Netflix releases so much original programming that it's nearly impossible to keep up with all of it, even if you’re consistently checking for the latest titles. Sci-fi is one of Netflix’s primary genres, with hits like “Stranger Things,” “Dark” and “3 Body Problem,” but there are plenty of lower-profile Netflix sci-fi shows that are just as good. With the sheer volume of premieres each week, those shows often move into the vast reaches of the service within a short period of time.
If you’re looking for a new sci-fi binge-watch and have made it through some of Netflix’s most popular shows already, there are plenty of other options available, from time-travel mysteries to grounded superhero stories. Here are three of my picks for high-quality Netflix sci-fi series that most viewers probably missed out on the first time.
