Shows that feel likeLost in Space (2018–2021)

After crash-landing on an alien planet, the Robinson family fights against all odds to survive and escape. But they're surrounded by hidden dangers.

If you loved Lost in Space, the closest series we have are Stargate Universe (2009), Star Trek: Enterprise (2001) and Ahsoka (2023). All three share Lost in Space's cerebral and dreamlike feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Dark Matter (2015).
