The Genetic Dynasty storyline is entirely original and it’s easily the best part of the show, one of my favorite sci-fi concepts ever. Lee Pace is just so fucking good as Empire in all seasons. Demrezel is also right up there as the best character in the show.
Just can’t get enough of this.
Season 3 is streaming rn and it’s amazing so far. Absolutely phenomenal performances from Lee Pace and Laura Birn. I highly recommend watching it if you like sci-fi.
the show is fucking great because at every turn they said “what would make that bigoted asshole turn in his grave?” and I respect the hell out of that.
it’s also good bc Lee fucking Pace is beautiful.
Was Asimov canceled?
Asimov was both a bigot in general and a raging misogynist in particular, like to the point where even some of his contemporaries were grossed out by it.
and you can easily see the misogyny just from reading any of his books.
