From Westworld to Black Mirror and The 100, they all are one of the most addictive Sci-Fi shows ever. Their concepts and storyline are interesting enough to get you hooked after watching a few episodes. Besides, the reason why most people love Sci-Fi TV series is the imagination and creativity from the shows. Among them, The 100 is my preferred Sci-Fi show because I'm more interested in the combat between different civilizations 100 years later after nuclear apocalypse destroyed the world.

If you love the original style of Sherlock Holmes, you probably will hate Elementary.
