Added the Netflix show SALVATION to the list (just finished it). Formulaic as hell, but I'm a sucker for the premise.

Also added THE TERROR, which no one has mentioned, for some reason. Great first five episodes.

Wait just one second!
In a previous post you dismissed MY dislike of formula and now you give it a pass.
That's just wrong!

Did I? I guess it depends on the premise.

I've added THE OUTPOST to the list.

Also gutted that THE LAST MAN ON EARTH is apparently cancelled!?!

Geez, THE OUTPOST was silly as hell. Looked liked something cheesy out the 90s, like XENA: WARRIOR PRINCESS or something. Didn't need to see more than 4 minutes to make up my mind. This is out.

I guess, although Marvel/superhero stuff has long since started to wear me thin. I kinda like AGENTS OF SHIELD, LUKE CAGE and LEGION, but that's about it. But I'll put it on the list, thanks!

Yeah. How many stories about rich kids who are lost, presumed dead, live in a faraway (Asian) land, learn martial arts, and return home only to find their (murdered) father's company has been taken over by criminals,
can we take?
LOL!

So the second season of SALVATION came on awhile back. The first had some promise, so I had hopes. Well, that plummeted quickly. I think I managed 3 episodes of season 2 before I called it quits. A shame. What would have been a great continuation is if they actually DID go up in the Salvation ark, but they obviously didn't have the budget for that -- instead resorting to tried-and-true political intrigue and shenanigans down on earth. If there was any sci fi in this, it's long since gone.

Not strictly within the parameters of this thread, but I've added the animated comedy sci fi show FINAL SPACE (Netflix) to the list. I binged the whole first season yesterday.

It sucks balls that both COLONY and THE LAST MAN ON EARTH have been cancelled. COLONY was FINALLY starting to get somewhere interesting right when it was cancelled.

Not a lot of shows on at the moment that I've been following for a long time (only FEAR THE WALKING DEAD, BETTER CALL SAUL and yesterday the premiere of the new season of AMERICAN HORROR STORY), so I thought I'd give a new series a chance -- the aforementioned recommendation of BRAINDEAD.

I always thought this was a series adaptation of the Peter Jackson movie, but it's obviously something completely different. A fun satire on US politics as seen through an INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS-type sci fi setting. I like it! Will certainly watch the rest of the show, even if was cancelled after just one season. Added bonus that my hero Ridley Scott is the producer as well.

I've also updated the first post with relevant dates etc.

Oh boy!

What a slog - pun intended.
It is like watching a ten hour version of THE REVENANT (or SCOTT OF THE ANARCHIC [sp]

The main reason to watch this is Jared Harris ; a truly magnificent performance.

Yes, please! THE REVENANT was my favourite movie that year. Such a superb show, THE TERROR. I hope they'll be able to do a second season (obviously with other cast, and a different story).
