Hello /c/sciencefiction lemmies. I’ve put together an image of some of the most discussed shows from July 2023.

Are there any science fiction TV series you are currently in the middle of watching or plan on watching in August?

Here is last months post. What are you Watching? (July 2023)

    Strange new Worlds. I think it’s the best Star Trek series since the original. I don’t think the casting is particularly great, but Anson Mount makes up for it. Like William Shatner was born to be Captain Kirk, Anson Mount was born to be Captain Pike.

      Definitely the best Trek since Next Generation. Infinitely better than the reboot movies, Discovery, and Picard.

      It’s genuinely funny, it’s usually smart, it’s optimistic, and most importantly it’s episodic, so when bad writing creeps in, it remains isolated to just a few bad episodes (like every other good star trek series).

      So far my only critique is that occasionally they go too hard on mindless action/violence, which is just boring.

      I wish the show had gotten a better main musical theme. Other than the cool retro sci-fi sound at the end, it’s really lame.

        I see you never watched Deep Space Nine.
