10 Best Sci-Fi TV Shows You Can Watch Online For FREE

3. The Lost Room

The Prisoner
Sci Fi Channel

This three-episode miniseries originally aired in the US in 2006, and is arguably the most underrated entry on this list.

The show revolves around a motel room on Route 66 and objects within it that possess unusual powers. Joe, the protagonist, finds himself on a quest to find these items after his daughter Anna goes missing while inside the room. What transpires is that the room itself has actually existed outside of time and space since the 1960s, following a mysterious event.

The show initially received mixed reviews on release, but it later received two Emmy nominations, and development on a comic book continuation has been in the works for some time.

For anyone who enjoys mystery shows, this is a real hidden gem.
