21 Years Later, "One of the Best Sci-Fi Series Ever Made" That Redefined the Genre Makes a Comeback on Digital Streaming

In the late 90s and early 2000s, the sci-fi genre was undoubtedly going through a major evolution on television that saw it switch from the bright and optimistic to a grittier, more realistic tone. Shows like Quantum Leap and Sliders, which had worked in the past, seemed out of place in a world that was undergoing a cultural shift as we entered the new millennium, and certainly in a post-9/11 universe where everything became morally ambiguous. While shows like Farscape and Andromeda tried their best to bring an air of prestige to the genre, it wasn't until 2004 that a series came along to completely change the game. Now, 21 years later, it's once again a hit thanks to digital streaming.
