Nothing has hurt movies & degraded the value of film making more in 50 years than filthy shitholes like #screenrant which is full of losers who couldn't make it as a filmmaker themselves & never able to create anything valuable in their entire lives yet criticize everything under the sun.

Prime Video’s New Sci-Fi Show From The Expanse Author Is The Space Opera TV Needs Right Now
By Dani Kessel Odom, Published 2 days ago
Dani Kessel Odom (they/them) is an autistic lead writer on the New TV team, focusing on writing and content planning for streaming shows. They often assist with Classic TV coverage, as well. They have covered events, such as Denver Fan Expo. Their articles have also been shared by professionals in the field, such as Damien Leone and Lucy Hale.
In university, they majored in English Writing with a minor in psychology. They have always had a passion for analyzing TV and movies, even taking filmography and scriptwriting classes in university. They also studied and participated in onstage and onscreen acting extensively from the ages of 7 to 18. Aside from working at Screen Rant, Dani has worked as a freelance editor and writer over the past decade, often in a ghostwriting capacity.Prime Video’s upcoming sci-fi show from the writer of The Expanse is already slated to be the best space opera on TV. The sci-fi genre is still going strong, but the space opera subgenre isn’t very common on TV anymore, outside of Star Wars. Sci-fi tends to shift with public concerns. As such, there is great interest in cyberpunk (which will be the highlight of 2026), dystopian sci-fi, and realistic sci-fi.
However, there’s still an argument to be made for space operas, which often make commentary on war and politics. They usually get to the heart of what it means to be human, even when alien species are involved. Plus, they are just a ton of fun to watch.
The sci-fi subgenre is also just as relevant and entertaining as ever. Luckily, one of the most exciting upcoming sci-fi TV shows based on a book is The Captive’s War, a space opera that TV needs to revitalize the subgenre.
Prime Video Is Adapting The Captive’s War Series By James SA Corey
Before the first book in the series ever came out, Prime Video picked up the rights to produce the sci-fi series The Captive’s War, which is written by James S.A. Corey (the pen name of the duo Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck). Corey previously wrote The Expanse, which was turned into a TV show by SyFy and Amazon.
The Captive’s War TV show will have the same team that created The Expanse. The previous series’s showrunner, Naren Shankar, will serve as executive producer, writer, and showrunner. The books’ authors, Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck, will serve as writers. Finally, The Expanse’s director, Breck Eisner, will also direct The Captive’s War.
The upcoming series comes as a part of the development deal between Amazon, MGM Studios, and the new multi-platform media company Expanding Universe, which was founded by Abraham, Franck, Shankar, and Eisner. Because the authors are directly working on the project, they can co-produce the books and TV show without it causing problems with narrative consistency.
The Captive’s War Has An Epic Scope & Storyline
The Captive’s War book series will include 3 books and 2 novellas. As of the time of writing, one book and one novella are out. The first book, The Mercy of the Gods, and the first novella, Livesuit, lay all the groundwork for the story to become a full-on space opera.

Although the inciting incident in the books is Carryx invading the human planet of Anjin, it’s clear they’ve done this before. Plus, we meet other alien species, making the scope pretty grand.

Fringe: The Ultimate Episodic Sci-Fi Show of the 21st Century
Fringe Was The Ultimate Episodic Sci-Fi TV Show Of The 21st Century
By Rob Sperduto, Published 2 days ago
Rob Sperduto is a Contributor for Screen Rant, covering Classiv TV. He’s covered film, TV, and video games for 5 years, combining sharp editorial judgment with a storyteller’s eye. Known for his insightful analysis and clear voice, Rob helps audiences understand not just what’s trending, but why it matters. He is always looking for the next great story across all media.
Rob is also a content strategist, and his work can be seen across The Direct, Attack of the Fanboy, We Got This Covered, and Pro Game Guides.
Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents:
Fringe was the kind of show that doesn’t exist anymore—strange, ambitious, yet patient enough to play the long game of procedural network television. Premiering in 2008, it followed Agent Olivia Dunham, scientist Walter Bishop, and his son Peter as they investigated the edges of modern science for the FBI’s Fringe Division.
What started as one of the best monster-of-the-week horror shows slowly unraveled into a story about loss, memory, and the limits of reason. The show’s science fiction was rooted in universal storytelling, where every experiment was carried out by people trying to fix what life had already taken.
That blend of invention and empathy made Fringe feel distinct even in its era. It was mysterious as far as shows like Lost go, and had the structure of The X-Files, but it carried itself with more sincerity. And its storytelling asked for the same stamina it gave; a demanding 20+ episodes per season. Fringe demanded investment, and it earned it by making every anomaly feel human.
Fringe Was The Ultimate Episodic Sci-Fi TV Show Of The 21st Century
Every week, Fringe opened with something impossible, like a plane full of crystallized corpses, a man aging decades in minutes, or a city caught between universes, and it thrived on that structure. The cases were bizarre, but the rhythm was deliberate, and within that rhythm, the show found room for emotion to surface in ways serialized dramas rarely allow.
Walter Bishop’s experiments carried the show’s moral gravity, where every discovery felt like restitution for what he’d done to his son, and every new case echoed the same guilt in different forms. Olivia Dunham’s composure gave those stories weight, frequently grounding the science in human cost, and she was always studying the consequences of hunting monsters.

Blade Runner 2099: The Live-Action Cyberpunk Show to Replace Altered Carbon – Screen Rant
By Sean Morrison, Published 2 days ago
From article…The upcoming TV show Blade Runner 2099 is exciting in its own right, but it’s also a chance to replace an underrated cyberpunk series from Netflix. Blade Runner essentially created (or at least popularized) the cyberpunk sub-genre of science fiction. Since Ridley Scott’s 1982 movie, Blade Runner has continued to be a staple of the genre, and the upcoming series Blade Runner 2099 should continue that.
While cyberpunk has always had Blade Runner to fall back on, the genre has been lacking in live-action recently. There are plenty of great cyberpunk anime shows and video games, but live-action cyberpunk movies and shows haven’t gotten as much attention. Blade Runner 2099 should change that, and it could be the first time cyberpunk has had a great live-action installment since 2020.
Blade Runner 2099 Should Have The Best Cyberpunk Vibes Since Altered Carbon Was Canceled
From article…When Blade Runner 2099 releases in 2026, it could easily become the best live-action cyberpunk show since Altered Carbon. Back in 2018, Altered Carbon was the prime example of how to put cyberpunk into a live-action serialized format. The show’s atmosphere and world, its plot, futuristic tech, philosophical questions, and everything else all combined to make a great cyberpunk story.

10 Underrated Sci-Fi Series on Netflix You Need to Discover – Screen Rant
From article… From article…Sci-fi has long been a staple of Netflix’s catalog, with original series like Stranger Things and Dark serving as flagship genre-defining hits. The platform has also bolstered its library with licensed titles such as Resident Alien and The Lazarus Project, proving its ability to offer both globally beloved series and lesser-known cult favorites. Few streaming services can rival Netflix’s sci-fi credentials.
The only downside to having such heavy-hitting, culture-shaping shows on the platform is that plenty of others inevitably slip through the cracks. While subscribers flock to the biggest names in the genre, there are dozens of excellent sci-fi shows on Netflix that remain underappreciated. Some are international productions with niche followings, while others never got the mainstream recognition they deserved despite strong critical acclaim.
These underrated gems absolutely must not be missed by sci-fi fans. These obscure sci-fi TV shows on Netflix deliver gripping stories, inventive concepts, and fascinating world-building. Each one proves that sometimes the best discoveries on the platform aren’t the chart-topping blockbusters, but the hidden treasures waiting just beneath the surface.
10 Tribes Of Europa (2021)
A Post-Apocalyptic Future Divided By Warring Factions
From article…Set in the year 2074, the German sci-fi show Tribes of Europa imagines a fractured continent following a mysterious global disaster. Europe is split into competing microstates, with tribes battling for power and survival. The story of Tribes of Europa follows siblings Kiano (Emilio Sakraya), Liv (Henriette Confurius), and Elja (David Ali Rashed), whose lives change after they stumble upon a powerful cube that could reshape the future.
What makes the series so compelling is its mix of post-apocalyptic grit with a distinctly European flavor. The show isn’t afraid to explore sociopolitical allegories, mirroring real-world tensions in its portrayal of fractured unity and tribalism. At the same time, it delivers high-stakes battles, striking visuals, and unique world-building that set it apart from other dystopian dramas.
Despite its strong concept, Tribes of Europa never became a breakout hit, overshadowed by bigger Netflix sci-fi offerings. Still, its ambitious scope and imaginative setting make it one of the obscure sci-fi TV shows on Netflix most worth uncovering.

It's so cool that #HaydenChristensen is back in #StarWars, and that the fans are largely positive about it.
I still remember not too long ago, a #ScreenRant (Honest Trailers, IIRC) video nicknamed him "Heydon't Actagain."
^___^Of course, it does help to NOT have lines written by #GeorgeLucas. 😅
