So is Mythic Quest. I was loathe to get Apple tv but so far it's been well worth the $5/month.For All Mankind is worth watching too.

this was a bit of a slog.
You don't want to hang in for another all over the place, lazy episode that ends rapidly in a cliffhanger that isn't resolved or even addressed in the next episode? Are you nuts?!After 3 episodes I've decided that I'm disappointed with the adaptation. Sucks.

Lee Pace on Halt and Catch Fire was great. But then again pretty much all the cast was great.It's great. The problem with most shows is the pilot episode tends to operate off of a checklist versus practical storytelling.
Witcher with Henry Cavill was a great story but done with some very poorly structured storytelling. ( I.E. as a test case of what can go wrong if you don't use a traditional pilot format) Foundation has clearly good storytelling but this kind of show needs a four episode immediate drop to try to catch their audience. It's one thing Ron Moore did right with the Battlestar Galactica reboot, he entrenched with what amounts to a four episode pilot converted into a mini series.
I find Lee Pace to be grossly overrated. He keeps trying to channel Alan Rickman from Die Hard, well if Hans Gruber had all the charisma beaten out of him. But this kind of typecast will appeal to narcissists. Thus the collection of lawyers in the FBG forums will probably love his character to death.
Jared Harris' career arc has settled in nicely as the thoughtful slightly radical subversive who likes to laugh at his own jokes.
A smart decision was to not give the cinematography the washed out Avengers Endgame "This was 90 percent filmed in an SFX studio" aesthetic.
i don't know...jake busey, some nice nudity, doogie howser...starship troopers is pretty legit.Foundation, the tv series is to Foundation, the Asimov book, as Starship Troopers, the movie, is to Starship Troopers, the Heinlein book.

I think Starship Troopers is awesome... but lots of camp and satire/social-commentary at play in it, similar to Robocop.I'm through 5 episodes, it's okay. Not great. Not the worst. It looks nice, they clearly put money into it, but overall none of the characters are really grabbing me and I'm not overly excited to finish it, through I will just to see it through and I love sci-fi.
I've probably watched Starship Troopers 6 times, love it as a guilty pleasure. Fascist sci-fi at its finest.

I’m liking it ok so far. Don’t care much for One-Eyed Winnie’s performance though.and it's through Ep 8 of 10.
again- I think it finally got running here, with backstories in place and no need to generate new stories/characters/timelines.
The huntress? Hasn't bothered me so far.I’m liking it ok so far. Don’t care much for One-Eyed Winnie’s performance though.
Finished episode 9 last night, and this is still where I'm at with it. I wouldn't run around recommending it to everyone but I enjoyed it and don't regret watching.I think the show is very watchable for sci fi fans.

Finished the season finale last night, and this is still where I'm at with it. I wouldn't run around recommending it to everyone but I enjoyed it and don't regret watching.
