That's why fans of the genre try to go through everything that comes out to satisfy their need for something special and not another boring rom-com.

So here are 6 perfect sci-fi shows you can binge on Hulu to feed your inner nerd.

1. Extraordinary (2023 - Present)

This new sci-fi show deservedly earned its 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. Extraordinary is a British comedy set in an alternate universe similar to the United Kingdom. The show focuses on a group of young adults struggling to get by in a world where everyone becomes super-powered.

With only one season of the show being out, the fans are already obsessing both about the plot and the performances from the cast.

2. 12 Monkeys (2015 - 2018)
