S1 E5: SciFi TV: The New Golden Age →

October 08, 2021 by Garen

Season 1 Episode 5: Joining MC Michelle Barbera is Den of Geek's TV maven Michael Ahr and MIT Tech Review's Erin Underwood.

Back in the day, science fiction on television was all TWILIGHT ZONE, OUTER LIMITS, the original STAR TREK, and if you really pushed it, MY FAVORITE MARTIAN.

These days the plots are intricate, and smart. These days the shows push boundaries no TV show has pushed before. These days it is the reboot of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA. These days it is the edgy,THE EXPANSE. These days it is a throwback STRANGER THINGS. These days it was once unfilmmable FOUNDATION. Oh, did we mention how incredible the SFX are?

Boston ScIFi takes a deep dive into the how and the why we are seeing and experiencing so much great TV. Listen in. The Future is Now. The Golden Age of TV is Now.
