You can liken it to Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones or any high fantasy series you like, but after ten magical hours it truly stands on its own as a gorgeous, innovative, emotional, joyous, and exceptional wonder. Allow this incredible production to sweep you away in an epic fantasy journey, one that is able to so much more deeply and fully explore the world Henson and Frank Oz imagined with the original film. That is the bias that Age of Resistance acknowledges it’s up against-but folks, get over it. “Oh nooo!” our heroes groan, and one immediately falls asleep. All of the answers they seek will be “brought to life by that most ancient and sacred of arts…” they’re told, with a dramatic pause as the character looks right at the camera and breathes out: “Puppetry!” It’s about the beautiful land of Thra, and an event many years past that caused an imbalance and blight within the crystal that stands at the center of their world. There is a moment in Netflix’s The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance-a prequel to Jim Henson’s beloved Dark Crystal movie (which is great but you do not need to have seen it before this)-where two ancient characters are recounting an important tale to our heroes. Stars: Taron Egerton, Anya Taylor-Joy, Nathalie Emmanuel, Simon Pegg, Mark Hamill, Jason Isaacs Here are the 25 best sci-fi TV shows on Netflix.ĭeveloped by: Jeffrey Addis, Will Matthews Note: Some of the shows below have significant elements of fantasy, but as long as they also touched on scientific elements, we considered them for this list. While the Star Trek shows have since migrated to Paramount+ with the new originals, and while we’d love the return of Battlestar Galactica and/or Doctor Who to the streaming service, there is still a pretty deep catalog of sci-fi TV shows to enjoy. But there are still a lot of options to choose from if you desire something a little out-of-this-world-y. Netflix’s decision to shed a lot of licensed content and focus primarily on beefing up its original content offerings means the streaming service’s science-fiction library isn’t quite what it used to be. ![]()
