    Other SciFi Sagas

    Over the last several years I've watched:
    Star Trek Original / Next Gen / Voyager / DS9 / Enterprise
    Farscape
    Babylon 5 / Crusade
    Battlestar Galactica 1980's / 2000's / Caprica
    Defiance
    Andromeda
    Twilight Zone Original / 2000's
    7 Days
    Buck Rogers
    Almost Human
    Ascension
    Lost Room
    Carnivale

    I tried but didn't like:
    Dr Who
    Red Dwarf

    Now I'm finally working my way through:
    Stargate SG-1 / Atlantis / Universe / Infinity

    And I have the following sets ready to watch:
    The 4400
    Threshold
    Jericho

    What other SciFi shows are worth seeing that I should check into?

    You might give Firefly (and Serenity, the feature lenght movie that wraps it up) a go. It's essentially a story of cowboys in space, but it has some of the humor that characterizes SG-1 and Farscape too.

        Is your definition of scifi strictly "in space" or future earth?

          The Expanse
          12 Monkeys
          Orphan Black
          Black Mirror
          Humans

          Marginally sci-fi: Person of Interest

          Not sci-fi, but should appeal to sci-fi fans: Mr. Robot

              But stop after Season One.

                Wow. Thanks everyone for all the great tips! I usually wait until a show has stopped before I begin watching it. I like to buy the complete series boxset and just burn through it from beginning to end. Sometimes I'll watch a season at a time - after the season is completed. But I don't enjoy watching a show when it is broken apart by commercials thrown into your mind, and then you have to wait a week for the next piece of story.

                Expanse - Saw Season 1 through On Demand a week or so after it first aired. Very good show.
                Firefly / Serenity - Absolutely loved it and hated that it ended way too soon.
                Heroes- Everyone tells me to watch this and that only the 1st season is good.
                Orphan Black - Saw the Season 1 premier on TV and thought it was interesting.

                The rest: 12 Monkeys, Black Mirror, Dark Matter, Dollhouse, Fringe, Humans, Mr Robot, Person of Interest - have been added to my list. Thanks again, everyone.

                I also plan to checkout The Flash, The Arrow, Supergirl, and DC Legends Of Tomorrow when those are completed and boxset'ed.


                @Gatefan1976, my definition of SciFi isn't too strict. (Most SciFi is just Drama with a SciFi backdrop.) What are you thinking about?

                  Well, you already mentioned superhero stuff, and that is what I was angling at.
                  One not mentioned yet is Dark Angel, that was pretty good.

                        Re: Person of Interest - it's almost complete. Season 5 is the last, it's just 13 eps, and there are just 5 more to go. All the other seasons are out on DVD, so you could start anytime, since S5 should be out very soon.

                            Thanks again for all of the great show tips! I bought the boxsets of Fringe and Dollhouse today.

                            I thought Lexx was going to be about Superman, but after researching it, it seems like a very funny show.
