Are there any science fiction TV series you are currently in the middle of watching? I'm sure there are plenty of people watching Silo. What else are you guys watching?

Personally I've been on a bit of a Star Trek Next Generation binge. I've also recently completed the Chinese version of Three Body Problem as well as the animated Three Body Problem which is actually just The Dark Forest.

The animated Three Body Problem was kind of a let down as they strayed from the source material in a weird way and made some aspects of it a comedy as well as a love story. Hopefully if it is renewed for a season 2 they get back on course and get to some of the good stuff. There are some scenes I would love to see animated. The trailer for it was so cool too. It seemed like they knew what they were doing.

I am currently rewatching Fringe with my gf. God, it does not hold up.

Really? In what way? I just watched it a year ago and thought it was fine.

I keep meaning to rewatch Fringe someday. But I don't think it will ever compare to the first watch. It is a really great show that doesn't get as much attention as it deserves. It starts off as just some kinda neat "monster of the week" sorta show and then becomes super innovative I think a season in.

Just typing this up makes me want to watch it lol.

Annoyingly, last time I checked (a while ago), it wasn't streaming anywhere in Canada.

That is exactly what happened to me. Fringe was my favourite show back in 2009. I guess I was remembering it with rose tinted glasses. The story is fine and it is really entertaining. But the amount of plot holes it has is staggering. And the pseudo-science mumbo jumbo spewed out by Walter Bishoo gets old really fast. I guess I am just older mow and more sensible to details. But regardless of all that it is still a great bingeable show. My GF is loving it so far but even she notices a lot of the show's issues. I guess there are shows that are best kept in our memories.
