@xanna @suzannealdrich Realized I forgot a bunch!

Counterpart (Starz) is a slow conspiracy thriller. It involves a building in Berlin under which a Cold War experiment opened a gateway to an alternate universe. They started diverging from that moment. Most of the main cast plays two very different roles. Involves a pandemic.

Devs (FX) is a miniseries from Alex Garland (Sunshine, Ex Machina, Annihilation, and more) mystery/conspiracy thriller about determinism and free will.

Killjoys (Syfy) is a far-future, *extremely* pulpy sci-fi adventure show. I wouldn’t call it great sci-fi in the makes-you-think sense, but it’s tons of fun.

Legion (FX) is a show centered on a very weird X-Men character. It’s fascinating for a lot of reasons. For example, an important scene is conveyed as a dance battle in a club.

The Orville (Hulu) is both a parody of and love letter to Star Trek. It takes a while for the humor to start working (the first few episodes can get painful to watch), but when it does, it’s pretty good. It also has some excellent stories apart from the humor.

Person of Interest (CBS) starts as a vigilante procedural, but over the course of the first three seasons, it turns into some of the hardest present-day sci-fi I’ve ever seen. Caviezel was apparently a terror to work with, so I feel conflicted about liking it.

Watchmen (HBO) is a new story set in the world of the novel (ordinary people don costumes and act as vigilantes; it’s really grim). Very explicitly about racism, police violence, the rise of fascism, and other presently relevant topics.

Westworld (HBO) is a near-future sci-fi based on some ideas from Michael Crichton. A company has built a sort of theme park filled with artificial “hosts” which play out stories paying “guests” can participate in. It was unfortunately cancelled before it could reach its planned conclusion, but it definitely went some interesting places.
