You had me until Silo. I couldn’t get past more than a few episodes of that before realizing I was just watching a less energetic and self-aware version of Fallout.
Comment on What are you watching and, what do you recommend this week?

I am watching SG1 from the beginning. I saw episodes here and there when it came out but as I’m running out of long running shows and characters to get attached to, I gave it a go. Aside from the incessant and loud background music in season 1, I find it holds well.
My suggestions are the usual suspects:
- The Expanse – A gripping, politically charged space opera about interplanetary conflict, featuring complex characters and high-stakes drama.
- The Orville – A mix of comedy and sci-fi drama.
- Dark Matter – A Canadian sci-fi series about a crew of amnesiac criminals aboard a spaceship, exploring identity and survival in space.
- Ted Lasso – A heartwarming comedy-drama about an American football coach managing a British soccer team, full of humor and positive vibes.
- The Night Manager – A stylish espionage thriller with a former soldier-turned-hotel manager drawn into an arms dealer’s world.
- Bob’s Burgers – A quirky animated comedy that follows the Belcher family running a burger joint, known for its clever humor and heartwarming moments.
- Letterkenny – A fast-paced comedy about the quirky residents of a small Canadian town, blending absurd humor with unique characters.
- Killjoys – A loud, action-packed Canadian sci-fi series about bounty hunters navigating a chaotic, lawless planetary system.
- Silo – The second season was slow until the final episodes, but the first season was great.

Oh, yes, you’re right, I forgot Fallout! Same premise, I enjoyed both very much though I found them quite different. I enjoy anything with Ella Purnell. Arcane is another one I forgot!

I looked through some of the film stills on IMDb for Killjoys and it was kinda fun to recognize so many faces from The Expanse.
@thejoker954@lemmy.world mentioned The Eternaut, and you look like you enjoy good tv-scifi, so you might want to consider giving that a go as well.
