Hidden gem 90s sci-fi series with rare 100% Rotten Tomatoes score now free to watch

Sci-fi fans and lovers of shows like The Big Bang Theory can now watch a classic series from the 90s absolutely free.

The show follows some travellers as they use a wormhole to "slide" between parallel universes, and it was created by Robert K. Weiss and Tracy Tormé.

The first three seasons aired on Fox but after being cancelled, the series moved to Sci-Fi Channel for its final two seasons.

The series in question is Sliders, and its final episode was shown in February 2000. Despite its initial cancellation, it received glowing reviews from critics.

Sliders has a rare Rotten Tomatoes score of 100%, with critics hailing it "as intriguing as ever" with each season.

Flick Filosopher shared: "This is compulsively watchable popcorn TV, fluffy and fun, more compelling in the aggregate than each individual episode might be, with little clues sprinkled here and there that contribute to a larger intrigue."

The Chicago Tribune added: "It looks good, a smart, imaginative, often humorous exploration of what it would be like to be trapped traveling from one version of Earth to another, trying to get home."

Jerry O'Connell played Quinn Mallory and after Fox axed the show, he opened up about its change in focus and subsequent revival.

Speaking to Yahoo Entertainment he said: "I do think that Sci-Fi at that time was looking for darker science fiction fare with an emphasis on heavy special effects makeup.

"The people who invited us to the party left the party, and that was disorienting. Some of our cast members felt abandoned.

"Some pretty great people like Marc Zicree, Richard Compton, and David Peckinpah did come on to the show, but everything had just changed directions."

He was 25 years old when he finished the show and, after the opportunity to direct a few episodes, said he attempted to bring back its original charm.

The star added: "If you notice, in the episodes I direct, I did manage to get us back to sort of that thought-provoking, parallel-universe fun that made the show popular to begin with."

Sliders is free to watch on Pluto TV's Sci-fi Series channel now.
