I haven’t seen it myself, but I’ve heard decent things about it.
It’s set in the early 1900s and is a 3 part miniseries.
It just came out late last year, hence my confusion.

I did not see the Mars miniseries, so I did not post.

And yes, firefly was one of the more accurate science-fiction shows to date. Odd that you would ask about that , here of all places.

There's actually another 'War of the Worlds' tv series from 1988 that airs Sunday nights on H&I channel. It ran for two seasons. I'll be watching that one too starting this week with episode 3. So many War of the Worlds, so little time!

I remember that show! It was actually a sequel to the 1950s movie.

Riiiight, because flying a gazillion miles to get heist jobs pays so well and space fuel is so cheap. And just River is pretty tetchy "science." Besides "silence in space" I'm sure there are plenty of holes.

You failed to capitalize "Firefly" btw - science!

I loved the original movie/story. Talk about a great surprise ending - brilliant.

Episode 2 was not very good, unless you like hearing the F-word a lot. Pretty disappointing.

Yep, it was pretty sad. A bit tedius, things that were so forced and a bit too cliche (black dude with a gun in a convenience store gets caught by the white owner - cue the racial tension). If you can stay in an empty hotel why not the penthouse? Military personal that don't know enough to take cover when being shot at (especially by an amazing shot). And what the eff were they doing away from their barracks? Shopping? The scientist and the little girl run INTO the building that the aliens are on top of... my god. Even the music and sound score - which I thought were good at first - starting getting a bit much.
The only thing that saved it was the last scene where the Boston Dynamics 'bot chased that human down - that was pretty cool and "we're so screwed" kind of way.
