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.

I've been working my way through The Expanse again. I couldn't get into the books for some reason, despite being an avid SFF reader, but I love the show. (It happens to me for some reason--most of Gaiman's works I'm meh about in book form but like on the big screen. Same deal with Game of Thrones--never got through the books in HS, even though I was reading other big fat fantasy at the time, but found the series...until the last few seasons...good.

Anyway. The Expanse probably the only SFF show I've encountered that actually feels like lit SF.

And for me, given most movie/TV SFF is a deacde or more behind lit SFF in ideas, it's nice to actually see the types of stories made into a show.
