I'm really into sci-fi. Constantly craving new content. Internet searches filled with if you like this sci-fi show, here are others you might like.

Farscape kept getting recommended. Muppets in space, how could I take that seriously?

Finally gave it a shot. Thank you, internet, for suggesting it repeatedly, awesome show.

If you read or listen to sci-fi books i highly highly recommend the latest book from Andy Weir. It's called project hail Mary and it's fucking amazing. The main character never swears when stuff goes wrong, which is kinda weird at first until you learn that he was a school teacher, but that is the biggest criticism I have of the book. It isn't even a real criticism either. It's an amazing book imo.

The expanse as well. Listening to it on audiobook (sans book 4 which I'm slogging through because the reader changed and he's terrible).

I listened to the audiobook while driving cross-country. If you like audiobooks this one was very well done!
