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?

I did this recently with my wife, who'd never seen it. I love the show; I think there's some fluff. It followed a sitcom schedule of 20+ episode seasons for a while and they can't all be great.

Eventually I looked up and pulled out specific episodes to show my wife, because there are the classics. The episode with the Peacock family, Home, I recall.watching Sunday night after the Simpsons at 9 years old and being woefully under prepared mentally and emotionally, and my dad questioning his parentening, but the episode was just wayyy beyond anything the show had done. Haunted me as a kid and I don't recall but I probably ended up taking dad's spot in bed, maybe a penance for him letting me watch.

I wasn't watching TV when the X files came out. Is there a list of shows to watch? I found a recommended list of Buffy (at least which shows were important at the beginning) when I finally saw that.

There are definitely some best of lists out there, ranging from top 10 up to 50 episodes, which nowadays is 4-5 seasons' worth, especially considering the episodes are 40+ minutes.

You might search on the goog with the name of a popular website known for lists. This list covers my favorites and a few that I can't specifically recall. And 25 is a good number.

There's a few episodes where the show steps outside of itself and takes on a more humorous tone, and they're must see. Some are more scary. Some filled with solid mystery.
