Hopefully Netflix picks this up - especially when the new series of Lost in Space is just full of idiotic decisions to line up the next absurd episode, and Altered Carbon plods along at a snails pace and uses nudity to gloss over the dull bits.
The Expanse is the best sci-fi series on TV by far at the moment, especially due to it having a good plot, a sweary UN woman, and mostly obeys the laws of physics.
The Siffy channel is rubbish anyway. Netfix has more sci-fi to watch.
- enraged_camel 8y agoAltered Carbon is excellent. It’s also a very different kind of show; more of a crime-drama that takes place in the far future than an actual sci-fi show.
- matwood 8y agoAgreed on Altered Carbon. Some of the nudity is gratuitous, but most is not. I know the clone room scene was on some of the news sites, but why wouldn’t clones be naked? In a future where sleeves are changeable vessels, I would expect nudity, body image, etc... to be very different from today’s values.

- imglorp 8y agoYup, and based on decent writing (books). (Spoilers) I especially like how all the implications of the few base assertions are being explored: renting bodies to visit with dead relatives, class separation, immortality and untouchable lawlessness for the rich, on and on. Just well done.
- Faark 8y agoThe show actually felt quite shallow to me, like it focused entertaining over presenting a coherent world. E.g. I'd expect to see identical cheap mass produced body running around everywhere. I more fondly remember the near two decade old ghost in the shell fancies, especially for it's time. But then I don't plan to go back and may ruin my memory of it by re-watching.
- asdf1234tx 8y agoIt's Noir, redone with modern standards, and in a sci-fi setting, but it's completely Noir. And it's very good. I also enjoy The Expanse.
