An incredible 10-year sci-fi drama is now available to stream in its entirety on Netflix
‘The best series I’ve ever seen’ with 10 seasons is the perfect Netflix binge
Netflix recently made available all 10 series of one of the most gripping sci-fi dramas on television, offering viewers more than 200 episodes to devour.
First aired in 1997 and broadcast on Showtime and subsequently the Sci Fi Channel until 2007, the show is based on a cult classic science fiction film that spawned a beloved and captivating franchise.
Widely considered one of the best examples of the genre in recent decades, Stargate SG-1 is ideal for viewers looking for an expansive, binge-worthy new drama.
While the show features otherworldly concepts and apocalyptic stakes, it has endured because of its realistic human drama that centers on a military unit fighting extraterrestrial dangers across the galaxy.
Starring Richard Dean Anderson, Michael Shanks, Amanda Tapping and Christopher Judge, the extraordinary story begins with the discovery that an ancient alien civilization had kidnapped human slaves millennia ago and are now posing as the deities of Ancient Egypt, the Express reports.

Over the course of 10 remarkable series, the SG-1 unit faces off against the Goa’uld, along with other formidable alien species, including the Replicators and the Ori, while navigating their complicated personal relationships and the heartbreaking consequences of war.
Achieving an impressive 94 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the show’s devoted fan base has only intensified in the nearly two decades since its epic conclusion. One RT user praised the series as “One of the best sci-fi shows of all time!” in a glowing five-star review, while another agreed: “Best series I’ve ever seen. The gold standard of science fiction.”
Another viewer chimed in: “The gold standard for sci-fi television. At times sarcastic, dramatic and all of the above, it’s a must see.”
On IMDb, the praise continued, with one user calling Stargate SG-1 “one of the best sci-fi series of all time” and adding, “I nominate this and BABYLON 5 as the best sci-fi TV series ever made.

“In my opinion, both stand out because, unlike the first STAR TREK series, there is a constant evolution of the plots and characters.
“To truly appreciate SG-1, you have to watch it from the beginning and see how intricate the plots work. This consistency gives the show exceptional staying power. And, if you don’t like SG-1 after giving it a fair chance, then science fiction is probably NOT the genre for you.”
One last fan raved: “This series is one of the best sci-fi series ever made. All the characters are very likable. The story never gets boring throughout the 200 episodes.

“They always find a new way to keep the series going without abandoning the old plot to start a new one. The old arcs always continue to have a presence throughout the series. It’s worth watching, then watching again, and maybe one more.”
