    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.

    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.

    I've been binging Lower Decks and looking forward to the new season, it's really a solid show and is definitely more than it seems.

    I've been working my through TNG. Watching every episode in order for the first time. I've always loved the show, but I only used to catch random episodes when they'd come on TV as a kid. Been slowly working my way through all of Trek for about two years. I started with ToS and it's movies, then watched The Animated Series.

    Strange New Worlds, I've been watching as new episodes release, but when I heard the praise for the Lower Decks crossover, I decided to start and finish Lower Decks before I catch up on SNW. I'm about halfway through the second season of Lower Decks right now.

    Discovery almost killed my interest in New Trek, but man the Orville and SNW really revived my love of Star Trek.

    Once I finish Lower Decks, I'll get back up to date with SNW and keep working through TNG. Once I finish TNG, I think I'm gonna start Picard.

    Oh, and I've also been keeping up with Futurama and recently watched Hello Tomorrow! And The Big Door Prize on Apple TV. They were both okay.

    I'm watching Terminator - The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I don't know how I missed this back in 2008. It's real good.

    I just started The Expanse and also just learned it got cancelled. I'm hoping by the time i finish it it'll be picked back up.

    It was canceled by Syfy, but then picked back up by Amazon. I haven't finished it myself yet but I'm pretty sure they ended the show. That's different from getting cancelled.

    I've been watching the X-Files. Back in the day I'd only ever sometimes catch episodes here and there on TV, so this is actually the first time I've sat down to watch the whole thing. Only partway through season one at the moment, but really digging it.

    Still waiting for the new season of "For all mankind", started right after when the Expanse ended, right now I'm starved for a good scifi

    Right now Strange New Worlds which has been extremely good this season following the merely OK first episode; Foundation which seems to have improved the weakest arc - the actual Foundation arc - from the first season; and Futurama which, on the evidence of the first episode, I can best characterise as being 'back'.

    Just finished Orphan Black again. Still a fav.

    Orphan Black is one of my favs. Tatiana Maslany puts on an absolute clinic in disappearing into a character. So many times, there will be multiple of her on the screen and you just don't even think about it's the same actress.

    Mid-way through the second series of Dark. It is consuming me. It's so well done, there's not even time to consider plot holes.

    Very nice list. I’m watching Secret Invasion, finished watching Silo (now reading the first book), and I plan to rewatch Babylon 5 to get ready for the reboot and also the new animated movie. I also intend to continue watching Star Wars Rebels (only watched the first three seasons).

    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

    Fringe, and rewatching agents of shield

    Started watching Farscape. I've only seen season 1 when it aired in Finland the first time. It's stuck with me ever since and while it certainly has a lot of problems, it holds up quite well as a camp scifi action show.

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

    Currently in the middle of season 3 of that 90s sci-fi show Sliders. The theme definitely, to me, goes from amazing in seasons 1 & 2 to what feels like more of a campy and more generic theme, but so far I am still enjoying the show.

    I think "I'm a Virgo" is flying under most people's radar. Just finished it a couple days ago and I highly recommend it. It doesn't initially present as scifi but there are definitely scifi elements that come in to play.

    Also S2 of Good Omens was great. It felt a little... pointless compared to the stakes in S1 but the writing was great and it was a very fun watch.

    Good Omens, just finished like candy, Lexx, struggling, worth it ? compare to Andromeda S1...

    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?

    Nice list! Thanks for that. What is "From?" Wouldn't have heard of it had I not seen this.

    I'm waiting patiently each week for a new Strange New Worlds and Futurama.
