    Sci-Fi is an extremely broad genre, and I was mostly trying to keep things vague and spoiler-free; but

    spoiler

    this series did two main things that I’ve never seen at this level: creating a real sense of someplace “alien”, something that is so far from human comprehension that the characters AND the viewer are both totally at a loss; and I adored the way it recreated the visual style of classic Sci-Fi visual artists (mostly Bande Dessinée, including the likes of Moebius, Jodorowski, and the Métal Hurlant crowd).

    Here’s a short selection of series that really stood out for me over the past few years.

    All are there for different reasons, but they were all quite amazing IMHO. (also, I’ve included spoiler-free summaries 😉)

    Devs (2020) A software engineer investigates the secretive quantum computing division of her cutting-edge tech company after her boyfriend goes missing.

    Our Flag Means Death An 18th-century aristocrat abandons his life of luxury to become a pirate.

    Scavengers Reign When a deep-space freighter crashes on a beautiful but profoundly perilous alien planet, the scattered surviving crew must navigate a surreal, violently interconnected ecosystem in a desperate bid for rescue.

    Killing Eve A bored MI5 security officer and a glamorous, unpredictable assassin become locked in a deadly, globe-trotting game of cat-and-mouse.

    Utopia (UK) A group of online forum members unearths a bizarre graphic novel rumored to predict global disasters, suddenly finding themselves hunted by a ruthless, shadowy organization.

    My issue with this illustration vs “the dress” is that in the dress, the background is bright, not a darker blue.

    In theory, this illustration just serves to show that nobody should be seeing “the dress” as white and gold. Thy do, and that breaks my brain, but I still feel that there is no logical way for that to be justified (and yes, I read all the research).

    This.

    When studying architecture, one of the things I discovered is how well modern buildings can fit together with pretty much any older style… but it has to be done with a little bit of finesse. The lack of a gate and ugly lawn here are pretty bad.

    The house on the left though… That’s a crime against good taste.
