Without a doubt, sci-fi is one of the most popular genres out there, with millions of fans spending countless hours watching popular shows like "Star Trek" and Disney's "Star Wars" series. However, the notion that sci-fi shows are always massive and require a lot of attention and careful study of confusing lore couldn't be less true.

There are plenty of sci-fi shows that are short enough to probably be binge-watched in a single day. And even though their runtimes are considerably shorter than those of the genre's behemoths, they are still worth watching for their mind-bending storylines and unique settings.

Here are 10 must-watch short sci-fi series:

We decided to include only the most unique sci-fi shows on this list, no matter how obscure and little-seen they may be. Good sci-fi needs bold ideas to stand out from the competition, and every single entry on this list offers fans unique observations and compelling plots that make a day-long binge feel inviting, not exhausting.

Of course, some of the shows mentioned above are not yet finished, with only one season's worth of content available to the public. But that doesn't mean you should skip them, because those few episodes are actually worth more than some shows' 10-year runs.
