Don’t know how you guys feel about comparisons to Star Trek but I thought this was interesting.
Also, Mods … if this kind of post is not allowed, I don’t mind it being taken down.
I’ve only watched about half of all Star Trek content with series and movies and animations. I thought I had years of content to watch in the future … but after hearing about other series from other people over the years, through comments in this community and through lists like this Youtube video … I think I’ll be spending the rest of my life watching scifi, the majority of which will be Star Trek.
It’s a very good show.
I also cannot recommend Blake’s 7 enough. It’s the original dark sci-fi TV series- unsurprising since it was from the mind of Terry Nation, who created the Daleks- and inspired a lot of other shows… especially Farscape, which was essentially a Blake’s 7 tribute show. Both are about a bunch of criminals escaping from a tyrannical government on a ship unlike any other known ship, with its own agency and ability to communicate with the crew. In both, some intend to fight back, some intend to run away and some are just in it for themselves. One of the villains in Farscape (Grayza) even very obviously was made to look like the big bad in Blake’s 7, Servalan.
It’s also got one of the most jaw-dropping finales of all time.
