With that in mind, here are the best sci-fi, fantasy and comic-book themed TV shows from the past 12 months. (And yes, we're including the finale season of Game of Thrones - it wasn't that bad!)
The following 17 shows were all released in 2019. Some, like The Witcher, only appeared a few weeks ago. To make life easier, we've included which streaming service you can watch them on. (Quite a few are also available to purchase on DVD or through iTunes/Google Play.)
