Intelligent and sophisticated SciFi

I've never read the books. I own them but have not yet read them.

I love this tv show. I love the scope and scale, the elegance and sophistication. I love the big ideas and the humanity. The characters feel like real people rather than Science Fiction caricatures. It's complex but not impenetrable. It rewards you for paying attention and allows you to make up your own mind. The performances are universally compelling and the dialogue playful and nuanced. It's fun when it needs to be and has emotional weight.

It's a big old treat on the eyes and I can't wait to see where it goes next.

It starts slow but it's worth investing your time.
