The Best Sci-Fi Series You Haven't Watched Yet: Share Your Hidden Gems Here!

I'll go with stuff I've watched, but you possibly haven't:

The Lazarus Project - Time travel. A 6-7/10.
Pantheon - AI / Excellent, although cancelled.
Severance - Brilliant. Not going to explain the plot, just watch it.
 
I don't watch a lot of sci fi shows but Farscape was cool. No one's mentioned it yet. Cheaply made sets and lots of yelling but cool lol.

Some really epic moments like the destruction of Scorpius' ship at the end of S3.
 
Orville... Its a bit Star Trekish...
Dunno if I would say it's not known, whole dedicated thread on it but definitely worth a watch if folks haven't. Folks may think it's a cheap clone , satire but season 3 and 4 are phenominaly good, hard topics and show what can be done when a creator is let loose.

Maybe not as popular, but would be known is DS9. The whole space station mechanics is really good and ds9 and Babylon 5 are in a league of their own.
 
Farscape, a series that originally aired in the late '90s and early 2000s. This show is a true hidden gem, with a unique blend of sci-fi, comedy, and drama

Dark Matter. it's a real shame that it didn't get more attention at the time.
 
Honourable mentions.

Helix
Almost Human
Extant
Terra Nova
Tomorrow People
Gosh Almost Human was good fun. I really wish they hadn't cancelled it.

I was never a big fan of Stargate Universe. It's the least fun of all the Stargate series.

Firefly was great. Don't know that it qualifies as unknown though. A tragedy that it was cancelled.
 
These are not hidden gems.... they are aside from the really big one's so big even "normies" know them the only gems there are.
