While J.J. Abrams' deal with HBO Max has earned notoriety for its lack of output, the prolific producer released a string of genre shows on network television in the 2000s. This was around the same time he was blowing up as a feature film director following his successful Star Trek reboot in 2009. After co-creating landmark shows such as Lost, Fringe, and Alias, Abrams served as an executive producer on several shows in the 2010s. Most of them — such as the sci-fi drama Alcatraz, the post-apocalyptic thriller Revolution, and the crime drama Almost Human — were short-lived. One show, however, ran for five successful seasons. It recently returned to global Netflix charts, 15 years after its premiere on CBS.
