I’ve been prescribed medical for about a year for chronic insomnia and have been slowly making my way through modern Dr Who before bed. Almost at the end of Calpadi’s seasons and need some recommendations of what to watch next.

Star Trek: Lower Decks has been good to pad it out, and unfortunately I recently rewatched the GOAT reboot of Battlestar Galactica recently so that’s out.

Hit me with your best sci-fi and or fantasy fellow ents.

    I’m late to the party, and there’s only one season, but we just finished Silo on Apple. That show was badass. There’s a second season already filming.

    I know you asked for shows, but the Expanse books (especially the first 2) and beyond awesome. The science and the approach to uneven technology distribution and advancement is so cool. I haven’t seen the show yet though so can’t speak to that. I can read after a sesh, but not everyone can.

      Cpt. Harkness is a babe, and I’m a dude. Hadn’t even crossed my mind, good call.

        There’s also Class and the Sara Jane adventures for spinoffs. But torchwood is probably the best of them.

    -the expanse

    -raised by wolves

    They’re both pretty damn good imo.

    If your into fantasy, my favorite recently is definitely ‘The Magicians’. It’s based on a book series, but the show is kind of it’s own thing and I think it’s superb. It’s sort of a mix between Harry Potter, Chronicles of Narnia, with lots of time loops and really well thought out magical power system. It’s also got musical numbers and is just campy enough to be enjoyable
