One of the best sci-fi movies in Netflix's catalog is a must-watch for viewers who loved Ryan Coogler's Sinners.
Sinners has made history by earning record-breaking nominations at the Academy Awards. While only time will tell how many of these nominations the movie will be able to convert, it has already won viewers and critics worldwide, with many hoping that it gets a sequel. Sinners' sequel's future may seem uncertain, but the ones who enjoyed its Blaxploitation themes must check out a brilliant Netflix sci-fi flick.
The Netflix sci-fi movie in question is surprisingly obscure but boasts a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score of 95%.
Watch Netflix’s They Cloned Tyrone If You Love Sinners
Sinners' setting and overarching aesthetic is more reminiscent of the 1930s era with shades of gothic horror. Netflix's They Cloned Tyrone, on the other hand, is more retro-futuristic. However, both movies thrive on building a slow sense of paranoia in audiences as its characters gradually learn the truth about what is happening to them and their people.
Directed by Juel Taylor, They Cloned Tyrone uses human cloning as a narrative device to show how a Black neighborhood is secretly manipulated and experimented on under the guise of everyday systems. The social experiment is designed to suppress individuality among the black people of the neighborhood and maintain wide systemic control.
In Sinners, vampirism is used as a similar storytelling vessel to show how exploitation can disguise itself as salvation and eventually drain autonomy and cultural identity from a marginalized community. While They Cloned Tyrone's conspiracy is rooted in high-concept science fiction and satire, Sinners' social commentary is filtered through gothic horror and music.
With so many thematic parallels between the two, it is hard not to believe that viewers who loved Sinners would also appreciate They Cloned Tyrone on Netflix.

Despite having a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score, They Cloned Tyrone never got the mainstream attention it deserves. One of the biggest reasons behind this was that it premiered around the time when the Barbenheimer cultural phenomenon was at its peak. Most viewers were so invested in Barbie and Oppenheimer that they overlooked Netflix's sci-fi gem, They Cloned Tyrone.
However, since the movie is a Netflix original, it remains available on the streaming service. The ones who have not had the opportunity to watch it yet can now see it as the perfect thematic cousin to Ryan Coogler's Sinners and appreciate it even more before Sinners makes the headlines again with its Oscar wins.
