Continuum, Persons of Interest, Lost, Battle Star Galactia..
Watched some of Warehouse 13, got bored of Under The Dome (if that was what it was called?), seen Heros and 2 series of Falling Skies.
What else is there I haven't watched that is worth watching based on those I've enjoyed?
If anyone can help! Trawling through Netflix and not sure..
Thank you!

12 Monkeys - is very promising, the first six episodes have been very good.
The Leftovers - Not to everyones taste, some people found it slow, but I thought it was excellent.
Haven and Defiance might be in the same sort of ballpark as some of the ones you've mentioned.
Of course there a load of other types of genre show. I like the superhero ones (Flash, Arrow, Agents of Shield) and the some of the Vampire ones (Tru Blood, Vampire Diaries, The Originals). Although I went off Tru Blood a few series back.
I love Grimm and Lost Girl.
Non genre ones I like include Bones and Elementary.
I could list loads, to be honest. Better stop there
Cheers appreciate it.
Most are not on Netflix though.
Grimm, Sleepy Hollow, The 4400, Firefly, Farscape, Helix, Babylon 5, Defiance (tv series), Arrow, The Flash, The Walking Dead, Eureka, Quantum Leap, Orphan Black
It's all serialized nonsense with suffocating story arcs and one dimensional characters. I don't want to submit you to the crap that the genre has become today
I will happily give you a heads up to some past shows if you don't mind
Fire away! I've done firefly.. But listening and will be appreciated!
Thank you! Going to pick something from all the suggestions tonight and give it a go. Much appreciated.
Your welcome
These are mix of different sci-fi and fantasy shows. May not be what your actively looking for, but worth a try. My list may seem large so I apologise if I feel like I am swamping you. Some of these are on Netflix. Some of which are shown on television. While others, you have to download elsewhere. They all offer something different. Some are space based, some are about demons, vampires, aliens, greek gods, ghosts, haunted antiques, mind swapping, visions of the future, etc etc etc
Stargate SG1 (10 seasons, 2 movies)
Stargate Atlantis (5 seasons)
Andromeda (5 seasons

The Messengers (upcoming series)
Breaking Bad (finished series, suppose to be real good, I'm part way through series 2 (out of 5))
You've missed out Stargate Universe ... intentional?
Six more series I enjoyed are:-
Dark Skies (1 season)
Medium (7 seasons)
Poltergeist: The Legacy (4 seasons)
La Femme Nikita (5 seasons)
Alias (5 seasons)
Dexter (8 seasons)
I think most of them are on Shiny Disc, PTL & Nikita being the exceptions. No idea about Catch-Up/ Download services.
Ahh yes Poltergeist. An underrated gem there. and Medium too.
Very much so
And presumably Enterprise ?
At rough count I think I've seen 50 out of the 63 series mentioned on this thread. Is that sad?
Less said about enterprise, the better
and if you want to be equalled for being sad, I have seen every single one of these shows mentioned. I am a sci-fi/fantasy junkie
I would think it makes you enlightened. ;-)
I always look at it this way; it takes a certain type of person to watch, and appreciate science fiction. This may be a bias opinion, but some people just aren't mentally prepared for it, they can't understand it because they have a very simple thought process. It's the people that do watch, follow and (to some degree) understand it that have the more open minds.
Just as well we're on a sci-fi forum, that sort of talk would start a flame war
You're probably right about the open-minded pre-requisite but I don't think it's fair to say that people who don't appreciate sci-fi are simple-minded or mentally unprepared!
I think that what you really need for these things is imagination and the ability to suspend disbelief but I don't think it's necessarily a lack of understanding :cool:
I didn't mean that people who don't watch sci-fi are simple, what I meant is that maybe they'd rather watch something simple - something that doesn't require a whole lot of thinking out the box.
You can get shows like Breaking Bad, Orphan Black and/or the Last Ship (or even CSI - not that I watch it) but all those shows are more political/conspiracy themed, yet still get the brain thinking with all the twists and turns within.
Science Fiction shows (and to a degree, some fantasy shows like Walking Dead and Game of Thrones etc) require that little bit more from the viewer. They're not based on anything that could be, it's all created from imagination, and some people just aren't wired to open their minds to that.
By comparison, it's like someone (who isn't religious) who believes that life on other planets can't be out there else we'd know about it or some nonsense; these people who can't grasp or understand just how big and complex the universe actually is. All they're concerned about is their own little lives on this one little planet, and I wouldn't think it too often (if ever) that they look up into the night sky and wonder what's out there (etc)
Its got a good chance of falling into a Lost type situation but worth a watch..
Also if you fancy some British attempts at sifi fantasy then there is always survivors, the deep or even penny dreadful.
If you're ok with that fine, but just in case thought I'd mention that!
