7 Near-Perfect Prime Video Sci-Fi Shows that Hook You in the First Scene
Sci-fi comes in all flavors, including ones that are addictive.
1. Nathan Brown (Robbie Amell) dies in an accident and is uploaded to a virtual afterlife, where he struggles to adjust to his new existence, aided by his girlfriend Nora (Andy Allo).
2. The show Upload, created by Greg Daniels (The Office, King of the Hill), uses the concept of consciousness transfer and satirizes the commercialization of the afterlife, complete with microtransactions, spam, and data limits.
3. Tales from the Loop takes place in Mercer, Ohio, a town with an underground facility known as the Loop, where time travel and body swaps are possible but the focus is on human relationships and mortality against a fantastical backdrop.
4. Undone features Alma (Rosa Salazar), who, after a fatal car crash, discovers she is "unstuck in time." Her late father Jacob (Bob Odenkirk) urges her to use this ability to solve his death, altering her perception of reality.
5. Night Sky follows elderly couple Franklin (J. K. Simmons) and Irene (Sissy Spacek) who repeatedly visit a device that teleports them to a night sky chamber on other worlds, but a mysterious visitor named Jude (Chai Hansen) introduces a multi-generational conspiracy and secret society.
