Sci-Fi TV Show Recommendations for Nerds Like Me

What are your favorite sci-fi TV shows? A rundown of some of the new shows. What to watch for the sci-fi fans.

I love Sci-Fi TV shows. Rotten Tomatoes has a cool list of the 100 greatest Sci-Fi TV shows of all time.  I think the list is pretty awesome (it includes Logan's Run, one of my favorite 70's sci-fi movies).  It also made me remember shows I forgot about like V: The Final Battle from the 80's with Marc Singer. It's also great for farming TV shows I may have missed.

Did you ever watch Almost Human?  I never saw it but I thought I might after checking it out on Rotten Tomato.  It got an 83% rating from audiences.  The highest tomato rating went to the Battlestar Galactica reboot from 2004-2009!  I never saw that either, but I watched the heck out of the original back in the day.  With a 95% average tomato rating and 94% from the audience, this show has to have something going on.

Here are some of my Sci-Fi TV show pics. I'm using season one trailers on all so I don't hit any spoilers for those that haven't seen the shows.

Some people can't get into this show but I can't get enough of it! The Boys has juicy flawed characters, tons of action and so many scenes that leave me with my jaw hanging open.  I think they've done a great job with character development and every season has been strong.  Also, one of the lead characters, Hughie, is played by Dennis Quaid's son, Jack Quaid.

There's also a spinoff series called Gen V that follows sup-kids to college and things are sup...er messed up there too. I enjoyed this series too.

WARNING: The show(s) does/do have a good share of adult content. Jack Quaid asked his parents not to watch the show because it is so naughty.  Here's the season one trailer... which also has language and content issues. (Prime)

Again, juicy characters and strong development.  Stranger Things has done a wonderful job with plot evolution too.  They split season four into two pieces.  At the end of the first set of episodes, I was mind-blown at how well they had brought the whole thing full circle. Truly one of my favorite Sci-Fi TV shows.

Questions that I didn't know I had were answered. Truly impressive. But then MORE questions and an insane wait for season 5 is finally over when the first four episodes are released on November26th. Here's info on season 5, the final season.

Stranger Things isn't for young viewers, but I do know a lot of families with older kids that watched this show together. Here's the season one trailer.  In case you haven't seen the show, I didn't want to risk any spoilers. (Netflix)
