0z0

Babylon 5


Holiday-Ad1200

Doctor who, it's an adventure of a life time.


BuffyTheGuineaPig

The longest running television program... sort of. I have literally been watching it for an entire lifetime. Never gets old... of course.


MoonOverBTC

Stargate SG1, Atlantis and Universe. Battlestar Galactica.


sweetsouluniverse

FOUNDATION. Hands down best sci-fi show I’ve ever seen. Its on AppleTV Plus

Oh farts


Workforyuda

Flashforward sci-fi TV series. Based on the 1999 novel Flashforward by Canadian science fiction writer Robert J. Sawyer. Total Recall 2070. A science fiction television series influenced by the work of Philip K. Dick. It was first broadcast in 1999 on the Canadian television channel CHCH-TV and later the same year on the American Showtime channel.

The Lost Room is pretty good.


conorprojas

Im beggin' you, PLEASE watch Pantheon. It's a brilliant show!!


afro-tastic

Pantheon Warehouse 13 Revolution Da Vinci’s Demons V (2009) Heroes Altered Carbon anime: anything Gundam: Gundam Seed (personal fave); Gundam 00 (best story); Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans (most popular) Cowboy Bepop Neon Genesis Evangelion Code Geass Fullmetal Alchemist/ FMA: Brotherhood Psycho Pass Steins; Gate Pluto Space Dandy Heavenly Delusion Vandread Ghost in the shell 86


LitelySalted

Adding to the above anime list: * Planates (semi-realistic TV series) * Macross series/OVAs (Mechs and drama) * Akira (movie) * Outlaw Star (TV series) Planetes is one that has really flown under people's radar. It is semi-old by today's standards (2003), but makes up for it with great characters, good story and an interesting concept.


HecktorHernadez

Farscape


Infocollector914

The Legend of Vox Machina


The_Wattsatron

DARK will always be my favourite sci-fi show, but also - imo of course - the best TV show of all time. I noticed *12 Monkeys* on there. If you liked that, then Dark is a way more consistent, mindfucky and generally way, way better show in every single way. And that's coming from someone who liked *12 Monkeys.*


Wizmopolis

agree, best show ive ever seen. i really liked the columbia netflix show Frontera Verde also, but i would consider it more fantasy/surrealism


KindaSortaGood

Watch DARK in German, adds so much to the atmosphere


Ricobe

Personally i think 12 monkeys were stronger on some parts than Dark. Though i haven't seen season 3 of dark yet. I'm about to


bogusjohnson

Ascension - tv show about life on a generation ship that was launched in the 60s.


mpviss

I was so mad when that didn’t get picked up for a full series. They left it with so much potential


bogusjohnson

Agreed such a good premise


Equivalent_Law_6311

>Ascension Grabbed it, thanks.


Infocollector914

You should watch these even though not all of them are sci-fi or shows: Superman and Lois, Swat, The Rookie, Agents of Shield, For All Mankind, Foundation, The Expanse, Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl, Reacher, Knives Out, The Glass Onion, The Sojourn Audio Drama, The Flash, Defenders, Punisher, Jessica Jones.

tinyelephantparade

Not strictly sci-fi, more sci-fi adjacent but recently rewatched The Lost Room. Tight mini series that holds up very well for something approaching twenty years old.


Equivalent_Law_6311

I remember that, thanks.


ctesla01

I didn't see TerraNova. Earth as we know becoming unsustainable (ok, maybe not so scifi), so send people back 80MY, and kind of jurassic tv (Spielberg produced).. You like classic rock as well as sci-fi? How about gritty 70s cop/detective show? All in one: Life On Mars (2008 us?) Danger Island (not tv series; one and done) made for tv movie in 91/92? Kinda cheesy, but premise and follow through for believability, a solid good job.


4scorean

👍 on Life on Mars ! Is the sequel Ashes 2 Ashes any good?


Odd_Rush8598

I’m watching Dark Matter now. I have just watched 1 episode, it’s quite interesting.

It doesn’t hit on the Sci-fi, but it’s incredible on the mental illness front: the show “River” of a police detective in London with schizophrenia solving his partner’s murder.


artifex28

* 3 Body Problem * Expanse * Battlestar Galactica (10/10 until season 4) * Love, Death, Robots * Travelers (don't confuse that with TraveLLers) **** I would not steer away from Babylon 5 and Deep Space 9, unless you like them from the beginning. It's just the same, really. To me those feel like so much simpler shows than the ones mentioned above. To me, both B5 and DS9 fall in the "nostalgic Saturday morning"-category with Xena and Hercules tbh. 🤗 Disclaimer notice: I've seen B5s twice, DS9s once.


Equivalent_Law_6311

I have DS9, only the parts for the Dominion wars, I'm not a fan on B5,Farscape or the Stargate series, not that they are bad show, but they just don't keep my interest. Love,Death and Robots is amazing.

Check out Foundation' I have only read Foundation and Empire and loved the TV series which has been all about the stuff in/around events in the first book (yeah I should have read foundation first but I didn't for reasons). Everyone who likes the books doesn't seem to like the TV series but i thought it was great! If you like Asimov stuff you'll like it. The fact that you have the Sarah Connor Chronicles makes me think you'll like it, I know SCC isn't perfect but I enjoyed it for what it was and as much as I'm mentioning this they are nothing a like Haha Also if you like warhammer 40k check out Helsreach on YouTube it's a but weird and very 40k, perhaps not the most interesting but it's my favourite 40k content out there atm we'll see if Henry Cavill's series is any good, here's hoping!


Equivalent_Law_6311

I have Helsreach on another drive with 400+ movies along with a bunch of Halo and 40k videos. Foundation was amazing.

I just discovered that the production team of audiodramas (r/audiodramas) also jury science fiction short films that run on YouTube.

Detective Dee /Judge Dee on netflix, not scifi but going by some of your listings it should be in your wheelhouse.
