15 Great Sci-Fi Shows (Nobody Ever Talks About)
14. The Outer Limits
Sandwiched between the eighties and noughties
iterations of The Twilight Zone (every twenty years like clockwork), this
darker and edgier Showtime offering has been all but forgotten by genre fans,
and it’s an inexcusable shame.
Combining the dark sense of humour of Tales from the Crypt with a mean streak a mile wide, this nastier sci-fi anthology series was infamous for its needlessly cruel twists and deserves a place on the DVD shelf of any self-respecting Black Mirror fan—particularly when one of that later show’s Netflix era episodes is essentially a beat-for-beat remake of this show’s darkly funny, bleak season four offering Hearts and Minds.
