15 Most Rewatchable Sci-Fi TV Shows Of The 21st Century
11. Invader ZIM
Recently revived by Netflix, Jhonen Vasquez’ hilariously dark sci-fi comedy Invader ZIM remains probably the darkest and strangest show to ever make it past the censors at the ostensible kid’s network Nickelodeon.
With a tone more befitting the anarchic world of Adult Swim, Invader ZIM follows the titular megalomaniacal Zim and his doomed attempts to conquer earth and enslave humanity, and this surprisingly cynical, breakneck-paced series deserves to be revisited by fans of cartoon zaniness, sci-fi deconstruction, and purely funny character comedy alike.
With a unique visual style and a chaotic charm which has been imitated endlessly but never bettered, Invader ZIM is essential (re-)viewing for sci-fi fans of all ages.
