Right now you can watch Another Life in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Netflix — and it goes further with its ideas than most genre entertainment bothers to. Across 2 seasons, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. A 6/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Katee Sackhoff sets the tone, and the world-building does the rest. Available now on Netflix — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Another Life is worth clearing space for. Another Life treats its concept seriously enough to follow it all the way through. After a massive alien artifact lands on Earth, Niko Breckinridge leads an interstellar mission to track down its source and make first contact. Katee Sackhoff and Justin Chatwin lead a cast that keeps the bigger ideas grounded in something human. 2 seasons (2019–2021) gave the story room most shows never get. What separates Another Life from lesser genre entertainment is a willingness to let the concept cost the characters something. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Another Life is satisfying on multiple levels — something to watch and something to think about after. Viewers who responded to Battlestar Galactica will find a lot to like here too. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. Katee Sackhoff grounds the bigger ideas in something human. Once you are in, you will want to talk about it.

Another Life was cancelled in 2021, created by Aaron Martin — and 2 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
