As a scifi buff: Battlestar Galactica, and The Expanse were excellent. Nightsky was also a really good watch even though it was slow moving, and was more about relationships than SciFi
The Expanse is magnificent. And they are at the perfect time to get certain actors back to continue with the Laconia story in the last three books. I want it so badly.
At least they ended up on a fairly logical point if not. But I still wonder why they included the Strange Dogs novella if they knew that’s the last season.
Have thought the same. Its inclusion doesn’t indicate anything will happen, but it does seem intended to allow such a thing by providing some continuity over a long break.
I guess it could otherwise just be a brief apology to readers. “Sorry we aren’t getting to this.” But I remain hopeful.
I’m sure that at least some of the people who worked on it hoped it’d be continued in the future in some form. I honestly don’t know how it hasn’t been. It’s not like it wasn’t well received. Maybe it wasn’t as profitable as the studio wanted, but that’s a matter of cutting costs. You don’t have to drop the whole thing. With the game coming out, there’s clearly interest in it still.
Just watched the first episode of Night Sky. So far it strikes me as a really good psychological drama about getting old. Not a lot of sci-fi stuff yet.
J.K. Simmons is a really good actor, especially by American standards. I’d say he’s on the level of a good Scandinavian or British actor.
Anyway, I might just have to binge this. Thanks for the recommendation!
Edit: The mysterious sci-fi stuff gets interesting around episode 4
On an emotional and psychological level, I thought the show led to a pretty satisfying conclusion. Viewers should not expect to have any off their questions about the sci-fi stuff or the intrigue answered, though. Too bad it was cancelled after one season!
But I can see why it didn’t gain a massive audience. It’s too slow and psychological for a lot of sci-fi fans, yet it has too much silly sci-fi stuff for fans of realistic psychological dramas. The Spanish parts with subtitles may also have put off a few English-speaking viewers.
If you l like J.K. Simmons, character development and science fiction, you should check out Counterpart, if you haven’t seen it already. It’s a solid spy thriller where the main plot device is a cool sci-fi concept.
Knowing anything about the story beforehand will tell you about this plot device, which is a bit of a spoiler for the first episode.
dint really like reimagined, the showrunner was obsessed with making it god arc, heard he had religious leanings, and hated it enough to not include the advanced tech of the original series. it was good until the writer strikes happened.

I want to believe they will finish the Expanse.

I’m 60% through the last book, it’s so good!
Oh please oh please oh please‽
There was a reason they killed off Alex…

Its lo-fi scifi. Great character development story though
Just finished watching. I give it an 8/10.

😀 Glad you enjoyed the journey. Yeah, I had hoped for Season 2 to see where it was all headed…oh well

Thanks I had forgotten about this (on my list). Edit. Yes I did watch this, it was a great show.
How about Real Humans/Äkta människor? It’s a Swedish show about androids. Good drama and acting. IMO better than the British adaptation, Humans.
That I haven’t seen. Thanks!
