The Only Netflix Sci-Fi Series With 100% Rotten Tomatoes Scores

The original Mystery Science Theater 3000 became a nerd staple because it was art imitating life: just as sci-fi fans have made rituals about watching awful movies and laughing at them, this was a show about a man forced to watch awful programming alongside his wisecracking robot companions.

Netflix brought this sci-fi classic back with Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Return. We have a new human protagonist played by Jonah Ray, and he has new foes, including the amazing Felicia Day. For all the changes, though, the show keeps the classic feeling by bringing back the original bots and bringing in more hilariously cringeworthy movies for everyone to endure.

Ever watch an episode of Star Trek and think “wow, they could make an entirely new series off this idea?” That’s basically the vibe of The Hollow, an animated series focusing on teenagers who wake up in a very different world and have no memory of who they are.The charm of this Netflix sci-fi series largely comes from the great characters: thanks to the fun premise, audiences get to learn more about them even as they rediscover who they are. Aside from the characters, the magical world of the titular Hollow has a special charm that will keep you watching until the very end.

Speaking of high-concept science fiction, Travelers is a show that features two staples of the genre: time travel and a postapocalyptic setting. However, this Netflix sci-fi show adds an interesting twist: rather than entire bodies traveling backward in time, we see consciousnesses from the future that are sent back to aging host bodies in our present day.It’s fascinating to watch how Travelers methodically answers all of audiences’ inevitable questions about how the titular travelers learn about the bodies they will be occupying. Beyond that, what will keep you watching is learning more about the mysterious AI that is assigning these travelers important missions that may completely change the face of the future.

It had a rough start, but after some patches, Cyberpunk 2077 became one of the best video games of the modern era. It allowed players to bask in its Blade Runner-esque setting while establishing characters and settings that are wholly original and wholly captivating.As the name implies, the Netflix sci-fi series Cyberpunk: Edgerunners takes place in that world, but it’s easy to enjoy the show even if you’ve never checked out the game. Its story of protagonist David Martinez who turns from a promising student to a prospering criminal makes for one of the most fulfilling arcs we’ve ever watched.

Some of the best science fiction ever made takes familiar stories and tropes and turns them on their head. This is the case with Pluto, which is an anime murder mystery with a twist: the chief investigator is a robot who seems on the verge of becoming a victim himself.This Netflix sci-fi show obviously has plenty to love for mystery fans, but it’s also a feast for anime lovers or anyone who enjoys an ambitious cartoon. Plus, this world of humans and robots living uneasily together mirrors our current anxieties about AI in a way that adds emotional heft to each episode.

Katla is a Netflix sci-fi series that doesn’t immediately scream “science fiction.” It takes its name from the name of a volcano in Iceland that erupted one year ago in this show’s world and left a handful of people living in the nearby village of Vik.However, things take a turn when a woman returns to the village after 20 years and inexplicably looks exactly as she did two decades ago. Pretty soon, the entire village is trying to get to the bottom of the growing mystery as more people return from the past looking completely unchanged

While some science fiction takes place in the distant future, we’ve always had a soft spot for sci-fi that holds a mirror up to our current world. That’s certainly what Osmosis is doing: this Netflix sci-fi series focuses on a dating app with the special twist that it scans users’ brains in order to find them the perfect romantic partner.

The show delves into the lengths that humanity will go to in order to find love. Along the way, it forces us to question everything from the accuracy of algorithms to the nature of true love. And, of course, it adds a dash of paranoia regarding the dangers of trusting so much of our lives to technology that may very well have nefarious ulterior motives.
