Most Scifi fans I have ran into can pretty quickly rank the four stars –BattleSTAR Galactica, STAR Trek, STARgate, and STAR wars, but what lesser-known or less-prestigious shows hold a special place in your heart?

No, Firefly doesn't count as lesser-known.

If you haven't seen it yet, check out the movie Coherence (2013)! It's one of my favorite sci-fi movies. The actors were taken aside and given certain direction but were never given a full script, so every time you see them arguing or trying to figure out what's happening or surprised by something, it's all genuine.

Here's the synopsis but don't read anything else about it before you watch: [Synopsis: Strange things begin to happen when a group of friends gather for a dinner party on an evening when a comet is passing overhead.]

It's free if you already have Amazon Prime. A fantastic sci-fi puzzle to solve (similar to Primer in that way but very much its own thing).

I loved Altered Carbon. Also, if you guys like anime, Psycho-Pass was really cool. If you like slow paced but atmospheric shows with a lot of connecting events and don’t mind watching a show in another language (German), then I would really recommend Dark.

They Live: John Carpenter's documentary about what yuppies and Republicans have been doing to America since 1980.

It's definitely not lesser known, but my favorite is The Expanse.

I would do unspeakable things for more stories set in the Expanse universe. The TV series should at least get another season or two in order to catch up to the last two books and I think it would be great if the authors/showrunners could explore some of the side plots more fully.

It's happening! The story directly after the show and in between the 20+ year gap to the next book is now being told in the new comic book series. The Expanse: Dragon Tooth furthers the story of where we last left off. I'm planning to get the whole volume after all the issues release.

Also, if you haven't checked into it yet, The Expanse video game from Telltale is a prequel with Cara Gee returning to once again be the voice of Camina Drummer!
