Science fiction I am watching

I’ve been watching a lot of new streaming science fiction recently. My favorite shows, ranked in order of my enjoyment. — KK

• Dune (HBO) — Part 1. Perfect in all dimensions. Best world-building since Star Wars.

• The Expanse (Amazon) — Six seasons of an epic saga, with well-done characters and worlds.

• For All Mankind (Apple+) — Super fantastic counterfactual history of what if the Russians won the race to the Moon.

• Westworld (HBO) — Excellent cautionary tale of our relations with human-like robots. Already a classic.

• Ascension (Amazon) — Plenty of unexpected plot twists in story of 100-year ship to the stars.

• Silent Sea (Netflix) — Korean drama on Moon base.

• Station Eleven (HBO) — What if mostly actors survive a dystopia? Odd, perplexing, slow, but in a good way.

• Book of Boba Fett (Disney+) — Continuation of the Mandalorian space western, with shoot outs.

• Altered Carbon (Netflix) — Unlikely scenario, but rich, fun exploration of downloading personalities.

• Wandavision (Disney+) — Part of the Marvel universe. Amusing premise and very creative meta levels and format.

• Foundation (Apple+) — Based on classic book. Liked the beginning but I couldn’t finish it because it became too implausible.
