Help me pick a sci-fi show!

I like Andor i just think the pace is a bit slow at times. Great grounded show though.

YOOOOO LETS GOOOOO ANDOOOOOOOOOOOOR

It'd be nice to get Resident Alien in the mix. Alan Tudyk is brilliant.

Finally FUCK. Andor is way too long overdue.

You really should put the option for just the top 5-10 Star Trek Episodes since a lot of the episodes are super dated and can be rough to get through.

I have not watched the new ANDOR so that could be fun

Can people stop crying about Andor now?

The Expanse and Andor are both really good shows. I hope to see you react to both soon enough.

This is tough, as I like all four! My vote would go to The Expanse Season 1. It had such a strong start and built a fantastic world. I can see why Andor Season 1 is leading though. it was truly excellent. A bit sad to see Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 1 at the bottom, but honestly, any of these are great sci-fi picks!"

3 body problem

i also HIGHLY recommend Foundation, its based of the book series by Isaac Asimov and its so good, much grander scale than most scifi, manages a good balance of personal issues with grand scale issues, it also has some incredibly unique concepts i think you would really enjoy.

I know people are gonna be tired of Star Wars after Andor, but I hope to see Clone Wars on another animated/longform show poll soon 🙏🏻 There really is some fantastic stories there, and the characterisation of the clones is so good 😭 sure we gotta wade through some of the guff like the animated movie, but it introduces Ahsoka - maybe the most beloved new Star Wars characters ever

Hey Nat I don’t know if you’ve seen Battlestar (2004) but that would be my choice. Out of the four I’d pick the Expanse but I’d suggest watching BSG before that

Voted for The Expanse. I’m not a Trek/Wars kind of person. I’d recommend DEVS or Orphan Black as fitting follow-ups to Severance but The Expanse has some good mysteries and space stuff going on.

Surprised Babylon 5 isn’t in this list. It may be old but its storytelling is exceptionally good. It made Sci-fi what it is today. It also has some of the best character arcs in cinema.

You should watch Andor 3 episodes at a time, each set of 3 is like a chapter

Andorians we finally won

Sophie's Choice... but with 4 children. I voted for "Andor: Season 1" because it's the most recent and "topical" since Season 2 (NO SPOILERS) wrapped up a couple of weeks ago. The only issue with "Andor" is that it's a slow burn, but with incredibly satisfying payoffs. It elevates Star Wars from the sci-fi/fantasy space opera popcorn flick category (which I love) to a top-tier sci-fi/drama. I'm confident Natalie will enjoy it... although she needs to watch it Season 2-style in 3-episode arcs. I suppose her reaction videos can be released as single episodes, but it's best to watch each arc in one sitting. (TBH, it was a struggle watching the first season week-to-week.) "The Expanse" is an incredible series. Objectively, the most realistic sci-fi series I've ever watched, but with tense action, genuine drama and intrigue too. "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" is excellent OVERALL, but there are numerous episodes that can and should be skipped (all the Jar-Jar episodes, the Droids eps, arguably most of the Padme eps, plenty of others). The best part of the CG animated series is the character arc of Ahsoka Tano, who was justifiably HATED in The Clone Wars movie because David Filoni deliberately wrote her with character flaws, which were masterfully resolved over the course of the series. Ahsoka is the antithesis of all the insufferable girlbosses Disney and Kathleen Kennedy have created since they bought Star Wars. Ahsoka's character started as youthful, sassy, and reckless, but at a reasonable power and skill level; she wasn't flawless and OP. Specific episodes addressed each of her character flaws, and there was continuity to her character development. By the time of the trial arc and the series finale, Ahsoka had EARNED her place as a fan favourite, and you believed she could and would do everything she did. The final two episodes were the most tense and emotional of the entire series, and I'm certain that Natalie will appreciate the long journey to reach the pinnacle of "The Clone Wars." The only issue is that I don't think there's any way to avoid watching the terrible Clone Wars CG animated film, as it introduced Ahsoka. Maybe there's an abridged cut on YouTube that covers her introduction, and that'll be enough. "Star Trek TOS" is Star Trek. I grew up with TNG; I couldn't stand TOS at the time, but gave it another chance more recently and grew to appreciate it, mostly. TOS is really old school with 3 seasons that range from 24 to 29 episodes long. IF Natalie eventually watches TOS, I suggest she do it similar to how Cassie from Popcorn In Bed did: Let Patreon members vote on the best 4-6 episodes per season, which best represent the series and are relevant to the films -- which I assume she'd watch next.

Shouts "black mirror" into the void!

Star Trek: TOS. The Bible of Starfleet. To quote Movie 1’s tagline, There Is No Comparison. 😎

Yellowjackets is a great show for future polls!

I’m so glad Andor is locked in for a win. Might I suggest doing it in batches of 3 episodes. They are narratively structured that way, you get the most bang for your buck reacting that way. Plus you can finish it quicker that way too, and then give the expanse a try.

Bruh Star Wars slop over the Expanse is crazy

She will appreciate Andor the most, so let her watch it! It’s the highest quality show on the list that connects the most emotionally as well.

The Expanse is so good. Star Wars I don't really consider sci-fi because its really fantasy. It starts with a long time ago in a kingdom far away.

I really love Star Wars the Clone Wars but it is definitely a commitment and has a bit more of a complicated watch order for new people to get hooked on it, because there are definitely some episodes in season one that aren’t very good. The Clone Wars does have some really good Arcs and introduces and builds upon so many cool characters.

Why does no one ever watch The Expanse? Top tier sci-fi.

Andore is not only the best Star Wars shows ever, but just an outstanding show. The story, the acting, the cinematography are peak in every way. Season 2 was top 5 in viewership throught the show. Also, 23 Emmy nominations on the way.

Really torn between Andor and The Expanse, both are phenomenal shows, but ended up voting for Andor. Please continue putting The Expanse in polls, though.

Black Mirror!

There are two scenes in Andor season 1 that I wish I could see again for the first time: I will envy you at those times

Is Star Wars science-fiction? I always saw it as a medieval fantasy masquerading as science fiction. I think it is more like Lord of the Rings than Star Trek.

The Expanse & then later And or vice versa. I'd love to watch both of them with you 😀

I went Star Trek. However, the correct answer for me is For All Mankind. I also would be interested in Babylon 5 or Battlestar Galactica.

Beltalowda! For the Belt!

Farscape would be a good time

If she doesn't do Andor now, she never will🤞

AFTER SO MUCH GIVING I FINALLY GET TO RECIEVEEEE!! CLONE WARS ON A POLL! Third place BUT it’s progress! Funny thing to remember about Clone Wars is that the first few season aired out of order, kind of like an anthology, and only around season 3 did it start to get more linear. But they all connect if you jumble the order around a little lol Nat, I’d be happy to send you some watchlists for the show that A) Put the episodes in chronological order, and B) cut out some filler to make it an easier watch. Episodes are only around 30 mins so we could even squeeze in 2 a day like Avatar if you wanted :) Andor is good, but Clone Wars kept Star Wars alive! Some of the arcs on that show are genuinely amazing. Probably the most important show to watch if you wanna jump into Star Wars and actually ENJOY it again 🥹 next poll, i believe

Happy Wednesday Nat. Wasn't a big fan of Andor so going to vote for some classic Trek this time around. Have an awesome day 💛

Star Trek TOS would be fun if just watching the good episodes. Same thing with Clone Wars, just watch the good, canon episodes and cut out the filler.

Andor is fantastic, second season (after a shaky start) continued the winning streak too. The Expanse is also good, I thought season 4 was a little weak, but the rest is great. And even though at heart I'm a Trekkie, I can't recommend Star Trek the OG series. It's just too slow, dated and long. Maybe watch the old (or the newish) movies, you don't really need all the expanded backstory from the series, its not that hard. I've never seen Clone Wars and I don't think I ever will.

Andor is incredible! You may want to revisit your Rogue One reaction before Andor just to refresh your memory, I had only seen it once in theatres and kind of forgot Andor’s whole character when I started the show

The Expense do it for da Belt !!!

Clone Wars is awesome, but definitely way too long and has some blemishes that could be frustrating. Idk if it’s worth starting.

I hope Nat eventually gets on to the Star Wars animated stuff since it does have legitimately great stuff

Damn having to pick between Andor and Clone Wars. Though I’ve got to admit I’d be voting for Clone wars to hope for the progression to the really cool stuff later on including eventual covering Rebels.

I love The Expanse so much but Andor is just so good

Man, I am pulling for Expanse but I think this might finally be Andor's time to shine. I haven't seen it, but heard great things so I won't be too upset if it beats out the Rocinante crew.

I am happy Andor is getting a chance to shine, and all those Nattie fans who have been disappointed with Andor losing for literally YEARS now will have their opportunity! I think if you read a lot of the comments for people who have seen the Expanse and Andor both, the consensus is that Andor is good Star Wars, but The Expanse is better Sci-Fi. I concur! Not sad Andor is winning, but I do hope Natalie gets a chance to do the Expanse.

There is some backstory in Clone Wars and Rebels for Andor, but that won't make a difference in the viewing.

The rest of the shows are good and great television, but Andor is like a masterpiece of writing, direction, and performance especially when viewed as a whole. Season 2 really brought home how the whole show was put together as one vision instead of separate episodes.

I needed a break from disney after Boba Fatt. That show killed the fan in me. I canceled Dplus after Boba Fatt episode 3. I think the Expense is great TV. Maybe I'll get lucky and Nat will throw me a bone by watching Kelly's Heroes or Fun with Dick and Jane with Jane Fonda to break up so much disney.

Would have voted clone wars but s1 was kinda weak and the best way to watch is in chronological episode ordering not release ordering

Andor is by far the best Star Wars there is apart from the movie Rogue One. Clone Wars is EXCELLENT, but I doubt you'd do all the seasons, so what's the point?

The Expanse is an exceptionally good show. It gets my vote. I've heard good things about Andor, but I haven't seen it.

Would have voted for Clone Wars, but I just finished a rewatch, plus thats a huge commitment. And if you are up to that level of commitment I would rather you do The 100. The best worst show ever.

Andor or Expanse please!!!!

I voted for The Expanse. Best Sci-fi show I have seen

The Orville is great, if you wanted a mix of sci fi and comedy

Tough choice. Andor is peak Star Wars. But The Expanse is peak sci-fi. Hope both make it

I know the Clone Wars is a great commitment, and some of it is mediocre. It adds so much and is so loved by the fans that it has basically a much see if you want to understand Star Wars. Many of members of the Lucasfilm Story Group( the group that ACTUALLY makes story decisions for Star Wars) first came together to work on the Clone Wars series under George Lucas himself. From Clone Wars, you get both The Bad Batch and Rebels, both series that you should check out

Very funny how everyone is like “oh of course Andor is winning” as if it hasn’t lost 57 polls on this channel at this point.

Andor may be a good show in technical sense, but it will bore the shit out of Natalie. Don’t force her to watch something she won’t enjoy.

Voted for The Expanse, since I have not seen it myself, and have heard so much good about it! But I am not mad about rewatching Andor :)

It was over when Andor was one of the shows

I just want to take the opportunity to remind people that Babylon 5 exists, arguably one of the best sci-fi shows ever produced and my personal number one.

Andor was perfection but The Expanse is one of my favorite shows. Either way can't really go wrong.

My 2 cents: Clone Wars is a bad choice unless you're committed to getting through all 7 seasons/ 133 episodes. Season 1 is fine, but not great. It really picks up only after season 3.

Just gonna chime in once again with Babylon 5. If you want to meet the granddaddy of modern sci fi storytelling, that's it.

Tried so many times to get through Clone Wars but man is it sluggish with abysmal animation. Just can't bring myself to spend so much time on it

Damn, I love Star Wars and Andor is definitely amazing. But gonna have to go with The Expanse

Murderbot

Clone Wars would be the best era of Natalie golds reactions 😭 ✨️

I like how this poll pulls from the Matrix and gives an illusion of choice.

Oh my andor and clone wars this is a hard choice….

I love Andor but *everyone* is reacting to it right now. I get that the algorithm gods must be appeased but please please please do The Expanse!

Please please please let Andor win people! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Andor and The Expanse on the same list 😭, what to choose

Praying for The Expanse. 🚀

Oh my god Clone Wars made it to a natalie poll!! 😲

Let's go Andor!

How dare anyone dare pick something other than The Expanse.

THE EXPANSE IS FINALLY IN A POLL!!!
