Most Scifi fans I have ran into can pretty quickly rank the four stars –BattleSTAR Galactica, STAR Trek, STARgate, and STAR wars, but what lesser-known or less-prestigious shows hold a special place in your heart?

No, Firefly doesn’t count as lesser-known.

It’s definitely not lesser known, but my favorite is The Expanse.

This would be mine too - it’s the one series that I’ve actually been back and re-watched multiple times, and I’ve gone back to the books too.

In contrast to others comments I’m not sure I want any more seasons of it. I loved the current set but it feels like it ran its course and I’m not sure I need anything more.

I would do unspeakable things for more stories set in the Expanse universe. The TV series should at least get another season or two in order to catch up to the last two books and I think it would be great if the authors/showrunners could explore some of the side plots more fully.

Agreed! I would absolutely love them to finish off the story. The show does such an incredible job of developing deep characters and a generally realistic world, I always try to recruit new fans when someone asks for a recommendation.

It’s happening! The story directly after the show and in between the 20+ year gap to the next book is now being told in the new comic book series. The Expanse: Dragon Tooth furthers the story of where we last left off. I’m planning to get the whole volume after all the issues release.

Also, if you haven’t checked into it yet, The Expanse video game from Telltale is a prequel with Cara Gee returning to once again be the voice of Camina Drummer!

Wait, didn’t Telltale go out of business?

I really liked the last two books. I thought I wouldn’t care after the time jump but I was super wrong. I liked the show but I loved the books.
