Streaming Sci‑Fi Flourishes: Arcane, Farscape, True Haunting

Streaming sci‑fi and fantasy are thriving across platforms. Netflix’s two‑season animated adaptation Arcane has been widely praised for its storytelling, character work and striking animation — and has reportedly been binged by Henry Cavill. Critics still point to classic, rewatchable episodes such as Star Trek: The Next Generation’s “The Inner Light” for denser, mind‑bending fare. Free services also offer strong picks: Tubi currently carries Jim Henson–produced Farscape, the space opera about astronaut John Crichton and the living ship Moya. Netflix’s broader sci‑fi slate includes pandemic drama The Rain, South London superpowered drama Supacell, and the James Wan–executive‑produced paranormal docuseries True Haunting, illustrating the genre’s range from intimate human stories to supernatural and superhero narratives.
