From cartoon classics to cult favorites ( Doctor Who, anyone?), here are the shows to binge when you’re ready to throw the towel in on Planet Earth and go deep-diving into the dark unknown instead. Here, we’ve rounded up some of the best space-based TV series from the last few decades. But these days, space-based series are moving well beyond the realm of pointy ears and little green men in Netflix’s original series Away, the future is now, and being a space traveler is a job in the same way that being a consultant is a job: it necessitates a lot of time away from family, and long hours spent up in the air.
It’s fitting, then, that so many sci-fi series take place in outer space, the vast and unknown frontier that the likes of Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are currently elbowing each other to dominate. From classics like the original 1966 Star Trek (and every subsequent spinoff thereafter) to more recent shows like The 100 (aka teen drama meets post-apocalyptic reality series), there are no shortage of takes on what possibilities the not-too-distant future might hold for us. Enter sci-fi, the TV genre that simultaneously gives us escapism from the present and anxiety about the future. In these trying times, it’s not uncommon for folks to wish that we could all find a way to hit a major reset button and start the decade fresh.
