Been watching Silo, loved the books and really like the show. The author had a lot of input into his season. He wrote the first but as a short story and he was glad to be able to revisit the early parts and flesh it out more. Good to hear there’s a second season. I’m eagerly awaiting Foundation season 2 which starts next month! I’ve been watching Black Mirror in small doses. I do want to check out the New Trek sometime soon, too.
I recently watched the first 3 episodes of the new season of Black Mirror. That 2nd episode though.. it seemed like it had nothing to do with Black Mirror and was basically just a horror film.
Black Mirror lost me when I saw Miley Cyrus in a fighting game.
The robo dog episode, shut up and dance, that’s some good shit.
Foundation was the biggest let down. It has no connection to books, except for its name.
Like a lot of people I presume I'm watching the season 2 of Star Trek Strange New Worlds. And it's good.
i've really enjoyed the Orville. It tries to find itself the first season but really evolves into a truly wonderful show.
The Orville is great
If you told me that a Seth MacFarlane Trek-like series would give me genuine moments of excitement, tears, and theorizing, I wouldn't have believed you. But here we are!
I finally got through and began the Expanse proper :)
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.
I've been slowly working my way through Stargate, midway through season 3 right now. It's almost refreshing how shamelessly they reuse old Star Trek plots and tropes, but it kind of works because the show doesn't seem to take itself as seriously as Star Trek does either.
More serious than SG-1 or Atlantis, but Universe will always hold a dear place in my heart as an actual space exploration show. Supposedly there's a streaming series in early negotiation right now.
I've been watching through Babylon 5 for the first time and it's so good. I was aware of it when it was running in the 90s but I wasn't big into scifi TV shows at that point. I've watched through Star Trek TNG like 3 times (until they took it off Netflix) and The Orville twice (until I cancelled Hulu).
After I get through Babylon 5 I will choose between X-Files and Stargate SG-1, two other 90s shows I slept on. Overall I'm loving this. Because it's all new to me, and yet it's nostalgic at the same time. I remember the ads for all these shows, I recognize a lot of the actors from other things.
Clone Wars!
Silo. It’s a decent show despite the wooden acting from Common. Looking forward to season 2.
I was rewatching sliders for a while. Corny, but it reminds me of my childhood
Sliders is great, except for the last season or two. I rewatch it every five years or so.
Star Trek Stange New Worlds, Silo, Babylon 5 (again), From, and Futurama (again)
I'm currently watching stargate again.
Got the theme song stuck in my head the other day and it made me realize it's probably time for a rewatch.
Just binged Severance, which was really good. Now I'm watching through Star Trek Next Gen, getting towards the end of season 2.
As far as newish stuff goes, I've been watching Silo, which is pretty entertaining. Better than I expected from AppleTV.
Also just watched S2 of Raised By Wolves. S2 got off to a really rocky start. Honestly I flat-out hated ep1; feels like they needed a mulligan. But it got me hooked a few episodes in.
Strange New Worlds has pretty entertaining though the pace of the courtroom episode seemed a little off (almost like they thought I was too dumb to get it so they had to eliminate any subtlety), and I watched some TNG in the gap between Picard and SNW.
Only made it a couple episodes into Hello Tomorrow before I couldn't stand it anymore.
I remember liking Severance but I think it's been quite a while. I think there might be a new season soon?
Silo, Strange New Worlds, Secret Invasion, and Foundation.
Really liking Foundation so far, I wish we’d watched it sooner.
I am currently rewatching Fringe with my gf. God, it does not hold up.
Really? In what way? I just watched it a year ago and thought it was fine.
Star Blazers 2199 (aka Space Battleship Yamato)
I just finished my annual rewatch of Battlestar Galactica. Right now I’m going through Caprica.
Rewatching The Sopranos with my wife who is watching for the first time. I remembered a lot of the first and last seasons all these years, but forgot a lot of the in-between, which I've been enjoying.
The leftovers
Currently watching Strange New Worlds and Halt and Catch Fire. Will likely check out Silo in the near future.
Just bought the full box set of Babylon 5 and started watching from the beginning. Never had the opportunity to see all the episodes in order, and never got to finish it. Here’s hoping!
