Firefly
OK, OK, I know it's not obscure or forgotten, but why has nobody done something similar since?
You talk about it as if it was revolutionary. The concept is a defined genre. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan, but the concepts are not revolutionary at all. What makes the series great is the plots, writing, casting and acting. Oh, and you have the mix of frontier/tech in many current series, like Andor or Foundation, for example.
I didn't mean to suggest it was original or revolutionary. But despite that, there hasn't really been another series with that vibe since.
Literally my first thought when I opened this thread.
I liked Dark Matter a lot, and I think there were some similarities.
But they were very different.
I'm watching through it now and it is very similar but definitely not up to the same level.
Yes, I enjoyed that, true. But it wasn't at the same level as Firefly.
