For me it comes down to Black Mirror and Fringe. . . . But I think my personal vote'll go to Fringe.

Embarrassingly, I've only seen a few from the list and haven't seen many that I've wanted to. This reminds me to watch some that I've been meaning to. I do quite like Orphan Black, though, so that would get my vote as of right now; 'great series.Oh, and nice poll!

I've only seen 3 myself, started watching a 4th today. It seems like a really good list of suggestions though, so I'll be working on it one show at a time. :)

I just outlined the whole series' watch order on my list a day or two ago, including the miniseries, web-series, etc. . . I'm looking forward to that adventure.
Thanks for your vote!

I'm really hoping that's as good as the hype suggests. I've been meaning to watch it soon.

"Series" is plural in this instance, so "are" is correct.
It's one of those words where the singular/plural form is the same, so I can't blame you.

We can only choose one favorite, so the singular veen seems right to me.

"Is" is referring to "which," not "series," so it is definitely "is." "Of these 21st century sci-fi series" is a detail clause so if you take it out of the sentence, you'd still have a complete sentence: Which is your favorite? (Whereas if you removed "which," it would not be a complete sentence: that's how you can tell to what word "is/are" refers.) It would be incorrect, of course, to say, "which are your favorite?" 'Hope that helps. :)

After explanation/elaboration, I realize that I was incorrect.
I corrected this on my list, but I can't change it on the thread so I suppose we'll have to wait for a mod or something.

I'm guessing Peter changed it on the thread post.
This list has inspired me to watch several shows that have been on my "to see" list but that I had still not seen. I saw two episodes of Sense8 and two episodes of Westworld, so far, and thought all episodes were really good. Thanks for motivating me. :)

It's not technically my list because I found it on a media site (and their choices seemed pretty thought out). It's actually inspired me to pursue more of these shows also.
I've watched three of those series since I found the list, so yeah. XD Next I'm thinking of tackling Orphan Black, The Expanse, and Westworld.

Game of Thrones is not science fiction, at least not according to the article this poll is based on.

What about Altered Carbon!? I would like to vote for Altered Carbon, but why it isn't on the poll list? Is it too new and no one is watching it yet or what?

Yeah, the poll is based on a list by IndieWire, and it was published before Altered Carbon was released.
