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)

    Started watching Farscape. I’ve only seen season 1 when it aired in Finland the first time. It’s stuck with me ever since and while it certainly has a lot of problems, it holds up quite well as a camp scifi action show.

      Seasons 3/4 move past the “alien of the week” (though occasionally they have one still) and get into a more episodic season long arc that I think fits a lot better.

        With everything being long arcs nowadays, I really enjoy the old school episodic format. So that definitely isn’t a negative 😁

      If you end up liking it, definitely also check out the 1970s BBC sci-fi series Blake’s 7. Farscape paid tribute to it in many ways, including the ‘fugitives on a spacecraft fleeing through the galaxy’ element. There’s also a later villain, Grayza, who looks remarkably like Servalan, the main villain in Blake’s 7.

      That said, Blake was far more serious in tone.
