- CreatorSydney NewmanStarsJodie WhittakerPeter CapaldiPearl MackieThe further adventures in time and space of the alien adventurer known as the Doctor and his companions from planet Earth.The 9th Doctor and Rose!! The 10th Doctor and Rose!!!! The 11th Doctor and Pond!!! The 12th Doctor and the whiny girl! Oh wait those numbers have changed.
8/10 - CreatorRobert C. CooperBrad WrightStarsRobert CarlyleLouis FerreiraBrian J. SmithTrapped on an Ancient spaceship billions of light-years from home, a group of soldiers and civilians struggle to survive and find their way back to Earth.This was both the best and the worst Stargate. The best setup. I like serious sci-fi. This could be seriously dark.
8/10 - CreatorKenneth JohnsonScott PetersStarsElizabeth MitchellMorris ChestnutJoel GretschAn extraterrestrial race arrives on Earth with seemingly good intentions, only to slowly reveal their true machinations the more ingrained into society they become.This was as good of a remake as Battlestar Galactica. It had a great cast. Morena Baccarin is both beautiful and terrifying. The series ended on a giant cliffhanger.
8/10 - CreatorBryan FullerAlex KurtzmanStarsSonequa Martin-GreenAnthony RappDoug JonesTen years before Kirk, Spock, and the Enterprise, the USS Discovery discovers new worlds and lifeforms as one Starfleet officer learns to understand all things alien.I haven't made up my mind yet. The new Klingon look sucks. They changed it just because. The first 2 episodes were fairly weak but the next 2 were fairly strong. If this whole thing turns out to be a Section 31 endeavor that will be cool.
- CreatorRussell T. DaviesStarsJohn BarrowmanEve MylesKai OwenThe members of the Torchwood Institute, a secret organization founded by the British Crown, fight to protect the Earth from extraterrestrial and supernatural threats.More adult than Doctor Who. Darker storylines. Everyone loves Capt. Jack.
8/10 - CreatorJ.J. AbramsAlex KurtzmanRoberto OrciStarsAnna TorvJoshua JacksonJohn NobleAn F.B.I. agent is forced to work with an institutionalized scientist and his son in order to rationalize a brewing storm of unexplained phenomena.The first 4 seasons were great sci-fi. Dr. Bishop is one of the greatest TV characters of all time.
- CreatorJosh FriedmanStarsLena HeadeyThomas DekkerSummer GlauSet after the events in Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), Sarah Connor and her son, John, try to stay under-the-radar from the government, as they plot to destroy the computer network, Skynet, in hopes of preventing Armageddon.Better than all the Terminator movies put together. Including the one that hasn't come out yet. (Update) The new terminator movie has now come out and this is still way better. (Update again) There's another new Terminator movie coming out and I bet the show will still be better.
9/10 - CreatorLisa JoyJonathan NolanStarsEvan Rachel WoodJeffrey WrightEd HarrisAt the intersection of the near future and the reimagined past, waits a world in which every human appetite can be indulged without consequence.Great cast (Anthony Hopkins, Ed Harris and the creepy Cyclops dude). A strong start. Another look at the human condition and humanity using our robot creations. I wonder if we ever do create something along these lines if we will have learned from all the TV and movies or will we make those same mistakes anyway.
- CreatorJonathan GlassnerBrad WrightStarsRichard Dean AndersonMichael ShanksAmanda TappingA secret military team, SG-1, is formed to explore other planets through the recently discovered Stargates.An Icon of Scifi and one of it's most successful members. It took ideas from the movie and expanded them in every direction. Maybe the best serialized show in the genre, with multi season plot arcs. We got to see each of the characters grow and develop over 10 seasons, 2 movies, and 2 spinoffs.
9/10 - CreatorGene RoddenberryStarsPatrick StewartBrent SpinerJonathan FrakesSet almost 100 years after Captain Kirk's 5-year mission, a new generation of Starfleet officers sets off in the U.S.S. Enterprise-D on its own mission to go where no one has gone before.It went where no one has went before. Again! They managed to recreate the Star Trek feel with a Captain that was completely different from Kirk. Absolutely the best of the newer Star Trek.
9/10 - CreatorRick BermanMichael PillerStarsAvery BrooksRene AuberjonoisCirroc LoftonIn the vicinity of the liberated planet of Bajor, the Federation space station Deep Space Nine guards the opening of a stable wormhole to the far side of the galaxy.Dark, and gritty. More war and death. The best Klingons. Sisko did things that no other Captain had the balls to do. Absolutely the best of the newer Star Trek.
9/10 - CreatorRick BermanMichael PillerJeri TaylorStarsKate MulgrewRobert BeltranRoxann DawsonPulled to the far side of the galaxy, where the Federation is seventy-five years away at maximum warp speed, a Starfleet ship must cooperate with Maquis rebels to find a way home.It has more of the "wagon in the western frontier" feel that Gene wanted than the others. More time travel. More Borg. A better Borg Queen than the movies (and it's own finale) and the King of Jordan. Absolutely the best of the newer Star Trek.
9/10 - CreatorRick BermanBrannon BragaStarsScott BakulaJohn BillingsleyJolene BlalockA century before Captain Kirk's five-year mission, Jonathan Archer captains the United Earth ship Enterprise during the early years of Starfleet, leading up to the Earth-Romulan War and the formation of the Federation.Judged way to harshly and not given the credit it should have gotten. It did a better job exploring Vulcan than ever before. Absolutely the best of the newer Star Trek.
8/10 - CreatorGene RoddenberryStarsWilliam ShatnerLeonard NimoyDeForest KelleyIn the 23rd Century, Captain James T. Kirk and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise explore the galaxy and defend the United Federation of Planets.It created the best written, most well thought out scifi universe on TV or film. At least until "Star Trek: Into Darkness" dropped a turd in the punch bowl.
9/10 - CreatorAlfred GoughMiles MillarStarsTom WellingMichael RosenbaumAllison MackA young Clark Kent struggles to find his place in the world as he learns to harness his alien powers for good and deals with the typical troubles of teenage life in Smallville, Kansas.The most successful superhero TV. It has some great unique characters. It also is a better origin story for Superman than ever conceived of before. Still the Clark and Lex relationship is outstanding.
8/10 - CreatorTim KringStarsJack ColemanHayden PanettiereMilo VentimigliaCommon people discover that they have super powers. Their lives intertwine as a devastating event must be prevented.One of the best first seasons of any show. It was the writers strike that threw them off a bit.
9/10 - CreatorMichael KarnowZak PennStarsDavid StrathairnRyan CartwrightWarren ChristieAlphas is a science fiction drama focusing on a team that investigates people with supernatural abilities.A smart, realistic hero show. This show had some very interesting powers. This was an adult superhero show. It ended before it's time on a massive sucky cliffhanger.
9/10 - CreatorJoss WhedonStarsEliza DushkuHarry LennixFran KranzA top secret organization erases the identities of attractive young people, turning them into blank "dolls" ready for imprints of temporary identities they need to fulfill assignments for clients.I think this is the most intelligent and unique Joss Whedon show. This show might not have the cultural impact that Buffy had but it's clever and written for adults.
9/10 - CreatorBrad WrightStarsEric McCormackMacKenzie PorterNesta CooperHundreds of years from now, surviving humans discover how to send consciousness back through time, into people of the 21st century, while attempting to change the path of humanity.Another interesting take on time travel. More character driven than tech.
- CreatorSimon BarryStarsRachel NicholsVictor WebsterErik KnudsenA detective from the year 2077 finds herself trapped in present-day Vancouver and searching for ruthless criminals from the future.The best scifi show in years. At least the first season. I thought the ending was a little soft.
9/10 - CreatorRobert C. CooperBrad WrightStarsJoe FlaniganRachel LuttrellDavid HewlettAn international team of scientists and military personnel discover a Stargate network in the Pegasus Galaxy and come face-to-face with a new, powerful enemy: The Wraith.Some really good concepts. They even had 1 or 2 replicator episodes I didn't hate. The Wraith were a great bad guy.
8/10 - CreatorGreg BerlantiMarc GuggenheimAndrew KreisbergStarsStephen AmellKatie CassidyDavid RamseySpoiled billionaire playboy Oliver Queen is missing and presumed dead when his yacht is lost at sea. He returns five years later a changed man, determined to clean up the city as a hooded vigilante armed with a bow.This show is responsible for the current state of Superhero TV. Amell was a bit stiff to start with but got better as the show went on.
8/10 - CreatorGreg BerlantiGeoff JohnsAndrew KreisbergStarsGrant GustinCandice PattonDanielle PanabakerAfter being struck by lightning, Barry Allen wakes up from his coma to discover he's been given the power of super speed, becoming the Flash, and fighting crime in Central City.Well done and well liked for a CW show. The Flash also had a bumpy start in my opinion but really pulled everything together.
8/10 - CreatorGreg BerlantiMarc GuggenheimPhil KlemmerStarsCaity LotzAmy Louise PembertonDominic PurcellTime-traveling rogue Rip Hunter must recruit a ragtag team of heroes and villains to help prevent an apocalypse that could impact not only Earth, but all of time.This show is all over the place. Sometimes it's a 8. Sometimes it's a 6 (or a 5).
- CreatorMaurissa TancharoenJed WhedonJoss WhedonStarsClark GreggMing-Na WenBrett DaltonThe missions of the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division.My person favorite of the broadcast hero shows. The best character development for all the main characters. Storylines that are better written and more complex. Tied in with the MCU. Coulson, Skye (Daisy Johnson), and Deathlok.
8/10 - CreatorChristopher MarkusStephen McFeelyStarsHayley AtwellJames D'ArcyEnver GjokajIn 1946, Peggy Carter is relegated to secretarial duties in the Strategic Scientific Reserve (SSR). When Howard Stark is accused of treason, he secretly recruits Peggy to clear his name with the help of his butler, Edwin Jarvis.A good period/hero show with a kickass female lead. A great accent.
8/10 - CreatorDrew GoddardStarsCharlie CoxVincent D'OnofrioDeborah Ann WollA blind lawyer by day, vigilante by night. Matt Murdock fights the crime of New York as Daredevil.This is a new addition and only barely sci-fi but the other hero shows are here.
This was amazing. It's a very well done. True to the character but with a much closer and more personal feel than the other superhero shows.
9/10 - CreatorMelissa RosenbergStarsKrysten RitterRachael TaylorEka DarvilleFollowing the tragic end of her brief superhero career, Jessica Jones tries to rebuild her life as a private investigator, dealing with cases involving people with remarkable abilities in New York City.Completely different but just as amazing as Daredevil. This was less superhero and more detective. Both the hero and the bad guy were perfectly cast. Unlike the comic (which was great) this will bring Jessica to main stream attention.
9/10 - CreatorAli AdlerGreg BerlantiAndrew KreisbergStarsMelissa BenoistChyler LeighDavid HarewoodThe adventures of Superman's cousin and her own superhero career.The first season was to light and fluffy. The second season was a little crustier. The third season has been better than the rest of the Arrowverses current seasons.
- CreatorBruno HellerStarsBen McKenzieJada Pinkett SmithDonal LogueThe story behind Detective James Gordon's rise to prominence in Gotham City in the years before Batman's arrival.Brat Wayne.
- CreatorRussell T. DaviesStarsElisabeth SladenDaniel AnthonyAlexander ArmstrongInvestigative journalist Sarah Jane Smith, with the help of her adopted son, his friends, and an intelligent supercomputer, combats evil alien forces here on Earth.Less adult than Doctor Who but still good. Sarah Jane one of the all time best companions (RIP). A good show to watch in tandem with Doctor Who.
7/10 - CreatorKim CoghillAndrew De AngelisJeff DetskyStarsTatiana MaslanyDylan BruceJordan GavarisA streetwise hustler is pulled into a compelling conspiracy after witnessing the suicide of a girl who looks just like her.Quirky and unique. Fun new scifi. The best show the BBC America has made. Tatiana Maslany does a great job with a half a dozen different clone characters. Really good effects.
9/10 - CreatorEric KripkeStarsBilly BurkeTracy SpiridakosGiancarlo EspositoFifteen years after a permanent global blackout, a group of revolutionaries seek to drive out a tyrannical militia that's taken over the former United States of America.A good scifi show a victim of a slow start. By the time the show really got going it was to late. Season 2 was better than season 1 but it could never get back the viewers the pilot had.
8/10 - CreatorHoward OvermanStarsNathan Stewart-JarrettJoe GilgunIwan RheonA group of young offenders doing community service gets struck by lightning during a storm and start to develop superpowers.Absolutely the strangest and most completely different superhero show ever made. The characters changed over the seasons but the original group was best. There are time this is so funny you will blow beverage out of your nose.
7/10 - CreatorJames CameronCharles H. EgleeStarsJessica AlbaMichael WeatherlyRichard GunnA group of genetically-enhanced children escape from a lab project. Years later we meet Max, one of the escapees who now works for a messenger service in the post-apocalyptic Pacific Northwest.Fantastic show with one of the hottest heroes who can actually act. The problem with the show was timing. The theme about a terrorist attack on the US just could never make it past 911.
8/10 - CreatorDan BerendsenStarsSkyler SamuelsGracie GillamKi Hong LeeA girl with special cat-like powers is being hunted by an assassin.Second best show ABC Family has made behind Kyle XY. It only got one season, which is a shame. This is one of the times the TV show was better than the books.
9/10 - CreatorNick WautersStarsJason RitterSarah RoemerIan Anthony DaleWhen a man goes looking for his missing girlfriend, he stumbles upon a government conspiracy that is bigger than the President himself.A big budget. Jason Ritter. A alien based cover up that would make the X-Files proud.
- CreatorBrannon BragaDavid S. GoyerStarsCourtney B. VanceJoseph FiennesJack DavenportA special task force in the FBI investigates after every person on Earth simultaneously blacks out and awakens with a short vision of their future.I really like this show. I thought it had great potential. The opening few minutes of the pilot were spectacular. Each persons struggle to deal with what they had seen during their flash gave it real grit.
- CreatorKenneth JohnsonStarsMarc SingerFaye GrantMichael IronsideA year after Liberation Day, courtesy of the red-dust bacteria, the humanoid, lizard-like aliens develop a resistance to the micro-organism and try to regain control of the Earth--only now, some humans are knowingly working with them.A great Sci-Fi show at a time where there was very little. Great concept. Well done special effects for the time and the Beast Master dude.
7/10 - CreatorGreg BerlantiJon Harmon FeldmanStarsMichael ChiklisJulie BenzKay PanabakerThe Powells are a typical American family living in Pacific Bay, California, whose members gain special powers after their plane crashes in the Amazon.The best superhero show only to get one season. Great powers, a fantastic cast. Good character development and storyline. All that and still family friendly. As much as I like the other currently running hero shows, I would drop one for this.
9/10 - CreatorChris FedakJosh SchwartzStarsZachary LeviYvonne StrahovskiJoshua GomezWhen a computer geek inadvertently downloads critical government secrets into his brain, both the CIA and the NSA assign an agent to protect him and exploit his newfound skills.Canceled and revived not once but twice. A comedy, action, sci-fi with a great premise. One of my favorites all the way up till the last season. The ended was so egregious that I've never been able to watch it again.
7/10 - CreatorTim HainesAdrian HodgesStarsAndrew Lee PottsHannah SpearrittBen MillerWhen strange anomalies start to appear all over England, Professor Cutter and his team must track down and capture all sorts of dangerous prehistoric creatures from Earth's distant past and near future.An interesting and original show themed around time travel. The show got more and more complex as each season passed.
7/10 - CreatorGillian HorvathGarfield Reeves-StevensJudith Reeves-StevensStarsNiall MatterSara CanningDanny RahimCanadian spin-off of Primeval (2007). A new team of scientists from the Cross Photonics company in Vancouver track down dangerous creatures emerging through anomalies in time.A Canadian spinoff of the UK original. It started slow and lost it viewers before it really hit it stride. It could have used more appearances of the crossover character.
6/10 - CreatorSilvio HortaStarsChristopher GorhamPhilip Anthony-RodriguezJudith ScottNSA computer technician Jake Foley is transformed into a secret agent after he is accidentally infected with nanobots, based on nanotechnology that reduce the size of a computer to the molecular level, which give him superhuman powers.Chuck 1.0. I liked it because it was less silly than Chuck.
7/10 - CreatorSherri Cooper-LandsmanRon KoslowJennifer LevinStarsKristin KreukJay RyanNina LisandrelloA beautiful detective falls in love with an ex-soldier who goes into hiding from the secret government organization that turned him into a mechanically charged beast.This version of B&B is firmly in the Sci-Fi zone. The idea behind it was great. The relationship between the main characters was often annoying.
6.5/10 but I rounded up. - CreatorRon KoslowStarsRon PerlmanRoy DotriceJay AcovoneThe adventures and romance of a sensitive and cultured lion-man and a crusading assistant district attorney in Manhattan, New York City.Ron Perlman and Sara Conners before she really buffed up for T2. I include this even though it's close to the fantasy line.
7/10 - CreatorShaun CassidyStarsWilliam FichtnerEddie CibrianKari MatchettA Florida Park Ranger and his family deal with strange occurrences in the aftermath of a hurricane.One of the 3 underappreciated and wrongfully canceled Sci-Fi shows of 2005. My opinion is that this show had the misfortune of being hurricane themed and was killed by Katrina's impact.
8/10 - CreatorJonas PateJosh PateStarsLake BellJay R. FergusonCarter JenkinsA marine biologist, an insurance salesman and a teen-aged boy find their lives fundamentally changed by the emergence of a new, and often dangerous, species of sea life, while government agents work to keep the affair under wraps.Number 2 of the 3 of the canceled 2005 Sci-Fi shows. This was slightly more family friendly than the others. It had a Gremlins feel to it. Probably the best season finale of the 3.
8/10 - CreatorBragi F. SchutStarsCarla GuginoBrian Van HoltBrent SpinerA team of experts are assembled after the U.S. Navy discovers an extra-terrestrial object briefly appeared near a ship in the Atlantic Ocean.Number 3 0f the 2005 Sci-Fi trilogy. Darker. Secret government protocols. And it had Peter Dinklage.
8/10 - CreatorKyle KillenStarsJason IsaacsLaura AllenSteve HarrisAfter a car accident takes the life of a family member, a police detective lives two alternating parallel lives, one with his wife and one with his son. Is one of his "realities" merely a dream?A man living in 2 simultaneous timelines. Unique, well acted. To complex for the masses.
8/10 - CreatorPaul ZbyszewskiStarsTaye DiggsMoon BloodgoodVictoria PrattToday Detective Brett Hopper will be accused of shooting state attorney Alberto Garza. He will offer his rock solid alibi. He will realize he's been framed. And he will run. Then he will wake up and start the day over again.Taye Diggs's best work. Stuck in the worst day of his life. Forced to try to fix this Groundhog Day hell.
8/10 - CreatorBrandon CampMike ThompsonStarsDominic PurcellJayne BrookJohn Marshall JonesA man who seems to know everything but his own name helps police solve crimes as he searches for his identity.A man who knows everything except who he is and were he came from.
7/10 - CreatorEric BressJ. Mackye GruberStarsMatt DallasMarguerite MacIntyreBruce ThomasA family takes in a formerly institutionalized teen savant who is missing standard human behaviors such as anger, joy, and love.Maybe the best show ABC Family has ever done. It really needed another season. A boy is found with no knowledge of who he is. Clones, conspiracies and superpowers.
8/10 - CreatorRobert RodatStarsNoah WyleDrew RoyMaxim KnightSurvivors of an alien attack on earth gather together to fight for their lives and fight back.A terrific, post apocalyptic, war against the alien Overlords show. Great characters and big sets. Tom Mason a history teacher leads the efforts to retake our planet (even though he's not really in charge) while using lessons from out past to win our future.
8/10 - CreatorDamian KindlerStarsAmanda TappingRobin DunneChristopher HeyerdahlModern society's evolution involves stem cells, gene therapy, transplants, and cloning, but also exposes the existence of monsters that hold the key to our race's future.Started as a web series that was so popular SyFy made it a real series. Most of the main set was all CGI. Plus it's Amanda Tapping.
7/10 - CreatorJane EspensonD. Brent MoteStarsEddie McClintockJoanne KellySaul RubinekPete and Myka, U.S Secret Service agents, are deployed in South Dakota's Warehouse 13 with a new assignment from an authority above and outside the government.What if the giant warehouse at the end of Indiana Jones (where they put the arc) really existed? That's this show. A lot of great ideas and some great characters. Sometimes to silly for my tastes.
7/10 - CreatorMichael AmoSam EganStarsCraig OlejnikEnnis EsmerLauren Lee SmithA young paramedic discovers he has telepathic powers.
- CreatorAndrew CosbyJaime PagliaStarsColin FergusonSalli Richardson-WhitfieldErica CerraA U.S. Marshal becomes the sheriff of Eureka, a remote, cozy little Northwestern town where the best minds in the US have secretly been tucked away to build futuristic inventions for the government which often go disastrously wrong.
