10 Sci-Fi Shows on Netflix Where Every Episode is a Masterpiece

Polygon has put together a list of sci-fi shows on Netflix that stay strong from start to finish, avoiding the mid-series slumps that afflict programmes like The Walking Dead, Lost and Stranger Things. The piece highlights ten such series, praising each for maintaining quality and inventive premises throughout their runs rather than fading after a strong start.

Among the shows highlighted are 11.22.63, an eight-episode miniseries starring James Franco as a teacher who travels back in time to prevent JFK's assassination; Maniac, a ten-episode Netflix original with Jonah Hill and Emma Stone as strangers undergoing an experimental drug trial that sends them into shared fantasies; Bodies, an eight-episode adaptation of a DC graphic novel following the same murder investigated across four different eras in London; and two live-action adaptations of The Tick, a superhero parody franchise dating back to the 1980s, the first of which starred Patrick Warburton and ran for nine episodes before cancellation.
