Other smaller things worth watching are #DarkMatter and #VagrantQueen, especially if one liked #Firefly. Likewise #Farscape, although again this is far too long for one evening, especially if one liked the Stargates and some of the universe building in Riddick.

#SpacePrecinct is forgettable, although the #AlienNation series was alright (as was the #RoboCop telly spin-off, apparently, but I never saw it); but #MaxHeadroom and #DarkAngel are better if one is looking for near-future urban stuff.

Definitely watch Dark Angel if you like the Hitman and Salt movies and want to see how a telly series with #JessicaAlba got there years before and explored the ideas in a lot more depth.

There were 21st C remakes of #BionicWoman and #TheInvisibleMan that are under-remembered. For the latter: Of course the USPS has a secret service. (-:

#SciFi

@cstross

Every time that you mention that I am reminded of a German #SciFi telly program from the 1990s called #Lexx.

In the second series, a maniac ends up imploding an entire universe by filling it with Von Neumann self-replicators that are single disembodied arms and concentrating them in a single place.

Canada gave us Dark Matter. The U.S.A. gave us Vagrant Queen cancelled just when it was about to get really good, and the godawful Pandora that wasn't cancelled soon enough. Germany gave us The Lexx.

One of the characters is a sex slave who is accidentally combined with predator lizard DNA, and who sleeps with anyone but one bloke; and another is an undead mind-wiped assassin for a mad theocrat. Right up your street, I suspect. (-:

#DarkMatter #VagrantQueen

@filmfileuk

@kylo and @shaknais have suggested two of the perennial suggestions.

So let me instead suggest Vagrant Queen. That was just begging for a 2nd season that headed off in an entirely new direction.

Interestingly, I cannot think of many #UKTelly examples. More Anna Lee (detective series on ITV from the 1990s) might have been nice.

@witewulf

I suspected that I had. (-:

Conversely, I would have watched a second series of #VagrantQueen.
