Just binged season 3 of Travelers on Netflix. Intelligent sci fi. Well worth a look if you haven’t!
Finished Travelers S3 up earlier today.
I was blown away by S1 when it came out and couldn't wait to see S2.
But I was strongly disappointed in S2 and even much more with S3.
I like a continuing story arc where each episode builds off the previous. Travelers started to intersperse some irrelevant episodes in S2 and more so in S3 (Naomi as an example).
What they did with Hall's character I thought would have been better way to deal with David.
Travelers begun as a serialized show but then slowly metastasized into a hybrid of serial/procedural.
The last two seasons of Travelers really felt like a regular cable tv show. Despite the allowance of vulgarity, which I appreciate
The last time I watched X-Files I followed along a guide that only included episodes that were important to the X-Files mythology and it was great.
I really enjoyed watching X-Files that way and it saved some time.

It is such a great concept for a sci-fi show, really fucking great, and I even enjoy most of the actors but I thought season 1 was the best of them all.
Of course, with all that said, I will watch season 4 if it comes out because anything with sci-fi gets my attention. But I would not be surprised if it got cancelled.
I disliked Jeff's character the whole series hehe.
Now I have to decide what to watch next. 'Nightflyers' which is a sci-fi but has sub par ratings and also George R.R. Martin has writing credits for all 10 episodes or 'The Haunting of Hill House'.
Also waiting patiently for season 4 of 'The Expanse'.
By the way, Origin, is the best new sci-fi show I've seen in 2018. Character backgrounds are so well done.
The show 'Counterpart''s first season started in Dec 2017 or I probably would have said that one.
Origin's first 2 episodes can be watched on Youtube for free. Since it was Youtube/GOOGLE production.
