Science fiction has also experienced a resurgence in popularity thanks to the many screen adaptations that have emerged over the past decade. While many great sci-fi works have already been adapted to screen or stage, several are still waiting for their adaptation.

It usually the first series that comes to mind when I think of smart, suspenseful space opera that deserves adaptation.
