Just finished the Expanse, it was pretty okay, idk some of it was too predictable but it was still entertaining enough to just watch it while shit posting.

Really my only preference is that it isn't just some AI written show with every predictable and unoriginal trope imaginable.

I don't watch much TV stuff at all, but due to a house fire we just had last week (everyone is okay) I no longer got my gaming rig so I got more free time to watch something in between work and my normal reading sessions.

Cheers, chapos ♥️

Edit: damn you all rule, thanks for all this, way more than I imagined

    Black Sails (historical, about the Golden Age of Piracy, plus it has a surprisingly Marxist view on which class is necessary for a potentially successful revolution. Costumes, production values and elaborate action pieces to die for).

    Utopia (sci-fi/conspiracy/alternative history with some of the darkest top notch humour to grace the small screen, amazing casting, superb cinematography, snappy editing and an insanely good soundtrack). The British 2013/2014 original though, not the American remake.

    If animation is also ok: Rick and Morty, Kaiba and Space Dandy (in that order) for your high concept sci-fi needs.

      Black Sails sounds cool as hell, didn't know about that. Utopia has been recommended a lot to me, it is also going to the top of the list.

        It is, surprised no other company cashed in on the "serious pirate series" niche ever since. And do give Kaiba a look - it is not well known at all but despite its cutesy visuals it grapples with some (depressingly) serious social/political issues and futuristic concepts.
