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)

    Strange new Worlds. I think it’s the best Star Trek series since the original. I don’t think the casting is particularly great, but Anson Mount makes up for it. Like William Shatner was born to be Captain Kirk, Anson Mount was born to be Captain Pike.

    They Cloned Tyrone is a surprise for me. Great modern scifi/blaxploitation film, though I have about 30 minutes left to finish.

    Finally finding the time to finishAndor and what the fuck?! How is it so good???

      Andor is SOOOOO GOOD. Andy Serkis straight up made me cry. (I have the last couple of episodes still to go so no spoilers pls lol)

      But the characters, the writing, the acting, the storylines and the theeeeeemmes omg. It’s like a dramatic embodiment of Seeing Like a State.

    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!

    Recently started a TNG rewatch and was surprised how many good episodes were actually in seasons 1 and 2.

    Edit: Why did autocorrect turn seasons into dragons?

    A friend wanted to show my SO and I Twelve Monkeys (the TV series) badly enough to buy the whole thing as a box set, so the three of us have been working our way through it, we’re in season 2 now - it’s been a lot of fun

    Electric Dreams

    It was recommended to me as “what [Black Mirror] should have been.”

    I binged the first five episodes a week after the newest season of Black Mirror was released and the remaining five just this week.

    I want to watch foundation and silo, but want to try reading them first. Unfortunately, I don’t think I have any good sci-fi to watch at the moment other than those two.

      Frankly, you’ll enjoy Foundaton more if you don’t read the books first. Otherwise, you’ll be sitting there shaking you head wondering why they continuously mangle the core concept of the books so badly, despite characters occasionally directly stating how it works (only for the same episode otherwise showing utter disregard for said statement)

    I watched Silo on my 3-month free trial to Apple TV. Great show, 100% recommend.
