DELPHINE DESCENDS
After her family is killed and her homeworld occupied, young Kathreen Martin is sent to the distant world of Furoris for re-education. She will live the rest of her life as a serf - to be bought and sold as a commodity of the Imperial Network.
When her only chance of escape is ruined, a chance mistaken identity offers her a new life as the orphaned daughter of a First-Citizen Senator and heiress to a vast fortune.
She vows to claw her way into power to sit among the worlds’ elite. Then, with her own hands, she will reap bloody vengeance on them all.
But to beat them, she must play their game. And she must play it better than them all.
BLACK MILK
Prometheus has the chance to bring his wife back from the dead, but doing so will mean the destruction of Earth.
Spanning time, planets and dimensions, Black Milk draws to a climactic point in a post-apocalyptic future, where humanity, stranded with no planet to call home, fights to survive against a post-human digital entity that pursues them through the depths of space.
Five lives separated by aeons are inextricably linked by Prometheus’s actions:
Ystil.3 is an AI unit sent back in time from the distant future to investigate Prometheus’s discovery...
The mysterious Lydia has devoted her life to finding a planet that the last remaining humans can call home…
Tom Jones (he’s a HUGE fan!) is an AI trapped inside a digital subspace, lost and desperate to find his way back to his beloved in real-time…
Dr Norma Stanwyck is a neuroscientist from 24th Century Earth whose personal choices ripple throughout time...
Prometheus must learn the necessity of death or the entire universe will be swallowed by his grief.

Correction: The Expanse has 6 seasons. Slip of the tongue.
oh gosh you didn't just say that! I just had a coughing fit irl 🤪
i'll write it off with having limited memory, and with being too focused on remembering the Canturberry.
No Farscape. No Firefly. No Babylon 5. ??
Maybe he hasn't watched them.
No Space 1999?!? UFO?!?
+1 for Farscape :-)
Thank you now I can stop watching the video in the beginning
Loved both firefly and farscape. i never got my selft to watch babylon 5 and I see many people mentioning it, is it worth it?
I love Stargate SG-1 because Richard Dean Anderson keeps it just enough tongue-in-cheek to add a whole other layer of sophistication to the show, making it simultaneously a sci-fi show and a self-aware commentary on sci-fi shows.
I was surprised it wasn't on this list
IMHO Babylon 5 deserves to be near the top and I'd also add The Orville, Firefly, and the first season of Space: 1999.
I gave up on Babylon 5 very quickly. Can you explain why it's so great? To be honest, as soon as a telepath in episode 1 says "funny, somehow I just kneeeeeeeeeeew you were going to say that", it made me cringe very hard, and I turned it off.
@@guruthosamarthruin4459 I know what you mean. As I watched the pilot/first episode of Babylon 5 I found it "cringey" as you describe!
However... I did watch the next few episodes and was greatly rewarded for it. Almost everything was improved. The entire series still managed to have a few clunker episodes but many of them were some of the best TV I've ever seen.
As for the pilot episode, the creator(s) of the series acknowledged that there were problems and actually re-edited it. It was markedly better, still not great, but definitely an improvement. Re-watch it, if you dare!
It's really disappointing that the top ranked show was was a rip-off of Babylon 5 (literally....Paramount stole the ideas, story and even character names from J. Michael Straczynski's show bible. They had to settle out of court when he sued them).
@@ascendent3084 And yet I liked both DS9 and Babylon 5. The setting was similar but the characters were vastly different.
Gul Ducat and Londo Mollari were very complex "bad guys."
@@guruthosamarthruin4459 -
Almost every episode in the entire series was written by one person, the creator of the show, J. Michael Straczynski, so it all fits together pretty tightly, with dialog and events happening that seem random in an episode, with the payoff coming several episodes - or even seasons - later. Watching it through a second time, you see stuff mentioned offhandedly in the 1st or 2nd season that are major spoilers for things that happen in seasons 3 and 4.
Space above and Beyond was a hidden gem. Often overlooked due to shows like V or Alien Nation
I LOVED that show !!! And the intro music is by the female composer of Batman:the Animated series,it's so good.The 2 female leads were-GORGEOUS !!! I watched it for a while,then no more episodes,no one told us ( the viewing audience ) the show was cancelled.
I remember all of those from when I was growing up (watched all of SAandB and V as a kid also). Great shows with great music too, though to 2 miniseries for V were a lot better then the later regular series and I never watch the reboot.
WTF where is farscape and babylon 5
The Expanse had 6 seasons not 5. The Expanse is the only TV science fiction show that I have ever seen that faithfully adapted the sophisticated space opera that evolved in the prose form in the 1940s. Star Trek did this too but not in the depth of the The Expanse. This was the kind of verisimilitude that Heinlein , Asimov and a myriad other writers (especially in the 1940s and 1950s) invented. This was real dirt-under-the-fingernails lived in world building , common on the page but never seen in film or TV science fiction before, unique. (Even tho there is a ton of source material for this on the page.)
Good list but it's all subjective, so for what it's worth here is my top ten, in no particular order.
1.Farscape
2.Firefly
3.Blakes 7
4.Babylon 5
6.UFO
7.The Expanse
8.Stargate SG1
9.Fringe
10.Star Trek TOS
It's great to see Blake's 7 on the list; you did a fine job detailing its strengths!
Glad to see Blake's 7 on the list. It being 45 years old now most people have never heard of it. In my opinion it should be number 1 on every ones list of classic TV sci-fi.
12 Monkeys (TV series that ran for 4 seasons) that makes the original Terry Gillian film look like a primer in time travel. Babylon 5 changed the use of special effects and introduced a major series of arcs that crossed multiple seasons and had many stellar actors that had meaningful and compelling character arcs.
Firefly
Stargate: "Am I a joke to you?"
I'm fine with it not being on the list, but it counts as my favorite sci-fi show(s).
That was propaganda for invade Middle East dressed as scify.
THANK YOU, I was gonna say stargate sg1 and atlantis. It's a crime that those shows aren't on the list.
I am not. The list is clearly not well thought out without Stargate SG1, the longest running sci-fi TV show.
FARSCAPE!
What about For All Mankind? Great storyline and seriously underrated.
Sarah Connor Chronicles, Stargate Universe, Continuum, Dark Matter, Andor.
All of those would make my top 10 list. They're not mainstream, but they're all quality.
Hooray for the often-overlooked Fringe! 😊
BSG - absolutely!
But not Falling Skies? 😢 😢 😢
Hey Darrel! I like the new expansion of your channel into media other than books. Good idea, I look forward to more.
Glad to see Blake's7 ... far too often overlooked IMHO. A crossover between ORAC and Marvin would be something to behold.
My dad watched Blake’s 7, but wouldn’t let me.
But I watched from behind the couch cos I was only young when it reached Australia. I loved it.
So dark, such exploration of ideas across the spectrum of human experience.
Goddamn I loved it when I could finally watch the whole thing as an adult.
Hardest sci-fi ever imho.
Number 1 imho.
Hunt it down if you haven’t seen it, no Hollywood here. Just amazing plot and acting despite 70s Special Effects.
Also - special mention: Raised by Wolves.
And Number two in my strong opinion: The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (BBC series version from the 80s)
Good Vid. Totally agree with some and totally disagree on others. That makes a good thought provoking discussion starter. Great Job!
Fascinating list and great to see Blake's 7 high in this list which in my personal fave but Deep Space 9 ahead of it and no mention of Babylon 5? Shocker. That aside, notable mentions should also go to the original Trek (still the best in terms of originality), Gerry Anderson's UFO which really was ahead of its time and perennial fave Dr Who.
Blake's 7 is so damn good. It has a tragic, doomed quality.
Stargate SG1 should be on the list. I would replace Star Trek: Voyager or TNG as they are both basically the same type of show.
Great list, I've discovered one or two shows I didn't know 🙂. IMHO Babylon 5 and Stargate should have been mentioned, maybe on a Top 15 ? 😉Anyway,
Anyway, thank you for this list !
Thanks for the suggestions, Darrel! Blake7 and Space Above and Beyond looks great :) Battlestar Galactica is my personal favorite, along with its movies and prequels, Blood and Chrome and the absolutely wonderful Caprica. Caprica is a pure gem, and sets off the entire world of Battlestar Galactica.
Fantastic list. Never heard of Blakes 7 nor Space: Above and beyond, so i'll be checking those out soon. Nice variety of shows and concepts. Loved Fringe but the last season or so lost me. X-Files and Stargate SG-1 are two of my all time favorites, but nostalgia is a tough one. I remember watching BSG weekly with a group of friends in college and delving into the philosophy and concepts with a meal afterwards, great times. Also that BSG Pilot movie was just incredible.
Blake's 7 was mainly aired in the US on public television. Space Above and Beyond I believe was only a short run replacement series.
DS9 is my second favorite ST after TNG but IMOH Babylon 5 is a better show and should have been on your list.
Dude Y Forgot B5 Babylon 5 DS9 and B5 are almost Identical Both we're launched The Same Year...
I never got into B5 because DS9 already existed. Also, SeaQuest:DSV happened and the whole series naming thing at the time was irritating and boring.
DS9 was produced because of B5 and its popularity .
@@thegremlin3194 DS9 came out a couple of months before B5.
@@milou66 everyone gets it the wrong way around.
The Expanse is my favorite for sure!
Brilliant list. 👏
I'm extremely pleased with DS9 being at the top. It's a unique show. And thank you for mentioning Space: Above and Beyond, I remembered this show from the past, but forgot the title and couldn't find it some time ago.
I would expand this list with Alien Nation, Stargate and Tales from the Loop at the very least.
I LOVED DS9,the supporting characters were just as developed as the main cast.And had several episodes based on them too.Very-RARE-on most Trek series.
Fringe!! I am so happy you've mentioned this one.
Blake's 7 is definitely a personal favourite, and it's nice to see it on this list, and so high as well. I recently watched the series again with a much younger friend who experienced it for the first time, and it was awesome to revisit. Also, that ending...people are still knocked over by it 40 years on.
I feel like, to be fair, if I made a top ten list (which I'm not really about to do), I would feel compelled to only include one Star Trek show, even though I like most of them. In that case it'd be a toss-up between TOS and DS9, for me...maybe, like you, I'd have to go with DS9.
Other candidates for me would include The Outer Limits, and Space: 1999.
I need to echo some other comments: if all the 90's Star Trek shows qualified, then Babylon 5 should definitely be in there as well if the criteria are complex characters and relationships and plot arcs. Lando's and G'kar's arcs, together and each one separately, alone are brilliant enough for that.
Your list is inaccurate as it does not include Babylon 5
I missed babylon 5 in this list. I do agree with including space above and beyond included.
Need more of these, and to spilt them into sub genres. I look forward to more.
For space related shows, Farscape and Babylon 5 as many have noted should surely make list. Combine Star Trek the various series into one spot to make room for others.
In the X Files, Fringe vein, perhaps not so well known, would be Dark Skies.
And maybe do a list of Star Trek shows that are not Star Trek, which at very least should include SeaQuest DSV.
One of my favourite sci-fi shows was Farscape and Dark Matter !!
I agree 💯 great list. 👍🏾
I love that you did a vid on good shows. I admit i haven't seen a few of these. I watched the first season of Fringe and was underwhelmed but maybe I'll give it another shot. However, you missed some great ones! Firefly is honestly my fave! But you skipped Dr. Who?! Farscape and Babylon 5 deserve a mention. What about Stargate? I LOVED every season of 10 seasons. What a sense of humor, what a cast, what topics they tackled! You've got to expand your list tovat least 25 if not 50. I know that would make a long video but i would watch it, making a list. My mom likes Eureka. Counterpart, Quantum Leap, V, Twilight Zone and Outer Limits. You picked good shows but missed some big ones. Maybe you should even do 100 best sci fi shows. 😊
Stargate atlantis! I mean cmon, mckay and beckett are the best characters of all time
Putting it bluntly, I am dismayed. I know these sorts of rankings are subjective by their very nature, but you left off some really excellent shows while including some that in my opinion shouldn't be on the list at all. Where is "Babylon 5"? Where is "Farscape"? And why, for the love of all that is holy, good, and true, is "Star Trek: Voyager" on the list?!?!
For the record, I LOVE your channel even when I disagree with you.
Farscape ftw
He does say they're his favourites not that they are the best
Farscape is very overrated. It's a fine diversion, but not a great Sci-Fi show by any means. I think Killjoys is a good 5 season show you should check out.
@@ruhafla8326 oh wow! I really feel like you’ve got that backwards! All good tho, like what you like 👏👏
@@micdavey Farscape was a struggle for me to get through. Glad I finished it for sure, but not a favorite of mine. That being said, I do own a very cool stuffed Rigel that sits on my bed. lol
I might suggest, as well, Sliders (from the 1990’s despite later issues with the series), that shows depiction of anybody finding a way to slide into parallel Earths and meeting parallel versions of yourself is a series in need of a reboot. Two other series from the late-2000’s/early-2010’s that should be on this list was SciFy channel’s Eureka (which to this day has to be the perfect blend of sci fi elements and comedy in a rather realistic setting, and it’s mind bending episodes of the characters winding up in the beginning 4th season back in
the town’s 1940’s was pitch perfectly done with also actions taken leading to a parallel time line that could not be erased), and Warehouse 13 to me remains one of the most inventive and uniquely different sci-fi series definitely set in a world that is for the most part familiar to us.
I absolutly love Babylon 5 and the Expanse, frankly nothing with the word "star" in its title holds a candle to either of them. However they are only numbers 2 and 3 in my book. You left off arguably the greatest Sci Fi television show of all time - The Twilight Zone.
I did like the expanse very much. I can't believe you didn't mention firefly though. Babylon 5? BTW, your analysis of Foundation was very good.
Great choices! I would have squeezed Firefly and Babylon 5 in there somehow
Blake's 7 was a groundbreaking look at TV space opera that lost out to the release of Star Wars in cinemas at the same time. Even so, it has a cult following despite cheap sets and a ship made from plumbing supplies fighting washing up bottles with fins. The acting talent carried the show and its sad that Blake, Avon, Villa, Gan, Orac and Servalan were all portrayed by actors no longer with us. A reboot is sorely overdue.
A big No to a reboot, given modern production values they'd probably destroy it.
@@Deevo037 it's unfortunate that there are so many good actors and writers out there but their skills are disrespected by corporate box-tickers grasping for demographic diversity approval rather than trying to make material of quality. It's as if there were no lgbtq, racial minorities, drag Queens or women in showbiz before 2006 and now the management has been forced to comply with the will of supporters of these groups which have so recently sprung into existence. As Charity Ekezie would say, Yeah
@@obi-ron On of the reasons I'm a fan of the Critical Drinker. He calls it like it is.
If Black Mirror made the list, I would have included The Twilight Zone, which inspired BM. Also, I would have just grouped the Star Trek series altogether, as they are similarly themed. Finally, loved to see XFiles make the list.
Nice list. My all time fave sci fi show is, and will stay forever, Farscape.
What about The Outer Limits which had a lot of Sci-fi authors writing scripts and was highly influential.
I'd also mention Torchwood, Primeval and Babylon Five.
Has X-Files but never mentions the show that inspired it... "Kolchack the nightstalker"
True.
I'd have dropped Fringe and popped Babylon 5 in the top three because it was truly groundbreaking and bloody brilliant telly!
There cannot be a list of top sci-fi television shows without the original Star Trek. It, more than any other show, set the standard for TV shows to follow. None of the other Star Trek shows would exist without it. When thinking about TV sci-fi, one thinks Gene Roddenberry and one can't think of Roddenberry without thinking Star Trek. This is like a list of detective stories without Sherlock Holmes or cooking shows without Julia Childs. I also suggest the original 60s Lost in Space is another show that brought millions of TV viewers to the genre. A glaring hole is to include Dark Mirror without Twilight Zone. Dark Mirror is but a pale and dim imitation of the ground breaking original. My suggestion is you have a good night's sleep and review this list again after reading the comments. You list is a passable first draft, not an end product.
Great video! Blake’s 7 is unknown to me so I’ll definitely check it out!
So glad to see“Space Above and Beyond” make the cut! Thought I was the only one who remembered it.
Brave also to include Voyager- it receives a lot of hate from people who never watched past the first season.
Likewise happy to see DS9 #1- I pity those who know nothing of the Dominion War. It’s hard for me to choose between DS9 and Galactica though.
Original Trek and Twilight Zone for me are also up there for laying the foundations of so much that followed.
Now do the same for movies!
You won't be disappointed with Blake's 7. The storylines and character building are second to none, just try to ignore the dodgy BBC special effects! Liberator has to be the most beautiful starship ever created.
what are your opinions on the foundation series on apple tv, i haven't seen it or read the books ive only heard that its visually good. is it good, bad, worth the watch, the book is better?
Stargate SG1, Dr Who, UFO, Babylon 5 and Space 1999 are some that come to mind.
Wow! Babylon 5 didn't make the list? Ironic considering ST:DS9, a copy of Babylon 5, did…
I guess I am not surprised that Space:1999, Season 1 only, didn't make it, but I personally would have put that ahead of Blake's 7, although I liked that one too.
How is DS9 a copy when it's first aired months before B5 pilot movie? Why does everyone get this wrong?
I've watched all but Blake 7, and while I'll agree with most of the list, I can't believe Babylon 5 did not make the cut. I would consider that at the top of my list along with BSG and Black Mirror.
What about Doctor Who? As it has run for so long it is (or was until recently) doing something right.
And Babylon 5? Made, I think, on a smaller budget than the contemporary ST:DS9. The Shadow ships were possibly unique when they appeared.
Thunderbirds? The sheer class of Gerry Anderson.
The Expanse? Yes it is a slick show, but unlike most of the others is merely an audio-visual version of existing material (the books).
But glad you included Space Above And Beyond. It had so much potential.
I'm curious to know how you made your decisions? Did you rate by criteria?
Glad to see The Expanse here. Most recently try Raised by Wolves.
Great upload and very interesting. I do realise that this is a personal opinion but I gotta ask, as I’m curious….. no Farscape, DS9 or Babylon 5? Particularly Farscape, it appears to me it was the first to be self deprecating and full of pop culture references, character growth and humour. Kinda set the blueprint for many hero and space films that have been successful since.
Nice lineup! Surprised to see so many picks I was totally unaware of.
For me it goes:
1. Mr. Robot (idc that most things in that show could happen irl, it’s the best cyberpunk media I’ve ever seen and real life right now feels like a sci fi novel anyway)
2. Andor
3. Pantheon (the only way to watch it now is piracy tho, AMC+’s treatment of this show is a prime example of why writers are striking rn)
4. Rick & Morty (Only Season 1 & 2)
5. Undone
6. Love, Death, & Robots
7. Black Mirror
8. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners
9. Neon Genesis: Evangelion
10. Cowboy Bebop
For me personally my favorite Sci-Fi show is Robotech. Got me into Anime.
Even if you did a Top 100 someone would still say "What? No xxxxxx?"
Even if I wouldn't put some choices as high as you it's a well thought out list, all worth watching.
This is my first time watching and enjoyed your list. I'm a Trekkie so any ST franchise show is of interest to me.
But I agree with some of the other comments about missing shows like Babylon 5, SG-1 and Sliders.
I had never heard of Blake's 7 so can't say anything to you including that but if you were looking for a British show why not Doctor Who?
And I will give you two others to consider in the future, Odyssey 5 and The 100
I love the fact that you threw DS9 some love. It is usually overlooked by the much more popular Start Trek: TNG. Other than Blake's 7 and Space Above and Beyond, I like you're Top 10...HOWEVER...MY Top 10 would have the same shows in different order. Topping my list would be either the new Battlestar Gallactica or Start Trek: TNG. My Top 5 would be, in no particular order: Battlestar Gallactica, Start Trek: The Next Generation, The X-Files, Star Trek: DS9, and Fringe. Oh, and let's not forget about Stargate!!! Good list though!👍
i also agree that Babylon 5 deserves to be near the top and I'd also add The Orville, Firefly, and Space: 1999.
Love how many people are saying "YOU'RE WRONG" for not including show X or series Y... Guess they missed the difference between a "10 best" list and a "Favorite 10" list.
Every one on list is good. Big Blake’s 7 fan. I think list needs to be expanded though due the the number of good to excellent sci-fi on television. There are enough that even double the number allotted would leave excellent shows off the list.
While all these lists are subjective, there are certainly shows on your list that I wouldn’t have placed there, but what about Babylon 5, Stargate SG1, Farscape? I loved Space Above and Beyond but if we’re dealing with one season shows I’d place Firefly before SAAB any day.
Now we know your top 1- 10.
Please do another vid of your top 11-20.
Babylon 5??????????
"Why are shape shifting soldiers from another universe stealing frozen heads?". That quote tells you all you need to know about Fringe. 🤣
I knew it that DS9 would be #1 when Space Above and Beyond appeared on the list. Gotta love military sci-fi.
Falling Skies, Handmaid's Tale, Westworld, Warehouse 13, Sliders...i keep thinking up more lol! I'm gonna keep checking the comments for more too. I have some new shows to watch!
You found something I haven't seen in over 20+ years space above and beyond
an old one you should check out is Sapphire and Steel ITV's answer to Doctor Who seriously creepy scifi/horror . P.s i saw recently there is serious talk of a reboot of space above and beyond
If we talk mind-bending and weird, one could make a case for Farscape. Best alien designs in any tv show still. And some interesting stuff about identity, loyalty, friendship and sacrifice. The acting could be a bit one-note at times, though.
DS-9 ripped off B-5.
My top 5
5- Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda
4- The X-files
3- The mandalorian
2- Killjoys
1- Stargate SG-1
What about Doctor Who? Space 1999? Lost in Space? Babylon 5? The Tomorrow People?
Is Anna's outlook from the remake of V coined by chick from Blakes7 tv-series? Jacqueline Pearce??? Never heard of this show before.
I would have to added the series Earth Final Conflict.... It was awesome...
Red Dwarf is number one; hands down!! 😀
Red Dwarf will always be special to me up until kochanski became a full crew member. Not blaming the actor, unfortunately it was never the same after that.
Time Hole was an awesome episode.
Who would believe that a toaster was such a funny character, brilliant bit of writing.
Right you are!
The parallel Earth Fringe was my favourite. Who can forget Walternate and Bolivia
Has everyone forgotten Orphan Black and Andromeda?
I agree with all your choices.
Good top 10 for star trek's fans
Fringe unrelated to bangs? How do you tell Olivia from Fauxlivia then?
Great stuff mate, totally agree with your choices. I was a bit worried at number two that you forgot about DS9. I'd put The Expanse higher though. I think I'm going to re-watch Space Above and Beyond. I remember really liking it back in the day. Thanks for the Vid.
DS9 is right where it should be! Love that we agree on the one. But you forgot Stargate SG1 was so good!❤
Early Dr Who!
At the top pf my list would be Quatermas, Quatermas II and Quatermas and the Pit. These were truly groundbreaking in their😊 day.
I can't believe you left out the show on which DS9 was copied from. B5 was set on a space station, tackles political themes, has multiple alien races, dark tones including exploitation and genetic modification and was based on a serialized model allowing for multiple character development. The name of the place is ... Babylon 5.
DS9 first episode was aired months before B5 pilot movie. Everyone gets this wrong!
It's been said but is worth repeating that Babylon 5 is top 3 which for me include TNG and BSG. I'm re-watching Babylon 5 and BSG now with my kids and still truly excellent. DS9 would be if they didn't steal the idea from JMS granted it did stand brilliantly on its own and include some of the best Trek episodes of all time.
Babylon 5?! Gad to see it come up so often in comments but can’t believe it’s not on the list. That was the real serialization groundbreaker. Overall great list though.
Black Mirror season 6 is out this summer
DS9 is not just one of the best Sci-Fi show's ever made! I couldn't agree more!
As expected, the majority of comments "attacked" the list. Never mind that the title was "My favorite..." -it's a list of 1 person's personal favorites and wanted to share it and the reasons why. If anyone is so perturbed by it then they should make and publish their own😊
Second thoughts, Falling Skies and Invasion Earth. Also Millennium with Lance Henriksen.
Love this list! Never thought I'd see DS9 at the top of any list, my heart belongs to TNG but DS9 was great and deserves recognition. I think i'd remove Fringe as it totally lost coherence in the last couple of years, put Blake 7 where fringe is, put Babylon 5 at number 2 and totally bin off the grim BSG remake that clearly never really had any idea where it was going, in favour of squeezing Firefly onto the list.
