Most Scifi fans I have ran into can pretty quickly rank the four stars –BattleSTAR Galactica, STAR Trek, STARgate, and STAR wars, but what lesser-known or less-prestigious shows hold a special place in your heart?

No, Firefly doesn’t count as lesser-known.

    As my username suggests- I love ‘Lexx’.

    It’s beautifully sleezy sci-fi fantasy and not nearly enough people know about it. I caught it on Netflix about 10 years ago but I think you can watch it on youtube now free with commercials.

    Highly recommend to any fans of sci-fi, but especially if you loved stuff like Farscape and Red Dwarf.

    Also shout out to ‘Avenue 5’. Hilariously dark sci-fi comedy that HBO criminally underpromoted. Also ‘Other Space’.

      I don’t remember much of Lexx, but the song the Brunen-G sang will always be in my heart. Whatever it means.

      I was looking for this one in the comments. Such a batshit crazy show that went in some very weird directions, and I absolutely loved it.

      Wow that’s a blast from the past! Remember this being on late at night when I was a teenager!

        I would have been just out of high school when the first season came out but I don’t recall ever seeing it on TV. I don’t know if it was run in my area. I don’t think I even heard of it until I saw the title card on netflix.

          I’m British so pretty sure it was on Channel 5 which is where all of the weird shows like this ended up. Had quite the following among my little friend group of outcasts lol.
