Haven’t gotten to S2 of AC yet. S1 was really fun and delightfully derivative and overwrought. But I’ve heard maybe S2 isn’t nearly as good.

TV series is better. But books are good too. They’re more detailed in most cases but more clinical and less “emotional” than the shows.

I’m watching The Magicians (SyFy) on Netflix. I know this isn’t to the taste of many poeple here, and it’s not my favorite show, but *wow* does it do great storytelling. Great and disruptive character arcs. Also, it has time travel. So, sci-fi, with magic. :)

That was a very disappointing trilogy. I listened to the audiobooks assuming they were really good, like Hunger Games, given the big movie adaptations. Nope. A good idea squandered, with inferior storytelling. I wouldn’t waste your time. I recommend The Expanse TV and books much more strongly.

I enjoyed Electric Dreams. It's not great, but it's not terrible. And there were one or two I found affecting. Unfortunately, it didn't do well enough to get a second season it appears. And I'm finding that I like this new wave of anthology series (Electric Dreams. Black Mirror. Love Death Robots.)

Here’s a solid, but lesser known, sci-fi movie. The PKD short it’s based on is also decent. The Adjustment Bureau (2011) The affair between a politician and a contemporary dancer is affected by mysterious forces keeping the lovers apart. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1385826/

Never got to watch Farscape. Was a cable show and was young and couldn’t afford cable. Now, it’s blu I think. But it’s hard to go back 20+ years for sci-fi. Especially if you’re seeing new vs watching an old favorite with nostalgia.

I didn’t see Earth Final Conflict. I’m also a bit bummed I wasn’t able to consistently watch Andromeda, back in the day and missed the later seasons. I have belatedly started watching Black Mirror, which I’d call sci-fi. It’s...bleak.

I've only watched it once, during its original run. I've heard others say it hasn't held up well. Good to hear otherwise. I might try to rewatch eventually. First, these low-budget Canadian sci-fi shows are so much fun! If you haven't watched Travelers, I consider it a must-see. So...Dark...

Yes. :) It's a speculative sci-fi story grounded in character driven drama supported and influenced by a backdrop of solar politics, and factions with competing and conflicting goals. I'll argue that this is true, classic, "hard" sci fi. It posits a few scientific developments (global climate...

I can’t comprehend the view that’s there’s been no good sci-fi / fantasy / genre fiction since [pick your halcyon-colored prior decade]. It’s been an incredible couple decades for TV as a whole, and with that, there’s been delightful “genre” shows. I’ve watched at least one season of everything...

Fantastic, for TV at least.
