As a reader or watching series, Science Fiction is one of my favorite categories. It allows to explore new words, alternative realities, new species, new ways of lives… Endless possibilities ! The limited number of series below reflects my high standards. Those are excellent series, milestones series.
Go there for STAR WARS (on Disney+)
- STARGATE SG-1 / Amazon & Netflix / The airforce opens a gate to distant worlds, and at the same time expose our planet to the threat of the Goa’ulds, ancient deities such as Râ. An unlikely team, composed of an archeologist, a physcist, a miltary and a fighter born on a foreign planet, will explore these worlds. They will fight the Goa’ulds, and build a network of allies.
- BATTLESTAR GALACTICA / Amazon / The human race has colonized twelve planets. She built robots to help, the Cylons. But they rebelled and war broke out. Humanity has been erased. Only a few ships of survivors escaped, fleeing into space, pursued by the Cylons. Their only hope: to find the mythical planet Earth.
- LOST IN SPACE [2018 version] / Netflix / After their ship suffered major damage on its way to Alpha Centauri, a group of colonists must survive on an unknown planet. An alien robot crashed alongside them. It marks the beginning of an unlikely friendship—one that will withstand every challenge.
- THE EXPANSE / Amazon / The solar system is divided between (a dominant) Earth, Mars, and “belters”, the working poor operating satellites. Tensions are permanent, but the destruction of a ship takes the pressure up a notch. Four people, witnesses of the catastrophe, will discover a terrifying enemy, then open up unsuspected horizons. A brillant space opera, and an intelligent reflection on what makes us human.
- UPLOAD / Amazon / In a close future, an incredible love story between two soulmates, one in real life, the other in virtual reality. Funny, smart, with endearing characters, and a truly original scenario.
- TRAVELERS / Netflix / Teams from the future return to the 21st century to rectify mistakes that threaten humanity / Created by Brad Wright, Stargate SG-1 showrunner. Less epic, but still interesting
