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.
Firefly definitely counts as lesser known. Op is on drugs.
I would pick Firefly, the Expanse, and Orville (for an unexpected great show.)
I agree with your choices, they’re fantastic shows. But those are definitely some of the most high-profile sci-fi shows I can think of. Those are the ones that come to mind immediately when people mention sci-fi shows, so I wouldn’t necessarily call them ‘lesser known’.
