List of the best science fiction series: rating

Fantastic series are always very popular, and this is not surprising, because such tapes are large-scale special effects to show the unreality of what is happening, and the famously twisted plot, and almost always known, beloved and very talented actors. Today, dozens of films and TV shows have been shot with a fantastic context, and it’s not so important whether they were shot on the famous Marvel comics or the plot is completely new and written specifically for production in the movies - in any case, they look bright and vivid. So to speak, the genre is binding.

Nevertheless, there are always more or less successful paintings. That is why this article will talk about the most popular science fiction foreign series. A list will be given at the end of the article, and rating them will help you make your own choice. Happy viewing!

The first fantastic series

Of course, they tried to shoot science fiction from the beginning of the twentieth century - it’s worth recalling, for example, the German “dumb” film of 1926 “Metropolis”, which is considered one of the most talented not only for that time, but also in the history of cinema in general. You can still cite many examples of successful or unsuccessful films and TV shows in the genre of science fiction, which became very popular just along with the heyday of cinema.

But still, the palm belongs to the series, which laid the foundation for a whole culture. This, of course, is about Star Trek. Since the late sixties, more than one generation of actors has already changed, dozens of films and series have been shot on this universe, a whole series of books have been written, but the idea of ​​the Star Trek universe is still alive, moreover, it continues to develop and gain fans around the world. Is this not an indicator of the cult character and significance of this series for the cinema science fiction genre?

In those distant times

Now it seems even funny, but when they shot the first season of the series (which was in 1966), only cardboard decorations, painted frames, and wax dolls were used. All the epic, for which we love science fiction so much, will come much later, with the development of computer technology and special effects. But this did not prevent the series "Star Trek" rightfully be called the father and founder of the genre, which is higher than the top science fiction series. The best rating of any publication that deals with the analysis of this genre will put this work of cinema in first place, and after all, the release of the series almost ended in failure at the very beginning. After the first episodes were released, the project was decided to be closed, however, constant letters from fans, few in number, but very persistent, convinced them to leave the series alive.

Another picture standing next to Star Trek is the science fiction project, which is considered the longest: it is about the film Doctor Who. It was there that they first used electronic music as the main sound for the series. Doctor Who, for its more than half a century of history, has gathered millions of fans around the world and is rightfully included in the list of the very best.

Which ratings are the most authoritative?

Nevertheless, not every site on which any polls are conducted, ratings and “tops” are compiled, boasts that it is authoritative and influential in the analysis of a particular issue.

Site No. 1 for Russia is, perhaps, KinoPoisk. There is also a section on the portal that interests us: "Popular foreign science fiction series." List, rating, reviews - all this is constantly monitored, data is updated and updated.

One of England’s most influential newsreels is Empire. To get to the pages of this publication is considered a great success, so the Empire rating should be paid attention to.

In general, in the "Fantastic Series" section, the list of ratings is quite large - yet it is one of the most popular genres now. In the article we will mention such magazines and sources as IMDB, the site "Fantasy World" and many others.

These ratings are based on not only expert ratings, but also reviews from ordinary viewers. As you can see, taking three random ratings as the basis, part of the series “echoes” - falls into each. Perhaps it’s worthwhile to analyze these series in more detail, because if they are named among the best over and over again, then they are worth it.

"Secret materials"

This television series was originally designed for nine years: from 1993 to 2002. The series was the "face" of the Fox channel.

The main ideas of the project were: distrust of the authorities on the part of society, the so-called "conspiracy theories", the information war, extraterrestrial civilizations and attempts to contact them. The television series was collected at the screens of millions of people around the world, because it was shot very high quality, and talented actors add special charm to it.

In general, the plot "The X-Files" is a secret department in the FBI, where the main characters - Fox Mulder and Dana Scully work. Both heroes are completely opposite natures: if Mulder believes in paranormal phenomena, parallel worlds, extraterrestrial civilization, then his partner Scully is a skeptic and tries to explain everything exclusively from a scientific point of view. Against the backdrop of the relationship of partners, which from friendship grow into a romantic relationship, the events of each series unfold. The series has long held a solid place in the ranking of the best science fiction series. It was considered finished some time ago, and now the audience is looking forward to continuing.

"Firefly"

This series, which has become a cult not only in America, but throughout the world, was shot in the genre of the so-called space western. His premiere was held in 2002 on Fox.

The series tells us about a very distant future, when people have already mastered space completely and even moved to a neighboring galaxy. The plot focuses on smugglers traveling from planet to planet in a spaceship called Serenity, which belongs to the Firefly class of ships.

Lost

The so-called pilot series was released in 2004. Almost nineteen million people watched it. At the moment, six seasons have been released.

In the center of the series are people who survived the crash . The events that develop on the island, where several dozen people live by the will of fate, cannot be called calm. How, under such conditions, is it not just to survive but to remain human? This is what this series is about.

The project has been awarded many prizes in various categories.

"World of the Wild West"

Another name for this project is "Western World". This fantastic high-rated series kicked off on HBO in 2016. Just as once they made a series of the same name from a full-fledged “Fargo”, so did a “long-playing” project from the film “Western World” of the seventy-third year of release. The second season is planned to be shown in 2018.

In the center of the plot is an amusement park in the style of futurism, which is run by androids. Robots, at first glance, do not mind. However, it turns out that not all cars after "death" forget what happened to them.

"Fantasy World"

The rating of science fiction series in 2017 is also represented by the Russian magazine Fantastic World, well-known in these circles. The series listed below are the most anticipated, but not releases, but sequels. This is more valuable, because it means that the viewer already loved these projects.

So:

1. "Eighth Sense" (Season 2).
2. Adventure Time (Season 8).
3. Doctor Who (Season 10).
4. Star Wars Rebels (continued 3rd season).
5. Game of Thrones (Season 7).
6. "Mr. Robot" (season 3).
7. "Very Strange Things" (Season 2).
8. "Hundred" (season 4).
9. "Black Mirror" (season 4).
10. Sherlock (Season 4).

And now, according to the same site, the rating of fantastic foreign series that are being announced as something new for viewers:

1. "American gods."
2. Star Trek: Discovery.
3. Twin Peaks
4. "Iron Fist", "Defenders", "Punisher".
5. "Terror".
6. "Lemony Snicket: 33 misfortunes."
7. Powerless.
8. "Emerald City".
9. "Modified carbon."
10. "Legion".

We look and decide whether these series are rightfully included in the top most anticipated in 2017. If on any site you look at the list or rating of the best science fiction series, foreign, as we see, completely supplanted domestic products. Well, indeed, in this art form we are one step behind.

And now - about the series that are most expected in the next few years.

The most anticipated science fiction series

The ranking of science fiction series promising to be the highlight of the coming year is headed by Mr. Mercedes . This is a project that will be filmed based on the novel of the great writer Stephen King. He can be called the champion in the number of adaptations, until recently, the Dark Tower was presented to us. And although not every film shot from the book of this writer can be called successful, and viewers often split into two camps, this series is undoubtedly worth watching.

• HALO . And again, we are presented with a film adaptation, but now on the same game.
• "Blood on the Nile." The series is announced, which is unknown.
• "Lost in space . " Manufacturers claim that the series will be the second "Firefly". Well, we can only wait!
• Star Wars: Another World . A new work on the legendary saga will be released this year. Will the expectations of the audience turn out to be justified or does someone want to "go out" again in the glory of the famous film? It is hoped that the hopes of the fans will be justified.
• "Cloak and Dagger"; The Fugitives. These two series are produced by Marvel, and, therefore, their content will be similar: the Earth again needs superheroes, the planet again needs to be saved.
• Black Lightning . The series is based on the comic book of the same name from the DC universe. The main character is Jefferson Pierce, who completed his superhero journey nine years ago. As often happens, after the disappearance of the guardian of law, a revelry of crime begins. Pierce decides to return to his old business when life in the area becomes too dangerous for his family.
• Also, as we know, in 2018 they will be released: the final season of Game of Thrones, they are talking about the continuation of The Big Bang Theory and the World of the Wild West - series that have already become more than just cult ones.

Conclusion

The film industry is growing rapidly. Besides the fact that new films and series are constantly being shot, directors make remakes of cult paintings, but are the ratings so objective? How often do you often happen that the sensational film left no trace after watching, and the little-known tape was remembered? In the end, if the viewer always focused only on the evaluation of a publication, then a project such as Star Trek, which did not immediately fall into the ratings of science fiction series, would never go further than the first season or just pilot episodes in general.

The same can be said about the fresh project "Black Lightning". Work on it began in 2016 by order of the Fox channel, but they refused the series, although a pilot series was already ready. Next, The CW set to work, making their version of the first episode. The project is on the list of expected, and it costs a lot.
