The science fiction genre has produced some of the most engaging must-watch TV shows of the modern era. Some series are more popular among audiences than others, but the better sci-fi shows lean heavily on scientific accuracy while telling an ambitious story. This is called "hard" sci-fi, where fiction is still present, but getting the scientific elements right is a larger focus.

Whether it is about technological innovations, cloning, robotics, alternate histories, or science-related crimes, these sci-fi shows have ingenious premises that mix logic with plentiful imagination. In the current age of streaming, there have been many fantastic hard sci-fi shows with admirable and mind-bending storytelling for genre fans. From grounded projects like Black Mirror and Severance to more extraordinary space tales like Foundation and The Expanse, these are the best shows that lean prominently into the science part of science fiction.
