      I’m about half way in, and the acting has been patchy - the guys playing Trumbull and Sims are bad, but when contrasted with Tim Robbins and Rebecca Ferguson, they come off a lot worse.

        I agree. I enjoyed most of the season, but Common (Sims) consistently ruined any immersion for me.

    The last time I tried to watch Farscape a few years ago on Netflix, the video quality was terrible. Is there a streaming service that’s better? Or should I just hunt down some blurays?

    First season of Westworld is a masterpiece. The rest of the series is pretty good (S3&4 are simultaneously fairly self contained and open ended) but it suffered from the high expectations set by the first season.

    I finished Farscape (for the first time) a couple weeks ago. Now I am binging Stargate Atlantis. It always amazes me that this show didn’t become more popular.

    I’ve never heard of For All Mankind. Good?

    And I’ll be giving Foundations a try. Never read the books but I keep hearing good things about the show.

      No, if you are referring to the image on the post this is curated from some of the most upvoted comments of last months post. It doesn’t imply much beyond these are some shows people have been watching. Many of which may be very old or very new. There seems to always be a good mix.

      Red Dwarf reboot does not make sense as it seems they are not done making episodes.

      In some way I hope someone creates a new Sci-Fi comedy that can be as long running as Red Dwarf, or make sure a Red Dwarf reboot starts in a parallel universe or something.

    Just started watching (the fanmade 4k remastered version of) Farscape. Only my second time to watch the series.

    I watched a few slightly older shows recently: Killjoys, which I really couldn’t get into, and now Dark Matter. I’m finding it a bit cliched, but I like it so far.

      I liked both of those shows and watched them when they were running. Think they aired back to back or around the same time. Maybe I’ll try a rewatch.

        They did, at least the first seasons were on back to back. Both had amazing first seasons and fell off rarher badly. Great concepts that seemed like they were under funded and could of been something special if handled properly.

        I remember being pumped thinking it was the revival of the sci-fi channel. Then it just all went to shit.

    I’m watching Foundation. Watched one episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and I might continue watching that until our subscription to Paramount Plus runs out.

    Foundation and For All Mankind, absolutely. Also planning on finishing up Star Trek TOS.

    Oh man, I remember buying the DVD set of Terminator: SCC and binging the whole thing! I’m still sad that season three never made it.

    Peripheral. Very fun sci-fi, beware: second season renewal revoked because of writers strike, unless someone else picks it up in afraid season 2 might not happen :/
