10 Most Perfect Sci-Fi Shows of the Last 10 Years
This Collider article ranks the ten "most perfect" science fiction television shows released over the past decade, arguing that TV has increasingly overtaken film as the primary home for ambitious sci-fi storytelling. Written by Collider contributor Michael Block, the piece highlights how these series have used extended runtimes to explore complex ideas, from galaxy-spanning political philosophy to dystopian societal structures, in ways cinema's shorter format cannot easily match.
Topping out the list at number ten is Apple TV+'s "Foundation" (2021–present), adapted from Isaac Asimov's novels and praised for balancing epic, century-spanning space opera with intimate character drama; a fourth season is already in development under new showrunners. The article's provided text is cut off before revealing entries nine through one, though it teases other series covering extraterrestrial hiveminds, a Star Wars spin-off and a dystopian tale set in a 144-storey underground silo.
