15 Underrated Sci-Fi TV Shows You Should Be Streaming Now

15. Mars

Mars is a docudrama depicting a fictional mission to the red planet in 2033. It follows the trials and tribulations of the pioneering crew as they set up a scientific research facility and colony, millions of miles from home.

It's a decent sci-fi drama made all the more interesting by the use of real-life interviews from present-day scientists, intermixed with fictional interviews with the crew prior to setting off.

Whilst Mars is a fictional account of an expedition to another planet, the interviews and discussions of hard science lend the show a level of realism that other shows either lack or don't bother with.

An essential watch for anyone interested in space travel and the cosmos.
