Hello /c/sciencefiction lemmies. I've put together an image of some of the most discussed shows from July 2023.
Are there any science fiction TV series you are currently in the middle of watching or plan on watching in August?
Here is last months post. What are you Watching? (July 2023)
Very nice list. I’m watching Secret Invasion, finished watching Silo (now reading the first book), and I plan to rewatch Babylon 5 to get ready for the reboot and also the new animated movie. I also intend to continue watching Star Wars Rebels (only watched the first three seasons).
Right now Strange New Worlds which has been extremely good this season following the merely OK first episode; Foundation which seems to have improved the weakest arc - the actual Foundation arc - from the first season; and Futurama which, on the evidence of the first episode, I can best characterise as being 'back'.
Good Omens, just finished like candy, Lexx, struggling, worth it ? compare to Andromeda S1...
I watched through Lexx (and then re-watched it) in the last couple of years. It's great for something silly that you can switch off to. As long as you don't take it seriously, all the innuendos and low budget scenery become fun and comfy.
Thanks, I'll take that onboard.
Strange New Worlds, and From.
Two episodes from finishing Silo. It's a solid 7/10 for me, so far.
The season is so good, but I think the show will struggle like so many more with expanding horizons, I don't want to spoil it for you, but it's basically same problem with walking dead, no matter how many seasons there is always a bigger commonuity than the ones protagonists are in. Something along those lines, we'll see what happens in s2
currently trying to finish up season 2 of the mandalorian so i can finally start season 3! problem is i've got too many shows i'm trying to work through lol.
I watched Silo on my 3-month free trial to Apple TV. Great show, 100% recommend.
Best show I've watched in a very long time. Would also be my recommendation.
Currently rewatching agents of shield, season 5 right now. As always, was floored by the Aida character, mallory jansen was phenomenal in that role, absolutely killed it.
I just started watching The Orville (Fun little story: when I went to start it I got it mixed up with The OA, and spent the whole first episode of that wondering when the spaceship was going to show up). I'm not sure I'd call it good TV, but it's enjoyable!
I've been working my through TNG. Watching every episode in order for the first time. I've always loved the show, but I only used to catch random episodes when they'd come on TV as a kid. Been slowly working my way through all of Trek for about two years. I started with ToS and it's movies, then watched The Animated Series.
Strange New Worlds, I've been watching as new episodes release, but when I heard the praise for the Lower Decks crossover, I decided to start and finish Lower Decks before I catch up on SNW. I'm about halfway through the second season of Lower Decks right now.
Discovery almost killed my interest in New Trek, but man the Orville and SNW really revived my love of Star Trek.
Once I finish Lower Decks, I'll get back up to date with SNW and keep working through TNG. Once I finish TNG, I think I'm gonna start Picard.
Oh, and I've also been keeping up with Futurama and recently watched Hello Tomorrow! And The Big Door Prize on Apple TV. They were both okay.
Me and the missus have binged "Citadel" this past week and its shaping up to be a solid sunday-show! The spinoff coming in 2024 seems fun too!
Hands to heart, citadel didn't impress me much, I think I just expect better from action after john wick and specially extraction.
Currently watching Second season of Foundation. And also started watching 3rd rock from the sun.
How do you like it? I've read the entire book series but haven't gotten into the TV series.
nothing like the books, that comes with huge shortcomings but also the best parts of the show
I've been enjoying it, but I've also never read the books, so I don't know if that factors in.
Silo is great! Cant wait for the new season. Considering reading the books before it comes out
Nice list! Thanks for that. What is "From?" Wouldn't have heard of it had I not seen this.
I'm waiting patiently each week for a new Strange New Worlds and Futurama.
