Hello /c/sciencefiction lemmies. I've put together an image of some of the most discussed shows from July 2023.

Are there any science fiction TV series you are currently in the middle of watching or plan on watching in August?

Here is last months post. What are you Watching? (July 2023)

Good Omens, just finished like candy, Lexx, struggling, worth it ? compare to Andromeda S1...

I watched through Lexx (and then re-watched it) in the last couple of years. It's great for something silly that you can switch off to. As long as you don't take it seriously, all the innuendos and low budget scenery become fun and comfy.

Thanks, I'll take that onboard.

Dunno if Lexx is really worth it tbh. The original movies were worth watching just because it was so weird and different.

But if you were on the fence after those, well it doesn't really change. Just season after season of the same sort of plots...if you like that, it's great. If you don't, it's gonna get old really fast.

I rewatched all of Andromeda recently, and after a season and a half is was mostly awful, but it was occasionally entertaining.

I rewatched the first Lexx movie, remembered why I never finished the show the first time around, and moved on to something else.

Yeah, I watched Andromeda, hence the comparison to S1 (which was OK and of the era). Maybe I use it to put me to sleep, like first wave...

The last season of Andromeda is god-awful. Just terrible television all around.
