Would Around the World in 80 Days go here? It’s on Masterpiece/PBS, and it stars David Tennant. It’s based on a Jules Verne novel, so arguably SF. Very into the Amazing Possibilities of Technology (1800s flavor).
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Around the World in 80 Days
The people are pretty, the scenery is pretty, many of the scenes are interesting, but somehow it didn't come together well for me.
I liked the casting of Fix and Passepartout, and the expansion of their stories.
Yet overall, somehow...meh.

I’m enjoying Phogg’s character arc so far. (I’ve watched through episode three.) and I don’t recall reading the book, so it’s all new to me. But I’m a Tennant fan, which may be coloring my view.

Catching up on Resident Alien.
Season 2 is less funny than season 1, and I'm still not sure I actually like the show.
But at least Enver Gjokaj got a role!

Well, sad to say, it was a very brief appearance.

Thank you for reporting it, anyhow

I've been rewatching the 1998 BBC series Ultraviolet on Tubi and quite enjoying it. Also realizing that John Davenport of the late 90s looked A LOT like a black-haired Chris Evans.

I liked Ultraviolet enough that I bought the DVD set. Haven't re-watched in a long time, though. I should do that.

Oh, hey, I remember hearing about Ultraviolet a million years ago but never found a way to watch it. Looks like it’s on Prime now. So that goes on the To Be Watched list which is getting almost as unwieldy as the To Be Read…
