Are there any science fiction TV series you are currently in the middle of watching or plan on watching in August?

I've finally watched Firefly, and I never would've thought how much I could like a show that was canceled before even finishing the first season. Gonna watch Serenity tonight, to get that final bit of Firefly-goodness.

I watched a few episodes of The Expanse before dropping it, and I'm going to give it another try after liking Firefly so much.

Please do watch the expanse 😉 but the first season can be a little slow at least the first half of the season.

[–] ours@lemmy.film 5 points 1 year ago

Slow but absolutely necessary. As the stakes grow bigger, knowing the players that well pays off so good.

Yup can confirm. I after the last season of the expanse, I really had to just read novels. Me who hardly read books after age of 25. It's just so good. Expanse physics is relatively speaking so realistic. No magical convinient inertia or gravity.

There not being anymore Firefly is always sad whenever I think about it. I noticed there was a series of books when I was in the bookstore the other day. I have no idea if they are directly related or not. It must at least be in the same universe.

If they were the Serenity graphic novels, yes. Those were written by Joss.

[–] Izzy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

These ones were novels. It looks like Joss was only an editor for them.

If you can, keep going on the Expanse. I think seasons 2 and 3 are some of the best sci-fi ever made.

I love Firefly. Nothing to add about that, just wanted to state that.
