Interesting premise but teenybopper on steroids.



Yeah, that's what I was thinking until the little girl stabbed the dude in the neck and killed him.

The acting is fairly horrible. It reminds me of a horror flick with a bunch of attractive 20 somethings getting killed by an unknown thing. Gonna try and make it through season one. Does it get better after that?

Is this show still going? I tried to start it a year or two ago and didn't really stick with it. Mostly since I had it on while i was doing projects around the house and didn't focus on it. Maybe i'll restart it.

I keep meaning to give this a try.


It’s far from perfect but the right amount of weird and action. Closest thing I can compare it to is a hard R Blade Runner or Total Recall.

I’m actually excited about season 2 with Mackie more so than Kenniman.

Well, you were right, but I can't stop watching it now. It's like a poorly written millennial version of Lost.

I just want to make sure you don't gloss of the suggestion of Travelers on page 1. A FANTASTIC show that's not talked about enough. The acting and plot are so well done.

Again...TRAVELERS. It's on Netflix.

Also, is Orphan Black still on Prime? That show is one of tGOATs. The lead actress plays like 8 different parts and you will easily forget you're watching the same woman play multiple characters.

Altered Carbon is also a must-watch.

I will always suggest Firely even though it's depressing to get so into a show that was cut short. Serenity will give you decent closure, though.

OK, The 100 finally lost me. Bad acting, bad plot, unbelievable circumstances, and girl power. The only redeemable thing about the show is the hot blonde girl’s bisexual adventures.

Dark is definitely worth watching. It's on Netflix. It's in German.

Cowboy Bebop is also good, but it's animated. It's on Hulu.

Stargate SG-1 is decent. It's on Hulu.

Dark has been discussed here before (Netflix). German series, and has "LOST" level of timeline chasing.
Pretty addictive for us.

Uh, I'm going to be a little offbeat and suggest "Better Than Us" on Netflix. It's Russian though so if subtitles annoy you keep that in mind.

I've enjoyed the Witcher, but am I the only one that feels like it is a WB TV show? I mean, it's better than that, but it just feels like I'm watching a modern day WB show.

Anyone here have CBS all access. Thinking about getting it with my prime subscription for twilight zone and Picard along with others

Babylon 5 I believe is on amazon prime. The GOAT. You have to get past the production value of S1.

Undone on Amazon Prime is amazing. It's a time-bending show and the use of rotoscope animation allows for some really trippy visuals at times. It takes until the second episode to get into the sci-fi part though.
