I was let down by season two. Don’t let that stop you though - season 3 & 4 are great.

no Rick and Morty!?
I’m really bummed that Outer Range is not getting renewed for a 3rd season. I mean, the 2nd season actually got more interesting. I think this series had a lot of potential and could’ve at least gone for 4 seasons.
Love rick and Morty, just didn’t list it because I didn’t want the list to be too long. which is why i put “et cetera” at the end of my list

So… what would be nice sci-fi series?
(on hbo/max — that’s the one I have right now, cancelled the others…
I’m not really into comedy or mixed-funny or that new trendy-smart type of series that mixes gangsters, an half-assed Columbo detective and tries to “de-construct” the American family at the same time, while the characters are on holidays in some dense wooded lake resort (can’t remember the name of that one!)
I like serioz shit!)

Fringe is always fun to watch. It kinda falls apart in the last season, but still a great show.
if you have not seen The Last of Us you should check it out. Very well done, except you will have to wait until 2025 for season 2.

That one looks promising, thanks Patrick! I’ll check it out tonight.

Not sure I can get past Peter Bishop after his role in The Affair… one thing about TV/Film actors, unlike theater, is that they are cast by their mugs and general acting, they hardly ever “change” or “morph” into another person unlike them. That’s why Gyllenhall or Phoenix are creepy guys!

This was my favorite series for a number of years. I had very high hopes for the ending… and meh, I was a bit disappointed. JJ Abrams kept it alive, but against high resistance, which caused funding problems for the 5th and final season. It was getting sketchy by the 4th season.
Anyway, there’s so much to appreciate. The acting is terrific. John Noble makes it! Dr. Walter Bishop. Hilarious. Anna Torv is excellent too. Peter Jackson was pretty good.
I’d say it’s like X-Files but with more latitude and character development.

Has anyone here seen Fallout? It’s 1 season thus far, but wow. What a bizarre yet intriguing production.

Scavengers Reign and old Doctor Who are the best sci-fi series on max in my opinion.

Finishing The Staircase on Max. Top acting, perfect set, great story-telling or re-telling. Some dialogues almost fall in cliché (like irl, right?) but then they avoid it. It’s the most brilliant crime series I’ve seen in a while — and all that without a single shot fired

“The Staircase” is loaded with subtleties. And I found myself going back and forth on believing that the husband had done it. Motive is usually a complex thing and so difficult to fully uncover.
I thought the “owl theory” was never completely dismissed — they only put it aside because afaik in the US judicial system a previous occurrence serves as jurisprudence: if another case shows that it is possible to cause blunt force trauma without cracking the skull (the gay escort murder case) you later can’t use that as proof that it was without doubt an owl that did the attack — since that peculiarity is not a particular circumstance of owls attacks any more, even though most blunt force attacks by humans do result in a cracked skull.
But they zoomed in on the hairs and the feathers were there…
Truth is one thing — justice is another. Everything is a lie (a recurrent theme in modern time series and movies on netfliex, hbo, etc). But it is all so brilliantly put together, it’s really worth the 8-hours viewing ahah.
