15 Best Sci-Fi TV Shows Of The 2010s
12. DC's Legends Of Tomorrow
If we've learned anything from Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, Netflix's Daredevil and the first two seasons of Arrow, it's that modern superheroes are usually at their best in a world of darkness and despair. It's something of a status quo that we've come to accept because gritty and realistic narratives make the colourful world of comic books seem a little more plausible.
Yeah, well, leave it to a bunch of time-traveling misfits to shatter the status quo.
DC's Legends of Tomorrow takes some of the Arrowverse's most popular secondary characters and sticks them together in a time-traveling time-ship so that they can make their way across history and preserve the timeline - only for them to end up destroying it in the process.
A case of truly making lemonade out of lemons, the serious first season was an experiment that just kind of existed before the show dropped logic altogether and turned it into a wacky parody of what it once was.
An unapologetically fun adventure, Legends of Tomorrow was an unexpected gem that outshone its more-famous parents multiple times, making it the best superhero show on TV for about two or three years running.
