I'm sorry, but you can't say #Sliders aged poorly just because there have been a couple of really good #multiverse stories since, especially since none of them have been episodic shows that take time to explore the implications of each alternate reality.

1. Sliders (1995-2000) Viewers may be bored by the multiverse now, but the chance to slide between universes via vortex-like wormholes was staggering to a 1995 audience. Lasting for five years and five seasons, Sliders follows a central group of four, each ready to move between alternate realities trying to find their path home. On this journey, various versions of Earth are encountered, from ones almost identical to their own and others that see desolate landscapes caused by changed moments in history.
