> IMO there is plenty of much better science fiction both in books and on TV.

Would you care to name a few?

For me The Expanse, For All Mankind and, although not hard-scifi, Raised by Wolves is where it's at in terms of TV.

BSG If you are into space opera

The Man in the High Castle: Alternative history

Hand Maid's Tail: Near future dystopia (gotten a bit close lately)

Thank you for Raised by Wolves and For All Mankind. I musty have been living in a hole. Never heard of them

I do not know what is not hard enough about The Expanse. Taste is personal!

I like plot and character development. Without that it is just one thing after another.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, I've seen/tried those already. Handmaid's Tale is brilliant, and I also like BSG and Caprica. Couldn't get into Man in the High Castle, tho.

> I do not know what is not hard enough about The Expanse.

Misunderstanding. I consider only RBW as non-hard scifi.

> Thank you for Raised by Wolves and For All Mankind.

I envy you. Both are phenomenal! Although RBW may be a matter of taste. I am rewatching FAM right now and still love absolutely everything about it. Kind of the reason why I had high hopes for The Foundation, as I've seen what Apple television is capable of.

Btw. if you like the historic space theme, you may also like a "Strange Angel", which I enjoyed a lot. You likely haven't heard of that, either, as it's super niche and under the radar. It's not scifi tho.

Enjoy!
