Got any suggestions for #SciFi TV?

No horror, please, nor gritty dystopic tough guy stuff. Over it.

Recently I've enjoyed #Foundation, #TheGoodPlace, #StarTrek: Strange New Worlds. Caught up on #DoctorWho.

ST:SNW in particular really hit the spot. We can actually work together to fix things, ya know. (I know ya know :) )

I'd also consider some light mysteries with some style - big fan of #NeroWolfe and #Columbo for instance. Or heist stuff like #LeverageTV and #HustleTV

@swordplay no one has mentioned Time Wasters yet, so I will—British jazz band stumbles into a time machine, spends a season in the 20s and a season in the 50s—it’s funny, smart, well-made. Definitely not grim! (I think it was an Amazon show, I saw it on Freevee.)

@PennamitePLR

That sounds super fun! I will definitely look for it. Has a plot, or more historical education?

@swordplay Oh plenty of comic plot. They're running from an angry person in the present (who also finds the time machine--it's an elevator in their building), one of them considers staying in the 1920s because he loves jazz so much, etc. It's charming and fun, with sharp writing.
