My favorite genre for TV Shows is Sci-Fi. I love alternate realities and I always imagining myself living in the setting of the show I'm watching. These are my absolute favorite Sci-Fi shows that I rewatch all the time because I cannot get enough of them. If you have any suggestions for me, feel free to comment!
1. Battlestar Galactica (2004 Reboot)
Man-made Cylons rebelled against their human creators in a civil war. This show is set during the second Cylon-Human war after the Twelve Colonies have been destroyed by the Cylons. The humans, almost completely wiped out, are setting out to find the legendary thirteenth colony: Earth. The Cylons are bent on revenge and want nothing more but complete annihilation of the human race. Treachery and struggle will have you clung to the edge of your seat while the fleet jumps through the galaxy looking for their new home.
You'll feel like Fred and Carrie from Portlandia when they watched Battlestar Galactica for the first time.

2. LOST
After a plane crash survivors find themselves on a strange, seemingly deserted tropical island. They are forced to work together to survive as they wait for help to arrive. The island grows more and more odd each episode and incredible coincidences shroud each character every episode. You might have to watch this show a few times (for your own viewing pleasure-I have watched it four times!)
