It's there actually anything (fantasy/sci fi) to watch on prime?

It doesn't end abruptly, it ends at a a natural pause in the books timelines.

As stated above there's a 30 year jump between book 6 (where the tv show ended) and where book 7 begins.

I was responding to a comment regarding the martial arts sci-fi/post apocalyptic show called Into the Badlands:

Into the Badlands (TV Series 2015–2019) ⭐ 7.9 | Action, Adventure, Drama

42m | 15

I really enjoyed the first season but there was quite an abrupt tonal shift in the 2nd season I couldn't get on with so never watched anymore.

The second season does change things up, but I stuck it out and found myself really enjoying some of the new locations and the introductions of a few new characters.

I really liked Nick Frost's character.

Think we have a little cross talk between Expanse and Into The Badlands.

Yeah, I've been flicking in and out of the thread whilst at work... got myself a little confused :cry:

Yeah, oops. On my part, I really enjoyed The Expanse too. I'm not much of a reader but the show did make me curious enough to pick up the books and carry on through the time skip.

I was thinking about watching Into The Badlands. Post-apocalyptic martial arts action? C'mon, I'm in! Actually found it while checking out the new actress from Foundation Season 2, which while not on Prime, is worth watching if you're into sci-fi.

Tales From The Loop, if it's still available on there.

I really liked Into the Expanse. It's set in the future when the private armies of barons from Earth, Mars and the Belt have epic martial arts fights in space. Until they get eaten by an alien.

For me it's just too complicated. Dark is the other one. I want to like it. But I just get lost in the information overload

I've added some of the other stuff to try

Dark is some of the best tv I've watched in years. You try and give it another go.

I've tried. And I can tell its good. But the complex story and sub titles is too much and I can't follow it.

Maybe try it dubbed. I got used to it dubbed as the other half wouldn't watch it with subtitles on.

Really enjoyed rings of power. Probably got time for another series. Will be re trawling this thread for candidates!

Edit. Peripheral. Looks interesting. Good reviews. Will try that.

Oh jeez watch the expanse it's a modern Sci-Fi masterpiece.

One of my favourite characters in any series, and the character arc for him is great, especially if you've read the short story/novella about him before he left earth.

Not really super keen on peripheral. I mean it's not too bad. But the time travel stuff is. So full. Of loop holes it's hard to over look.

Its not that it's bad. It's just hard to look past it

Not sure I'll get to start and finish another show before trial ends
