Colony
canceled, but it can still be enjoyed on Netflix, where viewers can watch a family struggle to stay together and safe after a mysterious alien invasion.
Supernatural
Supernatural has been on the air since 2005, featuring Jared Padalecki as Sam Winchester and Jensen Ackles as Dean Winchester. These brothers hunt supernatural beings, meaning that every episode is full of excitement. A fun fact is that this television series was only supposed to last three seasons, but now, it is the longest-running American live-action fantasy TV series. The fourteenth season is in full swing right now, so anyone who is behind better rush to Netflix, like, now! Plus, the two main stars are not too bad to look at... an added bonus.

Maniac
Maniac is a miniseries that premiered on Netflix in 2018, and it is based on the Norwegian television series of the same name. Well-known celebrities such as Emma Stone, Jonah Hill, Justin Theroux, and Sally Field are featured and praised, as the show received nominations for Stone's performance and for the overall writing. And the premise of the show is centered around a pharmaceutical trial, which is where two strangers meet and feel a connection. It is definitely a unique story and another one we definitely recommend checking out, whether sci-fi is a favorite genre or not.
The OA
because "Part II" is coming! What will happen next? What does it all mean? What is even happening? Hopefully, we will get some answers.

Travelers
Okay, who here is into time travel? Well, this next show is all about that, and it stars Mr. Eric McCormack, which makes it even better. Yes, Travelers is a series that was an international co-production between Netflix and the Canadian specialty channel Showcase, but after its first two seasons, Netflix took over as its sole production company and distributor. It, too, has been around since 2016, with the third season being released in December 2018, and things are just getting crazier and crazier. It can be hard to keep up (with all that, well, time travel and such), but the interesting characters help keep fans hooked.

Lost in Space
renewed for a second season, which is currently in development and will hopefully be on Netflix soon. And can we just talk about these characters? Will, Judy, and Penny are the cutest kids ever, we want a robot, and Parker Posey as June Harris is the best love-to-hate character around!
The Twilight Zone
If we are talking science fiction, we have to give a shoutout to a classic - Black Mirror, there was The Twilight Zone, and we strongly encourage everyone to go watch an episode or five.

Black Mirror
Speaking of Black Mirror... That is the next series on our list, of course! It is a British anthology television series that centers around technologies (usually dark technologies). After Black Mirror came to Netflix in December 2014, Netflix purchased the program, and the fifth series was announced in March 2018. Overall, this creepy and entertaining work has received many awards and nominations, like "San Junipero" and "USS Callister" - episodes that won a total of six Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Television Movie. Those who have not watched this series are behind...so go get busy right now!
The Haunting Of Hill House
like the ending how it is and loved the entire thing.
Stranger Things
Of course, we are including Stranger Things here, a Netflix show that we assume everyone has seen (at least all the sci-fi fans out there). Those who haven’t gotten around to watching it or who are looking for an excuse to watch it again - Here it is! It has the best characters, it has memories of the ‘80s, it has a true hero as the star, it has The Upside Down, it has menacing scientists, it has a great soundtrack, it has waffles...This is a must-see series, people, with more episodes dropping on July 4, 2019.
