10 Amazing Sci-Fi TV Shows You Need To Stop Sleeping On

9. Doom Patrol

Lost In Space
DC Universe

The hit that no one saw coming (and still not enough people do), Doom Patrol was perhaps the biggest surprise comic book TV fans experienced in the past decade - and that's really saying something.

A spin-off of the DC Universe's mega-hit Titans, there was always a good chance of it being at least remotely successful, but the critic response to the show has been nothing short of incredible - and it's easy to see why.

Set in a completely different universe than its predecessor, Doom Patrol is both hauntingly real and ridiculously ambitious. It's built on emotional and gritty storytelling but features some of the wittiest dialogue you'll ever hear in your life. And it's a superhero series that is about anything but superheroes.

A complete anomaly, Doom Patrol surprised people. Then it continued to surprise people. And with its second season now streaming on both DCU and HBO Max, it's surprising people in a whole new way on a weekly basis. Now is the time to let it surprise you.
