Just got done watching Station Eleven. Pretty badass if you like post apocalyptic films/series.
To the Lake was great when I watched it at the start of the Pandemic. Might be a little more depressing two years into things. However, if you liked Better Than Us, To the Lake has many of the same Russian actors.If you like robot stories, there's a Russian made series called Better Than Us that is entertaining.
Try:
The Wheel of Time
Blood and Bone
and in September
Prequel of Lord of the Rings
You forgot the best one of the fantasy shows, the Witcher.
I don't know what it is, but I am really struggling to go all in with the Witcher.
I have watched or started.....
The Silent Sea (recognized some of the actors in this show from the Korean zombie movie Train from Busan). Both have high production quality
Into the Night
Black Summer
Away
Sweeth Tooth
Dark Matter
Couple movies I also liked in the same vein
The Midnight Sky
IO Last on Earth
On my list for later is
Into the BadLands
Tribes of Europe
Watching The Silent Sea now and enjoying it.
I liked Into the Badlands, pretty fun if you enjoy martial arts action.
Moon is excellent…very undervalued IMOTwelve Monkeys was fantastic (edit, meant the film, havent seen the new series).
The 90s mini series Stephen King's The Stand. Not sure how well it holds up now or compared to the new one, but it was badass to me at the time.
Not tv series, but these scifi flicks were all excellent.
Into the badlandsI've watched the following:
- BSG (2x)
- FireFly
- Lost
- COLONY
- The 100
- Revolution
- Falling Skies
- Walking Dead (and Fear)
- Heroes
- The Expanse (couldn't get into it)
UPDATED LIST:
- Upload
- Stranger Things
- All things Trek and Star Wars
Thinking about watching 12 Monkeys, but curious if I've missed something.
Yeah, you really need to pay attention the first couple of episodes.I know...I think I just picked wrong times to watch it, like late nights on Fridays and would fall asleep, and then get lost. I'm going to give it another try and focus in on plot a little more. It really should be right up my ally.
This is next for me, along with Foundation.Just got done watching Station Eleven. Pretty badass if you like post apocalyptic films/series.
The Platform is pretty messed up. LolNetflix has some foreign films I randomly got into accidently
Dark- German TV. Think stranger things with some weird time travel elements. Gets a little like the 12 Monkey's TV series.
3%- Brazilian. Very squid games like but was before squid games. When people turn 21, the top 3% are tested and the winners are taken to an island paradise, leaving the other 97% to live in poverty.
To the Lake- Russian. A viral pandemic breaks out. Family tries to flee Moscow and survive a journey to their old lake house in the countryside.
Altered Carbon is phucking fantastic.
I am Mother- A girl is raised by a robot protected from the outside world until she discovers whats out there.
The Platform- Spanish. I thought this was fantastic. People are in a vertical prison. Food comes down from the top so the upper tiers eat the best/first. Lower tiers fight for scrapes. Very artistic metaphor for society which is what I love in good sci fi.
I'll start season 2 of Raised by Wolves after the Olympics.Raised by Wolves (HBOMax) is a total mind****, great effects, complex characters and story. Watch Season 1, then check out the AltShiftX video on YouTube that explains all of the mythology & symbolism. Season 2 just started, but I’m already lost. Need to rewatch S1.
I have not. I’ll look into it..Have you seen the Warrior then? It’s martial arts destroys the Badlands (and yes…I too liked the Badlands, it’s just the Warrior is ten times better).

Stayed with S1, semi begrudgingly. Couldn’t even get through the first episode of S2 the other night. Production value has dropped dramatically, and the direction/editing is nearing amateur level.I'll start season 2 of Raised by Wolves after the Olympics.
Nobody I know stuck with it. I thought it was great at first, but am not so sure where they are going with it.
Thanks for the YT video tip. I just watched it. Wow!
Sorry to hear that. I'll see for myself at some point soon (the Olympics have put a lot of other TV watching on pause for now).Stayed with S1, semi begrudgingly. Couldn’t even get through the first episode of S2 the other night. Production value has dropped dramatically, and the direction/editing is nearing amateur level.
This. Pissed me offTravelers is great (no The) and has a unique time-travel premise. Fair warning, it never got a conclusion. Netflix cancelled it after S3 apparently because they didn't own it. 🤬🤬🤬
Are you into season 1 or 2 of the witcher? Season one did all sorts of stupid flashbacks in filming and left the person watching wondering what timeline they were in. Season 2 is much better.I don't know what it is, but I am really struggling to go all in with the Witcher.

Dark matter is based off a comic book and is fantastic. I think SyFy had some issues retaining licensing as it wasn't their primary show. As a result, it just ended after season 3. It was written with a 5 season arc. I wish their was more as I enjoyed the characters and backstory. Just be prepared for it to end suddenly. Kind of like Firefly (which if you haven't watched is fantastic) which ended and then they made a movie to add closure to the TV series which obtained cult status after cancelling. This was a great space adventure with good crew development.
Into the badlands- This is really a cross between post apocalyptic and kung fu movies. I liked it. It was cancelled in season 4 which was enough to close plotlines through the first 4 seasons but alluded to something bigger in the future which obviously never came to be. This was must watch TV for me along with walking dead.
Cowboy Bebop — anybody think it’s worth a watch? internet says it’s a well regarded scifi show but it’s pretty old, so wanted to know if it holds up.
Yeah, i was disappointed as well. The world building and acting/character chemistry was fantastic. And like every former Band kid, I dream of a future when freestyle jazz is popular again. 😜. But I guess the Anime fans were in full revolt over some of the characters, esp. Faye.The anime is worth a watch. Pretty bummed the live action got killed after season 1.
Well done lads! I started watching based on this thread and I love it.Just got done watching Station Eleven. Pretty badass if you like post apocalyptic films/series.

I loved 12 Monkeys. Have seen it a couple times. I enjoyed Station Eleven also.What's the best way to know if a show is a serial (plot driven) or episodic (monster of the week)? I'm really wanting another continuing story, or series of story lines like Agents of SHIELD or a BSG.
I've already watched:
- BSG (2x)
- FireFly
- Lost
- COLONY
- The 100
- Revolution
- Falling Skies
- Walking Dead (and Fear)
- Heroes
- Upload
- Stranger Things
- All Trek and Star Wars
- Black Mirror
Since my OP, I've added:
- The Orville
- The Expanse
- Agents of SHIELD
- TITANS
- Lost in Space (reboot)
- Picard, Strange New Worlds (Discovery sucked!)
Considering Next:
- 12 Monkeys
- Farscape (going old school)
- Travelers
- Station Eleven
Watched it, then read the graphic novels that followed.Jericho was fine, but it didn’t live up to the premise, which was excellent.
Did you ever read Wool? One of the best opening chapters ever.Watched it, then read the graphic novels that followed.
