5 Most Suspenseful Dramas on Apple TV+ Every Sci-Fi Fan Must Explore

Science fiction is one of the most popular genres in the world. Unfortunately, there are just too many bad sci-fi productions out there. So if you're looking for something exciting to watch, these five Apple TV+ shows are for you.

Invasion (2021-present, 2 seasons, 6.2 on IMDb)

Using the classic sci-fi trope created by Herbert G. Wells in The War of the Worlds, the show follows an alien invasion of Earth that threatens humanity's existence. Unlike the 2005 Tom Cruise film inspired by Wells' novel, the series does not feature a single protagonist. Instead, Invasion revolves around various people from around the world as they experience the chaos caused by the alien visit.

Constellation (2024, 1 season, 7.0 on IMDb)

The newest sci-fi series on Apple TV+ follows Jo Ericsson, an astronaut who returns to Earth after a tragic accident in space, only to find that the world and her life are different than the one she left behind. As she searches for answers and tries to rebuild the missing pieces of her life, Jo must discover the truth about space travel. Episode 8 will premiere on March 27.

See (2019-2022, 3 seasons, 7.6 on IMDb)

Starring Jason Momoa and Alfre Woodard, this post-apocalyptic dystopia is set in a world torn apart by a mysterious virus that has killed most of its people, leaving the survivors without the ability to see. In fact, so many generations have been born without sight that it's considered a myth. But one day, twin siblings who can see are born to a remote tribe, threatening the new order of the world.

For All Mankind (2019-present, 4 seasons, 8.1 on IMDb)

This sci-fi series is set in an alternate universe where the space race never ended and the Soviet Union was the first to successfully send its people to the moon. Eager to match that feat, the U.S. pours tons of money into the space program, training astronauts that include women and minorities, thanks to the Soviet policy of equality that the American government wants to keep up appearances with. Beginning in the 1970s, each subsequent season of the show takes place a decade later, further exploring the space race and its aftermath.

Silo (2023-present, 1 season, 8.1 on IMDb)

Last year's hit adaptation of Hugh Howey's Wool, Shift, and Dust novels caused a sensation when it premiered. Set in a post-apocalyptic world where ten thousand survivors are confined to a massive underground bunker called the Silo, where they live by strict rules designed to protect them, the series centers on Juliette Nichols, an engineer in charge of the Silo's generators. She is content with her life, but one day she discovers the secrets of the Silo's past and begins to question whether what she has been taught about the world is true.
