With the oversupply of series and films on the renowned streaming services, you sometimes don’t even know what to watch next. In addition to thriller, drama and sitcom series, it’s worth taking a look at the providers’ growing range of science fiction from time to time
The first science fiction film was made more than 120 years ago
Whether power-hungry extraterrestrials who want to take over the world, dystopian fantasies of the future in hierarchical societies or environmental catastrophes triggered by humans themselves – there is almost nothing that does not exist. But what makes the genre so fascinating? It’s probably the strong characters – there’s usually at least one hero who must save humanity from injustice, natural disasters, or alien invasions – that are set in a reality similar to today’s world, but far more frightening.
In any case, the concept is nothing new. The science fiction hype started more than 120 years ago with the film “Journey to the Moon” by French director Georges Méliès. It was the template for numerous blockbusters such as “Star Wars”, “Alien” or “Matrix”. There are now thousands of films and hundreds of series established within the genre.
In order not to lose the overview, we have summarized the best modern science fiction series that are available to stream on Netflix, Amazon Prime and Co.
