Apple TV Plus is turning into the best place for streaming sci-fi

Now you can add Dark Matter to the list.

So far, I’ve watched the first two episodes, and it manages to merge the tone of a tense thriller with the mind-bending nature of time travel, creating the kind of story that intentionally makes you feel unmoored. Instead, the service’s sci-fi bona fides have come from largely unexpected and original shows, like a workplace thriller about scary numbers and baby goats or an alien invasion story that isn’t afraid to take its time. There are adaptations of Martha Wells’ The Murderbot Diaries and William Gibson’s Neuromancer coming, alongside a series where Rashida Jones solves mysteries with an emotional support robot.
