Are there any science fiction TV series you are currently in the middle of watching? I'm sure there are plenty of people watching Silo. What else are you guys watching?

Personally I've been on a bit of a Star Trek Next Generation binge. I've also recently completed the Chinese version of Three Body Problem as well as the animated Three Body Problem which is actually just The Dark Forest.

The animated Three Body Problem was kind of a let down as they strayed from the source material in a weird way and made some aspects of it a comedy as well as a love story. Hopefully if it is renewed for a season 2 they get back on course and get to some of the good stuff. There are some scenes I would love to see animated. The trailer for it was so cool too. It seemed like they knew what they were doing.

I'm currently partway through the first season of From. So far its a good mixture of monsters + mystery + sheer WTF. I just hope it continues to be coherent and eventually leads the viewers to a conclusion that, if not "reasonable", at least follows some sort of consistent internal logic. That's the part that typically winds up disappointing me in shows like this, so... fingers crossed, but so far so good.

If you like series which begin WTF but have a satisfying end, I'd recommend Mrs Davies to you.

I've enjoyed From so far, for the same reasons you describe... but it really needs to clear up some of its loose ends, otherwise it'll end up like Lost.

At the moment, it's a lot of "hey! look at this crazy thing! I wonder what it could be... oooo?", and not a lot of "so this was actually..."

"and not a lot of “so this was actually…”" That's exactly what I'm afraid of. These types of shows just don't work without that part!
