The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance
This fantasy series will fascinate both those obsessed with the saga after seeing the original movie back in the 80s and those who know the story for the first time.
Embodied through the astonishingly talented art of puppeteers, this series takes you back to the undiscovered universe of elf-like Gelflings overcoming their tribal differences to escape from the oppressive rule of the villainous and reptilian Skeksis.

Love, Death, and Robots
Coming from the creator of Deadpool – Tim Miller, Love, Death, and Robots is a collection of various sci-fi novellas created by different directors and storytellers. They are united with the familiar sensation of uncertainness of technological progress and its social perspectives.
Love, Death, and Robots go from incredibly violent and destructive scenes to lightweight romance and quirky humor, absorbing the viewer. Eventually, you don’t see several separate stories but start to embrace the whole concept and its message.
Stranger Things
Although we are almost sure that you have seen or at least heard of Stranger Things, we could not avoid this brilliant sci-fi horror-ish Netflix series on our list.
Being one of the trendy tributes to the 80’s aesthetics, Stranger Things is created according to the legendary aesthetics and atmosphere of Stephen King’s novel.
A governmental conspiracy, stunning special effects, and vividly unforgettable characters performed by talented actors, including Wynona Ryder – all those are Stranger Things. Add to this the soundtrack that embodies the atmosphere of Hollywood’s golden horror classics, and you will get one of the most memorable series Netflix has to offer today!
Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia
This series will be equally fun and engaging both for sci-fi enthusiasts and fans of DreamWorks animation.
This tells us the story of a boy who finds a magical amulet that turns him into a troll hunter and discovers a secret world of beasts living in shadows. This Netflix series takes us all back into childhood and that magical atmosphere of Saturday morning cartoons.
The 100
This post-apocalyptic series may only seem like another teenage saga initially. Still, throughout its plot, The 100 raises truly complicated questions about human nature and the choices we make in life.
Meant to be a bunch of guinea pigs that were supposed whether Earth is livable again after a global catastrophe, the heroes of the 100 soon enough discover themselves in the middle of a perfect storm of politics, intrigues, conspiracy, and ethical dilemma.
Snowpiercer
Another post-apocalyptic series is an advanced interpretation of the self-titled movie. When global climate change forces the Earth to freeze, one genius engineer comes up with the idea of building an eternal engine.
The concept is embodied in a massive 1000-cart train, where law and order are built according to strict social gradation between passengers that belong to different classes.
Snowpiecer is a series about technology and overcoming, the power of human intelligence, and human nature’s weakness. It is a sci-fi, romantic story, and deep social analysis simultaneously, which makes it equally engaging for viewers of different tastes.
3 REASONS WHY CHARACTER-BASED ANIMATION VIDEOS ARE POPULAR
The Flash
Those who want to dive into the world of classic superheroes and appreciate the genuine sci-fi fascination will enjoy The Flash.
This series embodies everything we love so much about CW’s superhero shows, their atmosphere, plots, and hooks. However, due to the charming cast and stunning storytelling, The Flash appears perfectly acceptable and engaging even for those who don’t consider themselves comic book fans.
The Umbrella Academy
When we talk about superhero universes, the stories of “how it all has started” are consistently among the most engaging ones.
However, while The Umbrella Academy collects numerous recognizable comic book heroes at a young age, it is still not another superhero sci-fi series. Some even call it an antidote against all the typical comic book stereotypes ground again and again in the sci-fi genre.
It has a unique atmosphere, genuine storytelling, and special effects that make it to a new level of engagement even for those who have never been fascinated with superpowers and traditionally orphaned children that embrace them.

The Witcher
On the one hand, the Witcher is a long-time anticipated screening of the legendary fantasy book. But at the same time, the series managed to keep itself away from the traditional arrogance of Games of Thrones or Lord of the Rings. Otherwise, the Witcher does not seem to take itself too seriously, filled with numerous jokes and irony.
Netflix viewers seem to love and hate The Witcher almost equally for its original reading of the classic story and approach to the genre. But no one managed to stay indifferent.
Star Trek: The Next Generation
Talking about the Sci-fi series on Netflix, we simply could not ignore the genre’s classics. Star-Trek: The Next Generation combines everything we love so much about the franchise and adds this magical 80’s atmosphere to it.
Captivating plots, iconic characters presented by legendary actors, and the idea of exploring other planets and universes, Star Track: Next Generation seems to take us back in our childhood while being as relevant today as it might have ever been before.
We can help you.
