I like the idea of having a futuristic show but where the crew have the same problems we have today (I've heard The Expanse is similar but I haven't watched it). I just wonder if they'll be successfully able to balance between humor and actual engaging storylines.

I watched Rocco. Documentary about porn superstar Rocco Siffredi. He's charming, stylish, and flamboyant...yet at the same time super hardcore, violent, and a ferocious performer on screen. I think he's done over 700 films, and has probably banged at least 3000 women in his time.
Anyway, this documentary takes a not-so-in-depth look at his history and personal life, and chronicles his final year as a performer. Though I've read he hasn't fully retired, even though he has a wife (ex-pornstar herself) and two adult sons. It also give us a bit of an inside look at the porn industry itself, which in my opinion is a very ugly business. But to each their own.
I would love to see a doc about Traci Lords just to see how fucked up of a childhood she had that led her into porn at 15.
You simply MUST! best Hard Sci-Fi since, erm, the Battlestar Galactica reboot? it's very, VERY good. Takes a couple of Episodes to build up steam, but by around episode 3 I was hooked.Originally Posted by MR2 Fan
Also, if you can, read the Expanse books
Oh, yes, the books are great.
Finally finished second season of Preacher. Honestly? It was an hit and miss season, very boring in some parts, although some others, like Herr Starr were hilarious. Too much time spent in a single placeall the time, too much time spent inSpoiler:, too.Spoiler:
Let's hope it picks again steam in the third season what withand new locations... but ratings have been dwindling bad, lately, so there's always the risk of the series being axed.Spoiler:
Well, that said, I can know concentrate on the second and third (final) season of Penny Dreadful!
I will still think about The Expanse... I've still to watch Daredevil, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage (fuck Ironfist) but everytime I could start... I ask myself why I should? I mean, more superheroish fare? I dunno, but I'm starting to get really bored by superheroes stories.
Maybe start with Jessica Jones?
I think Luke Cage was great. Of all of the Marvel hero shows, I think it is worth a look. I also enjoyed DD. Iron Fist was weak, as was The Defenders. JJ just annoyed me.
I suggest Dark Matter if you like sci-fi. It's kind of like a more-serious Firefly.

There was a documentary on, I think it was the Biography channel, Tracy Lords about 10-15 years ago and it was pretty good. Like with pretty much every porn star there is either sexual abuse or physical abuse or both in their childhood. She is from right near where I live, Stuebenville, Ohio.
There is a pretty good documentary on Netflix as well called After Porn or After the Porn Stops, something like that. There is a second one as well but I haven't watched it yet. Does a pretty good job of giving perspective on the actors and what their life is like after getting out of the business.
