Are there any science fiction TV series you are currently in the middle of watching? I’m sure there are plenty of people watching Silo. What else are you guys watching?

Personally I’ve been on a bit of a Star Trek Next Generation binge. I’ve also recently completed the Chinese version of Three Body Problem as well as the animated Three Body Problem which is actually just The Dark Forest.

The animated Three Body Problem was kind of a let down as they strayed from the source material in a weird way and made some aspects of it a comedy as well as a love story. Hopefully if it is renewed for a season 2 they get back on course and get to some of the good stuff. There are some scenes I would love to see animated. The trailer for it was so cool too. It seemed like they knew what they were doing.

    Just binged Severance, which was really good. Now I’m watching through Star Trek Next Gen, getting towards the end of season 2.

      That is a ton of things to be watching all at once. Have you ever seen these shows in the past or is this your first time watching them?

        I’ve watched some episode of all of them here and there over the years. I’m disabled and don’t work so I have plenty of time to kill watching them. I binge so many shows so that I don’t get bored with watching just one straight through. It took me 3 months to watch all 7 seasons of TNG. SNW is easy since I’ve been watching the series since it started, so catch a new episode weekly.

    Only loosely related to sci-fi, but I just finished Station 11 (twice) and think it might be the best TV show I’ve ever seen. I nitpick details and plot holes in stuff I watch all the time, and Station 11 just… didn’t have any. It’s the most well thought, cohesive story I’ve seen in ages. Watch it a second time and your mind will be blown at all the little details that crisscross perfectly across the entire arc.

    The characters behave like real people. The acting is incredible. The score is perfection. It’s a masterpiece.

        Silo seemed kind of uneven and slow to me, but according to posters who read the books, the first book is a lot of exposition and character building, so I guess it follows the books. I just hope it pays off!

    Like a lot of people I presume I’m watching the season 2 of Star Trek Strange New Worlds. And it’s good.

      Is it any good? I watched season 1 of discovery and the first season of picard and those combined put me off so haven’t bothered with any star trek stuff for a while.

        Yup. Discovery was nonsense really, and while the only season of Picard that was good was the last one, SNW is awesome from the very start. It’s almost like old star trek going down to planets in shuttles and stuff. Really enjoyable.

          I’ll need to check it out. They seem to want to turn star trek into an action focused thing now, I like some action but I also like sci fi that makes you think about life.

    I’m currently partway through the first season of From. So far its a good mixture of monsters + mystery + sheer WTF. I just hope it continues to be coherent and eventually leads the viewers to a conclusion that, if not “reasonable”, at least follows some sort of consistent internal logic. That’s the part that typically winds up disappointing me in shows like this, so… fingers crossed, but so far so good.

      I’ve enjoyed From so far, for the same reasons you describe… but it really needs to clear up some of its loose ends, otherwise it’ll end up like Lost.

      At the moment, it’s a lot of “hey! look at this crazy thing! I wonder what it could be… oooo?”, and not a lot of “so this was actually…”

        “and not a lot of “so this was actually…”” That’s exactly what I’m afraid of. These types of shows just don’t work without that part!
