Any good sci-fi tv show in a while?

Original Star Trek.

The older I get, the more astonished I am at the quality of the overall presentation - acting, writing, story, directing, musical cues, themes. I didn't really appreciate these 50 years ago when I was a kid, but now that I've been an adult for over 40 years, I see the brilliance of what they did.

Unfortunately, now it is almost impossible to see original original Star Trek; now you have "remastered" shit everywhere and that often ruins the quality of the presentation. Some of the effects made more sense in their original form.

Last night, I was watching the Season 1 episode "Balance of Terror". I was flipping channels and just stopped when that came on because it is such a great episode; definitely one of the 10 best and I highly recommend it.

The humanity of the beginning and ending... (Two members of the crew are getting married at the beginning.)
The subtle hints towards feminism - that women can do what the men can (despite those fantastically short skirts).
The not-so-subtle hints about bigotry and overcoming it.
The cat-and-mouse tactics; two captains trying to outwit each other and surviving. These men might have been friends had they been on the same side...

It's brilliant stuff - stuff I never really appreciated as a kid but, looking back, helped me not grow up to be a racist or misogynist like the bulk of young conservative men here are.

It's on hiatus for the summer, but I've been liking La Brea. I think it's on NBC and I think that it's had two seasons already.

Not bad for a network show.

None that I can think of, and there used to be quite a few. In any case, I no longer care about TV shows, because the producers of them all try to condescendingly preach to us about the virtues of virtue-signalling; they're used as soap-boxes to propagandise extreme left-wing ideology, and I don't need that bullshit in my life!

Black Mirror on Netflix. Their coming out with a new season soon. Can't wait!

[richardcory]

I didn't realize there was a new season. Black mirror is awesome - and sometimes deeply disturbing.

I thought San Junipero was one of the best episodes ever. So happy - yet not.

[Simslover92]

Yeah that's one of my favorites as well!

I like west world, it's very deep so it's not for people who doesn't want to think. The expanse is great sadly it's stuck on a specific streaming service.

[goaded]

You can get it on discs as well. I just watched the first season, and it was good. I heard that later seasons went downhill.

[Adam1978]

If we talk expanse only the three first season are available. Nothing after that. West world is available. And besides 2nd session which is just a outer loop of the first session again. Which makes it kind of bad. I enjoyed 3rd and is currently watching 4th.

I've been watching "The Ark" I like that. The first season just wrapped on it. If you like post apocalyptic or cyberpunk or sci-fi shows that deal with space exploration/human nature you'd probably like this.

Oh heaps and heaps of super good sci-fi tv shows both old and new. Would take a while to write them all

I have been watching Picard on Paramount Plus. It is not as good as season One but I am only halfway through it.

[ZXCwWRQWz]

Severance is amazing! It's a masterpiece of escalating suspense.

[DarkCarousel]

Black Mirror is good. Stranger Things.

[MementoMori777]

I'm going to assume you already watched star wars

[MementoMori777]

If so then watch black mirror, I think you are gonna find it... interesting 😂
