Fallout - Official Trailer | Prime Video

Fallout raked in huge ratings for the streamer and is still going strong a month after its release—so there’s a good chance most sci-fi fans have already binged it.

The Expanse

The Expanse Season 6 - Official Trailer | Prime Video

In our imaginations, The Expanse made it to nine seasons just like the novel series did. In reality, one of the best sci-fi shows ever—which started off on Syfy and then was saved from a prematurely abrupt end by Prime Video—ended after its sixth season. It’s worth the ride every time, no matter what. Watch on Prime Video.

We’re still bummed that a second season of this William Gibson adaptation was announced, then scrapped—but if you don’t mind a cliffhanger-y season finale that will forever dangle, the first and only season (created by the folks behind Fallout and Westworld) offers intriguing cyber-mysteries galore.
