The world needs more high-quality utopian sci-fi TV. Everything's so "dark" these days. It gets a bit boring.

Rather than strictly utopian or dystopian, I just want to see more nuanced sci-fi. Where's the sci-fi counterpart to The Wire, following socially and economically diverse groups of characters in realistically complex, interconnected stories? (Actually, The Expanse isn't that far off from this.)

I was about to say, The Expanse handles that very well for you, and it sticks fairly close to the books as well.

It's easily the best Sci-Fi on TV right now.

Hmm, it’s pretty good, but I’m not sure I would say it’s the best. Westworld is better in my opinion.

All the recent Star Trek films and TV shows have been lazy prequels or rehashes of the early Federation days. I'd like to see some new Trek, such as transition to a post-scarcity society between ST:TOS and ST:TNG or something a thousand years in the future. I want to see the speculative fiction that Geordi La Forge reads. :)
