The article argues that dystopian science fiction has become a more prominent television genre, highlighting nine series it considers outstanding. The shows use imagined crises and controlled societies to explore power, technology, inequality and survival, often blending science fiction with thrillers or drama.

The excerpt describes four of the nine: *Paradise*, about survivors in an underground bunker and the world above; *Fallout*, which follows a sheltered young woman into a dangerous post-apocalyptic wasteland; *Silo*, where a woman’s questions about life outside underground silos prompt the possibility of revolt; and *Mr. Robot*, centred on a hacker pursuing a financial reset while confronting technology and mental health.
