The Best Sci-Fi Shows to Watch on Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu Right Now

Paramore’s Hayley Williams is releasing her new album PETALS FOR ARMOR on May 8. She’s already shared the first part of the album and a new song called “Roses/Lotus/Violet/Iris” (featuring backing vocals from boygenius). Today (April 2), she’s back with another new track. Listen to “Over Yet” below.

This might come as a bit of a surprise to some of you (though perhaps not if you're reading this), but there are a lot more fantasy programs out there than just HBO's Game of Thronesand Netflix's The Witcher (though both are on this list).

No one does a good murder mystery show quite like the Brits. Sure, we've had plenty of compelling series come along in the United States, like Mindhunter, The Night Of, and even Pretty Little Liars, but there's just something about the atmosphere of a crisp morning in the U.K. that really drives home the narrative over there.

You probably know Michael C Hall as Dexter Morgan in Dexter or David Fisher in Six Feet Under. These days, the talented star is fronting his own pop group.

This might be a controversial take, but not everyone is made of money! We can't all shell out money every month for Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Apple TV+ and/or whatever other subscriptions are fighting for our hard-earned cash these days. This is why I have scoured the depths of the World Wide Web to find the best shows you can stream legally, for free, on the internet, and there are way more than you think — as long as you don't mind putting up with some ads now and then.

Binge-watching a new TV show is a chance to put the real world on hold, and isn't that something we could all use more of right about now? For those who want to indulge in a little escapism, nothing beats the fantastical (and often physically impossible) worlds of science-fiction.

Much like its genre neighbor science-fiction, supernatural shows allow viewers to escape into a world full of the unknown. Sometimes, they're scary and full of things that go bump in the night; at others, they're funny and inject a nice dose of levity into stressful situations; and often, they're full of hunky teenagers who are also werewolves.

The superhero genre has experienced an unprecedented boom in the last 10 years (thank you, Marvel), and we're not just talking about the big blockbusters in theaters. TV has taken a big bite out of the superpower pie, and there are now more shows about superheroes than ever before.
