The Invisible Man
46 episodes (2000-02) 60m

One of the best sci-fi shows to air in recent times. Conman and thief Darien Fawkes avoids jail with a glandular implant that can render him invisible. The catch is that he'll go nuts if he doesn't get regular doses of a counteragent controlled by the "Agency" - so he turns to public service taking on all manner of spies and criminals.

Andromeda

A topnotch Gene Roddenberry brainchild - 'High Guard' ship and captain get caught in time dilation. Three centuries later a salvage-freighter finds both, but the gloriously idealistic Commonwealth has decayed and 'Slipstream' inter-planetary travel is almost forgotten. Freighter crew joins captain to establish a New Commonwealth.

Dark Angel

Genetically-enhanced humans in post-apocalyptic America escape from their military minders and head off in different directions. A corruption-busting journalist helps one of them to evade her captors and find the others of her type. Appeared set to be renewed for a third season, but unexpectedly got the axe at the last minute.

Odyssey 5
20 episodes (2002-2003) 60m

Scoring well in British cult TV polls wasn't enough to save this fine series from the axe. When the planet goes up in flames the crew of a NASA space shuttle are the only survivors. They encounter 'The Seeker', who gives them a chance to project their consciousness back in time and change the past. Lots of fun and Peter Weller is a hoot as Commander Taggart. A real shame it didn't last.

Smallville
In production (2001-present) 60m

A soapy version of the premise used in the original Superboy comics. Young Clark Kent shows up in the town of Smallville and is adopted by conscientious parent-types. Our hero faces some serious teenage angst while dealing with the fact he's not like the other kids. Pre-villainous Lex Luthor provides much of the magic.

Eureka
In production (2006-present) 60m

As the promo blurb says… small town, big secret. Colin Ferguson stars as US Marshall Jack Carter. A car accident leads him to Eureka, a safe haven research facility for the nation's greatest minds. While there are plenty of sci-fi elements to the show, it also has its quirky offbeat sides that make it a nice mix of speculative fiction genres. Great fun and a well-deserved ratings winner.

Firefly

Sci-fi western that never really took off, despite a pretty healthy budget and the input of Buffy creator Joss Whedon. Four centuries from now a violent civil war results in the formation of the Union of Planets. Our heroes don't care for the new deal and zoom around in the Firefly-class ship Serenity expressing their displeasure.

Stargate - Atlantis
In production (2004-present) 60m

Buy at Amazon USA Buy at Amazon UK

A spin-off from the popular Stargate SG1 series in which a search for the Lost City of the Ancients has uncovered Atlantis and its Stargate to another galaxy. There's new technologies, new allies and a dreaded new enemy - but the catch is the SG team that visits may not be able to get back home. It'll be tough to top the original.
