You’re probably up to date with what sci-fi shows are on Prime Video if you’ve been watching the latest, weekly drops. The good news is, the Amazon streamer’s back catalog is way better.
Give The Expanse and The Man in the High Castle a look if you haven’t already. The quality varies in between, but you might find hooks like the British family in Humans, for example, that are worth sticking around for.
These are the best sci-fi TV shows on Prime Video as of Feb. 18.
War of the Worlds (2019—)
This 2019 adaptation of H.G. Wells’ novel is a surprisingly effective take on well-trodden territory — hence running for three seasons so far (only season 1 is available on Prime Video). Set in a desolate, cold, post-apocalyptic world, we follow the Gresham family as they’re swept up in a mysterious, cataclysmic event. You experience the shocking upheaval of life as they know it, made even more difficult when teenager Emily (Daisy Edgar-Jones) is blind. Part of the story takes place in Paris, part in London. Eventually, the different pockets of humanity converge. A slow-moving, yet compelling take on survival drama with mysterious otherworldly forces at play.
Humans (2015-2018)
