The Two Biggest Sci-Fi Franchises On TV Face The Same Existential Crisis

It’s natural to think the most popular science fiction shows are doing well right now, and when it comes to influential franchises on television, Star Trek and Doctor Who are at the top. Both shows started in the 1960s and essentially created the sci-fi genre as we know it, and they’ve both successfully updated themselves for today’s audiences. Recently, Star Trek has been praised for its series Strange New Worlds, while new episodes of Doctor Who starring Ncuti Gatwa, like “Boom” and “The Well,” have also been highly acclaimed.
