Severance Got You Hooked? Here Are 3 Sci-Fi Gems on Netflix to Ease the Wait

Apple TV ’s Severance has been back on track for a couple of days since the hit series returned to the platform with its brand new second season. It is indeed good news for those who have been waiting for Severance's comeback for almost 3 years, but binge-watching isn’t an option here — Apple TV is once again sticking to its preferred system, releasing a new episode every week.

However, things aren’t that bad and there’s plenty of Severance-like shows out there — and you’re especially lucky if you have a Netflix subscription to use.

Maniac Is a Star-Studded Sci-Fi Mystery That Also Deals with Tricky Mind Games

Severance’s fans who enjoy the show’s conception of mysterious tricks that the human brain can get into will surely get addicted to a 2018 mini-series Maniac starring Emma Stone and Jonah Hill.

The plot follows Annie Landsberg and Owen Milgrim, two complete strangers whose stories intertwine when they both sign up for a pretty weird, but promising procedure coming as guinea pigs for a new drug which allegedly helps erase all the human pain.

As expected, nothing goes according to plan, and step by step Maniac starts playing with its viewer’s mind, too — the show’s fans have been vocal about its wild plot twists which will leave new fans perplexed for at least a couple of weeks after finishing the series.

Dark Will Keep You Hooked Till the Very End

This Netflix hit will find a lot of attention from those who loved Severance’s intriguing atmosphere of the omnipresent conspiracy vibe. Originally a German sci-fi thriller, Dark explores a sinister time travel notion that exposes itself to dysfunctional characters once children in a fictional German town start disappearing.

The mysterious chain of events will eventually reveal a not less mysterious connection between four different families, multiple generations of which were once known to have a deeper knowledge about time travel.

Having been captivating millions of fans’ attention for 3 seasons straight, Dark came to its end in 2020, yet it’s still one of the most Intricate sci-fi shows released in the last few years.

Black Mirror Is a Long-Standing Sci-fi Classic

There’s a little chance that Severance’s fans haven’t made it to at least a couple of episodes of Black Mirror so far. The show consists of the whole variety of stories with every single one of them unfolding during one episode, and it’s fair to say that each next plot line is even more intimidating than the previous one.

Black Mirror masterfully blends sci-fi with real-life problems we all face every day, something that makes even a 14-year-old first season as relevant as it gets to.
