A New Space Adventure on Apple TV
It's not just for nerds anymore.
More people are watching and loving it. This means TV companies are making better sci-fi shows. There's something for everyone now.
The Expanse: A Legendary Sci-fi Show
Four years ago, a fantastic sci-fi show ended. It was called The Expanse. Many people thought it was the best sci-fi show of this century. It had:
- Amazing stories
- Characters
- World-building
The show mixed space opera with hard sci-fi. This is a rare thing to do well. The Expanse had a great understanding of:
- Space physics
- Human technology
It was set in a future where humans live all over our solar system. There were conflicts between different groups of people. This made the show very exciting.
Foundation: A Worthy Successor
Now, Apple TV has a new show called Foundation. It's a space opera like The Expanse. The show is based on books by Isaac Asimov. It's about people trying to save humanity.
- The show is not exactly like the books.
- But it's still very good.
- It has great production value and storytelling.
- The cast is fantastic.
It's not quite as good as The Expanse. But it's a worthy successor.
The Future of Space Operas
Space operas are hard to make these days. They need:
- Long seasons to build the world and characters.
- They also cost a lot of money.
But shows like The Expanse and Foundation prove that space operas can still be successful. They just need to change a bit to fit what people want to watch now.
