15 Great Sci-Fi Shows (Nobody Ever Talks About)
3. Braindead
A rare mash up of gory body horror, sci fi and (of all things) broad political satire, this 2016 effort manages to make its surreal genre cocktail work despite how messy the combination sounds at first glance.
Detailing the career
of a ruthlessly ambitious political analyst played by genre film stalwart Marie Elizabeth Winstead and the
spread of an alien parasite across America until the two intersect messily,
this show manages to fuse The Outer Limits and The West Wing for a funny,
frank, and refreshingly original satire with real bite, bolstered by a
hilarious supporting turn from documentary legend Michael Moore (of all
people).
