Recently got a new iPhone from my company which came with a 3-month trial of Apple TV. So I’m in the middle of a tour de force of the great sci-fi shows in there:

  • Severance
  • Foundation
  • Silo
  • For All Mankind

I’ve only just finished S1 for all of them so no spoilers please!

For All Mankind is amazing. Perhaps a bit too much non-space related drama but still excellent.

Silo also got me very curious to find out what happens in S2.

I’m a big Asimov fan so I was really looking forward to Foundation. S1 was OK but not entirely sure about some of the many ways they have departed from the books.

Severance is perhaps a bit overhyped and disappointed me a bit but it’s still pretty good.

Ironically i'd say the best thing about the show is something they completely made up for the show: the whole genetic dynasty with dawn/day/dusk.

Yes, I'd like a sci-fi show just purely based on that. Purely based on Trantor (or whatever they call it in a show not based on Foundation) . A sci-fi court intrigue empire show based around the mechanics and philosophical implications of a genetic dynasty.
