'Lost in Space' Season 2 Is Already in the Works!
Let me just start by saying that I'm over the moon we even got a Lost in Space Season One. The original Lost in Space series, which ran from 1965-1968, was some seriously OG sci-fi. In fact, it was the original rival to Star Trek. And even though the narrative has had multiple remakes and reboots since, Netflix's release of a reboot on the 50th year since the original show's cancellation made a lot of sci-fi fans very very happy. And let's be real, any Lost in Space is good Lost in Space, if you ask me.

10 Best Science Fantasy TV Shows on Netflix
Of all the different genres in the current TV landscape, none has produced more exciting shows than science fantasy. Science fantasy shows are all over the place these days, they're multiplying like rabbits and attracting a ton of viewers. Not only that, but most are garnering critical acclaim as well. Throw in Netflix, a streaming service that allows people to watch endless hours of their favorite content without feeling guilty (besides that pesky "Are you still watching?" message that comes up, the answer is always yes, Netflix), and suddenly there is more demand than ever before for quality fantasy/sci-fi shows. With so many shows dropping all the time, it can be hard to keep up with all of them. Fear not, I have compiled this list to solve that very problem. So without further ado, here are the ten best science fantasy TV shows on Netflix.

The 'Lost in Space' Reboot Is a Contrived Upgrade of the Original
For the majority of science fiction fans today, the 1960s was the decade of Star Trek, The Twilight Zone, Planet of the Apes, and 2001: A Space Odyssey. For others, this list also includes Lost in Space. Most millennials may vaguely recall a cheesy film of the same name in 1998, starring Gary Oldman and the funniest Friend, Matt LeBlanc, but some may not realize that that film was a poor reimagining of a classic show. From 1965 to 1968, viewers were privy to the trials and tribulations of the Robinson family as they navigated the turmoil of being lost in space. It was a hit show for CBS, unlike ‘Star Trek, which scraped by but has endured through films and franchise spin-offs.

How 'Black Mirror' Changed My Social Media Habits. Top Story - April 2018.
Of all nineteen episodes of Black Mirror, the third season premiere, “Nosedive,” was the hardest for me to watch. There was no bestiality, no murder, no consciousness-transfer. It wasn’t as shocking as “White Bear” or as disturbing as “Black Museum.” Sure, there was advanced technology, but it was nothing like the synthetic husband in "Be Right Back."

Top 10 'Doctor Who' Episodes (Revived Series Only)
Honorable Mention: 'The Impossible Planet'/'The Satan Pit' — Series 2 Episodes 8 & 9 Where Angels Fear to Tread A truly unique episode which traps The Doctor and Rose in the orbit of a black hole, something which is is theoretically impossible, according to The Doctor. That impossibility along with the language so old that even the TARDIS can't translate it immediately evokes intrigue and curiosity from the get go. The classic two-part episode is full of twists and turns along the way as The Doctor comes face to face with something he previously refused to acknowledge the existence of; Satan himself.

SyFy, UFOs, and 'Official Denial'
The late 1980s and early 1990s saw a rash of film and TV projects based off of the alien abduction phenomenon. These included adaptations of two non-fiction books based on the phenomenon by Whitely Strieber (Communion starring Christopher Walken) and Budd Hopkins (Intruders). In 1993, the fledgling Sci-Fi Channel (now known, of course, as SyFy) also produced a TV movie on the phenomenon as their first original movie. Titled Official Denial, the result is an interesting if at times an under-served piece of work.
