10 Sci-Fi TV Shows You Must Binge-Watch This Fall

10. The Boys

The Boys pulled something of an unorthodox twist earlier this summer when its showrunner announced that it had already been renewed for a third season before its second hit screens. If we can take anything away from that, it's certainly an indication of how popular the show is - something that was also made clear when its first season surpassed Amazon Prime's viewing expectations in a matter of days.

If you're not aware, the show is set in an alternate world where the superheroes are merely actors hired by powerful corporations to do their bidding. In reality, they're pretty despicable and this sparks a rebellion from a group of vigilantes who rise up and attempt to root out the corruption by challenging these so-called heroes.

Taking a bold - and at times hard-to-watch - approach, The Boys is loyal to its graphic source material and that may make it an acquired taste, but its unapologetic nature has made it stand out in an overpopulated environment of comic book programming.

The second season was initially expected to arrive this summer, but recent announcements confirm we can expect it in the first week of September instead.

With that in mind, you can always was binge the first season while you're waiting.
