Today I learned that the complete series of Total Recall 2070 seems to be available on YouTube.
Essentially, it is 1999's interpretation of Blade Runner, even though it is named after Total Recall.
Or, it's like a Philip K Dick version of Almost Human.

@xerozohar Guest cast list included some big names up the wazoo, so actor spotting chances if nothing else.
Search for Machine Dreams part 1 if you're interested, it should pop up some playlists.
This account has some other old shows as well so may be worth a glance to check those, too. UK #Ultraviolet now seen by me for one.
Back in 1999, Karl Pruner was interviewed by Thomasina Gibson about his role as Ian Farve for the science fiction/genre magazine Xposé. Unfortunately for her, he's talked about as An Favre throughout it, but otherwise, if you're curious about an actor's approach at playing an android, it's interesting.
Pruner has since worked for the Canadian union ACTRA & has e.g. a 2009 Colombian human rights interview on YouTube.

I have little interest in _discussing_ the topic, but one list as per recent posts seen:
'Best'/fave Scifi series:
#Blakes7
#RedDwarf
Babylon 5 (+ #B5Crusade, sue me)
#Farscape
#TotalRecall2070
#SpaceAboveAndBeyond
Star Treks
The Orville
Doctor Who?
#Fringe, #VTheFinalBattle, #The100? SG1
Star Wars tho I've yet to get to see any of the series versions. If you want to say anything about Firefly, not for me.
Expanse + newer things not seen either. Does #EdgeOfDarkness count as scifi?
@Jyoti So you must be in happier states of late then. Good. 👍
But here, a Nexus Dating service clip. ;) 14 minutes in if it doesn't jump to the right place otherwise.

Not sure if you ever saw the series, but worth a watch if interested in #androids. Just takes the right kind of a 'bot for me to be interested. ;)
Watch up until 17 minutes in. 😂
Just gonna drop a link to the #TotalRecall2070 cast list for some of the guests, to close that tab.
Including #DavidWarner, #MartinSheen, #KimCoates, #TitusWelliver, #HenryGibson, #ClintHoward; with #MatthewBennett of #BSG fame as a regular. Add #ThomasKretschmann, #AnthonyZerbe, #VanessaWilliams & #NigelBennett for some spotted.
Actor spotting fun. Also, if you're inclined to #shipping, the series provides m/m & f/f potential at very minimum. 😅

I found it interesting that the actor who played my favourite android later on also turned out to be into TM or meditation, minimalism & whatsuch. I'm fairly stream of consciousness so the people I hone in on is always interesting.
Blog picture by his wife Joanna Bennett as I recall, 24Mar16.
by Karl Pruner What is meditation? There may be as many answers as there are meditators. As a practitioner for forty four years, I can only say for sure what it means to me. Meditation means rest. In meditation, my mind rests in the awareness of the present moment. Noises come and go. Thoughts come … just sit Read More »
@uliwitness #IanFarve, played by #KarlPruner, who was lovely enough to follow me back sometime early on when he was still at all even remotely active on Twtr.
I don't think that much was ever said between us tho since I had the usual "An actor who played 1 of your favourite characters followed you, everybody behave!" responses first off at least but he seemed very active in work with unions or such as I recall.
Something with Actra I think.
Fun in #TheRecruit with Pacino, 2.
@Jyoti #ThisIsTheWay as they say. That show unavailable to me or not.
How about #TotalRecall2070 #DarkAngel #Blakes7 #SpaceAboveAndBeyond #B5Crusade or #Crusade for tags otherwise perhaps?
#CodeNameEternity to make it really obscure in my "Bad Canadian shows from 1999" vibes? #MortalKombatConquest or #PeterBenchleysAmazon?
Old #scifi series are likelier to have been available to me than the new stuff.
#The100 to #AgentsOfSHIELD or #Supernatural? #TerraNova or #DaVincisDemons?
