WOW guys WOW - I am speechless and don't know even where to begin to reply in this thread. I guess I am deifinitely a sci-fi fan too, but there is so much more to see!

Zeva - I agree 100% about Sens8. I loved that show and really was bummed when Netflix didn't renew it. I was glad when they made the 2 hour show to give it an ending though. I also agree about Stranger Things - it is also very nostalgic for me. I haven't started Season 3 yet (I've been busy with SN - lol). I remember hearing good things about Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but I believe it aired back when I was deep into my career and never had time for TV. I am putting that one on my list. I will also add Discovery of Witches. Thank you for your input.

Wow Maggie - I thought my list was long, thank you for this information. I have commented in italics if I have seen or not.

Babylon 5 1994 My favourite. A complete world from the future. Superb. ''I was traveling and working when this Series came out. I have it now at the Top of my List.''

Farscape 1999 Extremely good. Some of the actors from here ended up in later seasons of Stargate, that is how I discovered this. ''Never heard of this show - I will look into it further and watch an episode to see if I like. Probably since it will be actors from Stargate.''

Carnivàle 2003 mysterious, atmospheric. Happens during 1930s and talks about war between good and evil. HBO series. ''Never heard of this - I probably would very much like it. I liked Stephen King's The Stand.''

Lost 2004 another must watch. Or rewatch. Several times. ''I absolutely loved this show. This was the first show I ever binge watched back in 2009 on DVD set series at the time. I picked it up when they had the last season on regular TV. I have rewatched it several times as well.''

Fringe 2008 a must watch. Fantastic. Procedural with superb script and acting.''  I might have heard of this but have never seen it. I will check it out.''

Sleepy Hollow 2013 - hard to describe. I didn't find the premise interesting - Ichabod Crane in current times but this became one of my favourites. Love. ''Same with this series. I might have watched an episode, but I'm one who likes to see things from the beginning and watch all the way through. Now that it's finished, I will look into it further.''

Eureka 2006 Small town, futuristic inventions. Really lovely, pity it is only 2 seasons. ''Never heard of this - maybe it's more UK. I will see if it is available.''

The Gates 2010 - so sorry it was ended quickly. Another gated community, now with supernatural  ''Gated community - is this like Under the Dome? Never heard of this either. I will be busy looking into all of this.''

4400 2006 - 4400 missing people reappear  I watched a couple of these episodes - it felt dated to me and I couldn't keep focused on it.

The Returned/Les Revenants 2012 - French series. People stopped dying. Fantastic series. Didn't watch the English language remake. There are also some new ones inspired by that one on Netflix. Zombies like you haven't seen before. ''Probably not available here. I'll check.''

Jericho 2006 town cut from the world''  I watched this when it first came out. I really liked it and was sorry they didn't have more seasons.''

V 2009 - aliens among us. Awesome.  I have also seen this and really enjoyed.

Primeval 2007 - prehistoric creatures appearing everywhere  Never heard of this - will look into.

Terra Nova 2011 people going back in time, prehistoric period. Again dinosaurs, yey! ''I did watch this when it came out and also enjoyed it. Really hate it when they don't renew a good series.''

Sanctuary 2008 for fans of Startgate, Samantha is back. Saving the world from supernaturals and supernaturals from the world.  Yeah Samantha - I will look into this further.

Warehouse 13 2009 similar to Sanctuary. Also lovely and relaxing.''  Never seen this - will look into. Sci-fi that's relaxing? Interesting.''

Grimm 2011 procedural with cops protecting people from supernaturals. Really good. ''I really loved the whole Grimm series. Highly recommend this show and I thought they ended it well. Could their be a possible future series someday (fingers-crossed).''

Once upon a time 2011 - premise is that characters from fairy tales are real. I didn't find that interesting but ended up loving the series  '' I also watched this series and would tape it every year. Then one year I had a conflict and could only tape 2 shows, so I cut this. Now that it's finished, I should go back and catch up on the rest.''

12 Monkeys 2015 - time travelling, if you watched the movie you know the story. Traveller from the future tries to stop the impending apocalypse. ''I believe I saw the movie and liked it. I have had this flagged as a possible one to watch, but it hasn't been available on either Netflix or Prime (without paying extra). If it would come out, I would definitely watch it.''

American Gods 2015 - based on book by Neil Geiman. Love Ian McShane. Could watch him in anything. Didn't watch season 2 yet. ''I also love Ian McShane and would probably enjoy this. I'll look into it further.''

Preacher 2016 based on comic book with comic book aesthetic. Action, pulp elements. Lots of black humour. The music. Love it. Not sure if I would like, but I will read up about it.

Castle Rock 2018 based on Stephen Kings work. I liked it. I like Stephen King as an author, so I should probably check this out.

Fortitude 2015 sci-fi/horror/mystery just brilliant. Weird things happening in the small city surrounded by snow. Incredible characters. ''Interesting. I just had a flashback to another show that was in the pacific northwest a few years back and they were surrounded by snow - I can't think of the name of the show but it was very good....got it, it was Wayward Pines - was on for 2 seasons and then not renewed. Okay - I will check this out too.''

Midnight, Texas 2017 I quite like this series. It is more supernatural elements than real sci fi. Fun to watch. Never heard of it but I will look it up.

Stranger things 2016 nostalgia, 80s, missing kids  Watching - good show.

Dark 2017 German series - watch with subtitles, awful with English audio, looks so fake. Maybe inspired by Stranger things, but so different, a lot of unexpected. I think I tried watching this and it was just too difficult.

Person of interest 2011 procedural but has a lot of interesting ideas. Better as seasons pass. ''I watched this show when it first came out since I loved Michael Emerson from Lost. I really liked this show and watched the whole series.''

Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams 2017 based on his books and adapted. I like his stories better but this is quite gripping as well. It is an anthology series. ''Watched this on Amazon and liked it. I think I like Black Mirror better.''

The Man in the High Castle 2015 again Philip K Dick. Dystopian future where Germany won the second world war. The book was gripping and I think the series does it justice. ''I did not know this was also from Philip K. Dick. I have watched this series since it began. I've enjoyed this different spin of a future.''

Real Humans/Äkta människor 2012 - Swedish series about artificial humans and how they fit into this world. Fantastic. Probably not available here...but

Humans 2015 - UK remake, also fantastic. They diverge very quickly. As always with great sci fi, it talks about the present and these 2 series show differences between Swedish and UK societies. I have been watching this series since it came out and really enjoy it.

The Good Place 2016 comedy about heaven... hell... Love it. Premise, scenario, acting - awesome. Kristen Bell aka Veronica Mars can do no wrong.''  I'm not a big comedy fan so I'm not sure if I would like it. I have a lot to work with based on what you've mentioned.''

iZombie 2015 - comedy, black comedy. And drama. Very well written. Again comedy, I might watch an epidose and if it doesn't click I'll move on.

This is an extremely good and concise list. Thank you for doing this for me. I use the IMDB app and will create a listing of all of these shows so I can read about it and track it to see where it is available for viewing. I use another link called "Just Watch" that will show me how I can get the show - if it's available for streaming and where and if it can be purchased and where.

If you can get it in the UK, I would recommend Altered Carbon - it is set in the future where consciousness is digitized and stored. It has James Purefoy in it. Also, I would recommend Sens8. If you can get access to Hulu, there is a show called Timeless that is also very good. I've never subscribed to Hulu before, but if I did I would probably check out Handmaid's Tale.

Enjoyed this thread and thank you so very much for this information! ~  Llyssa
