By shielding topics in an otherworldly unreality, sci-fi has the capacity to dig deep into the most difficult, uncomfortable, and even appalling parts of our nature, nations, and selves. To better understand the impacts of sci-fi on our culture,Stackerpulled data on all sci-fi series of all time and ranked them according toIMDbuser ratings as of Jan. 13, 2020), with #1 being the best. To qualify, the series had to have at least 10,000 votes and be in the English language. Limited series were also considered. The best sci-fi tells stories with vision, ambition, drama, and even, many times, humor.In the mid-20th century, Rod Serling’s TV series “The Twilight Zone” showed network viewers what could happen to our ability to be civil in the face of nuclear fallout—or how our own prejudices and fears might turn us into the very monsters we seek to avoid. By 1966, Gene Roddenberry was using “Star Trek”to explore how a nation can be a force for good without becoming imperialist. And in the 1990s, Chris Carter’s “The X-Files”concerned itself with our own government’s overreach. Today,sci-fi confronts us over and over again with a familiar question: How will cultural shifts and advancing technology transform our society? Incredibly, Roddenberry’s “Star Trek”—along with many others on this list—was unsuccessful at the time it aired, building an army of devoted fans over time. These 50 shows rarely broke rating records; but those who loved them, loved them intensely as is evidenced by cosplay, conventions, letter-writing campaigns, marathon showings, and evenmobs hounding McDonald’s for Szechuan sauce. Let’s boldly go from #50 to #1.

While some people are outraged by the fact that Walmart CEO Doug McMillon raked in more than 1,000 times what his median employee made in 2017, others argue that the ratio is justified and not indicative of a problem in need of rectifying. Alex Edmans of the Harvard Business Review likens the discrepancy to that of a band’s lead singer and bassist, alluding to the fact that people who perform tasks of varying levels of importance in a company ought to receive compensation that reflects these differing contributions. Using data from the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations, Stacker listed the 100 highest-paid CEOs in the United States according to what they made in 2019 or 2020. The data is accurate as of Jan. 14, 2021, and any changes in the company or its CEO are noted with an asterisk. Read on to see how much the chief executives of top companies made.
