Sci-fi shows on most other streaming platforms are hit or miss, butApple TV+seems to consistently hit it out of the park with the genre. Almost all major streamers seem to have their own sets of valuable sci-fi IPs, highlighting how the genre has an evergreen and universal appeal.
However, more often than not, sci-fi shows on most streaming sites struggle to leave their mark in the overcrowded content landscape. With shows likeHello TomorrowandSee, Apple TV+, too, has experienced similar hiccups, proving that not all sci-fi shows on the streamer have been massive hits.
Apple TV+ still seems to be a dominant force in the sci-fi streaming space because, more often than not, its television additions to the genre perform incredibly well. Each year, the streaming service adds new, highly innovative sci-fi shows to its repertoire, and, fascinatingly, almost all additions receive universal acclaim.
