I am sick of seeing the rich and powerful on my screen. Where are all the TV shows about normal people?

Fuck that shit, I want to watch sci fi
im currently watching the orville, its perfect to just forget everything and be entertained in on a silly level
can recommend
I'm sooo hyped that it's coming back with another season! Just the show we need these days.
Nice! All hope was lost. That last season was some good stuff.
even more?! NIIIICE
Ooh that sounds perfect right now. Lost my pup recently and really need just some good distraction. I’ll check that out today, thank you! And with that username, I’m very excited by your suggestion :)
my families dog is also getting old.. idk this might hit me the hardest, I cant imagine how you feel rn - my condolences.
Arrakis.. yeah, I gotta watch Dune too :D Haven't yet. The name is originating from the kyrillic translation since peanut is such widespread nickname, I adapted it like that :D "Arachis hypogaea" is also the bontanic term for example
Thanks, yeah it’s a tough journey. I was thankfully able to spend a lot of time with her up to the end and she was very comfortable and I can say she had a good life so I am okay with that. Our fur babies are truly something special and the time we get with them is just incredible.
Ahh I see that now in the name hah, TIL! I dig it! Check Dune, it’s phenomenal
I've been rewatching The Expanse. God it's good.
I just read the summary for that and it sounds awesome, I’ll check that out, thank you!
Both books and TV series are worth it. There's enough difference to make both interesting and the authors were involved enough in the TV series that it is still good.
Bonus: The book series is complete and, while there is another book and some short stories of narrative content, the show ends without a "we got cancelled" cliffhanger and the final book is a bit of an extended epilogue with a significant time gap, so, maybe we'll get a production of another season in another decade.
Double bonus: The authors' new book series, which just has its first book released last year, has already had a TV series deal signed.
