What are you Watching? (August 2023) - eviltoast

Hello /c/sciencefiction lemmies. I’ve put together an image of some of the most discussed shows from July 2023.

Are there any science fiction TV series you are currently in the middle of watching or plan on watching in August?

Here is last months post. What are you Watching? (July 2023)

    They Cloned Tyrone is a surprise for me. Great modern scifi/blaxploitation film, though I have about 30 minutes left to finish.

    Finally finding the time to finishAndor and what the fuck?! How is it so good???

      Andor is SOOOOO GOOD. Andy Serkis straight up made me cry. (I have the last couple of episodes still to go so no spoilers pls lol)

      But the characters, the writing, the acting, the storylines and the theeeeeemmes omg. It’s like a dramatic embodiment of Seeing Like a State.

        I’m probably exactly where you are so no spoilers from me either. I just can’t believe how good this show is, for all the reasons you stated. Ugh it actually brings me back into the fold. Hoping for me great SW content

      I’m sorry, you’re only allowed to say “what the fight? How is it so good???”

      But otherwise, yeah - it’s a show that really benefits from tight plotting, dedicated performances, an excellent score and some Tony Gilroy & Friends bangers for speeches. I kind of have to stop myself re-watching it (for the millionth time)

        I’m sorry, I don’t understand the first half of your comment. Are there strong language rules on this community?

          Not that I’m aware of. Sorry - it was a reference to Andor: there’s a scene where a character says ‘Fight’ where it was initially filmed as ‘Fuck’ but Disney wouldn’t let them use it (maybe for the best, I don’t know).
