Anyone watching Beacon 23? Is it worth starting? (lemmy.nz)

I see it's based on the book by Hugh Howey, who also did the Silo series which I really enjoyed the TV adaptation of. I'm wondering if it's any good as I don't have a lot of time for starting too many TV shows at the moment.

At first, I thought it wasn't going to be very good. But then the story gets going and its kept me tuned in. I'm curious enough about the plot to keep going. Really good Sci-Fi shows are hard to come by. That being said, it's a good 6/10 Sci-Fi show, IMO.

Thanks, I might start watching - like you said, not a lot of good Sci-Fi shows at the moment.

If you haven't seen it, The Lazarus Project (BBC) is great. Well written, well acted. I thought it was going to be a variety show (I.E. X-Files, where only every 6 episodes follows the main storyline), but it's a good continuous storyline, and keeps you on the edge...

Thanks, I hadn't heard of it! Trailer and premise looks interesting, it's definitely going on my list to watch.
