Ummmmmm...
Why don't we leave that to the Japanese and Jordan Peele can ruin something else.

Growing up in a Republic was nice... Shame we couldn't keep it.

There was discussion of shows like Arcane in other threads
I would say the first ep or so of 'Arcane' is pretty good but I'm not sure I will finish it but its sound and visuals are amazing. I hear its based on a game League of Legends which I don't really know other than its a battle game and you have people or animal people things, different characters that battle in a scifi fantasy setting...doesn't sound like much but they made it into a story. I read a French animation studio did all the sound effect and animation, it might have some American style or Japanese style influence, it has 'steampunk' elements but it is unique.

Some ok-ish indie stuff but Think I will stay with South Korea tv and film for now
or re-watch very old shows and movies
more remakes coming, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Snow White 2023-2024? Despicable Me 4, some other Disney Pixar thing, Blade remake, the Captain Marvels, Spider-Man Freshman Year, Our Oceans, the Penguin, Mrs Davis, Citadel, Inside Out II, Clone High again re-make or reimagining, Perry Mason another remake reimagining, Avatar 3, Joker part 2, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, BBC's This Town about 'Ska' might be ok or Succession.
Some of them should be impossible to do wrong they already have shows, books, movies, video game and comicbook, literally paint by numbers and the script already wrote but Hollyweird will find a way to trash its original source material and force its weird politics?
Most look terrible, I might watch an animated toon like Inside Out II

Is 2023 a better movie year??? or maybe wait for 2024 the silly election year
Tv and Movies now on strike
Movies from Last year 2022, maybe Blonde, All Quiet on the Western Front, Top Gun Maverick, Indian 'RRR' and movie The Northman. There are others I wanted to see like 'Death on the Nile' and Hatchling and some overseas indie film which I have yet to see but I think 2022 will be remembered as another year DC Marvel Disney failed, perhaps thanks to their political messages shoved into movies.

staying with the original topic
and to think this place long, long ago was once a fansite for the tv show 'Andromeda'
With movie making and shows you might look at the original European French George Méliès Trip to the Moon or old tv shows like Flash Gordon to see how far it all progressed, xlassic tv like The Twilight Zone or the original Outer Limits or the original Star Trek series. Kubrick's 2001 is a classic. The big movie hits from the 70s to the 90s, StarWars, Aliens, Terminator, Jurassic Park, Solaris 1972 was one of the foreign movies that made it past Soviet censors.
There is the genre of French weirdness, Delicatessen a 1991 French post-apocalyptic black comedy elements of horror, surreal and absurd. Spielberg offers a happier take on Alien contact in Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Arrival 2016 another good watch, the Japanese animation became popular with 'Anime' brand like 'Akira' and 'Ghost in the Shell', WALL-E 2008 American computer-animated Pixar movie is a great watch. John Carpenter's remake of The Thing? 1982 is a classic, an addition to many of the scifi horror great. You have movies like Blade Runner that were hated by critics and flopped at the box office to later become cult hits, 12 Monkeys could be another. Some fans liked David Lynch's Dune and movies fans say are under-rated like 'Edge of Tomorrow'.
We have the modern superhero scifi genre with movies like Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy, Jon Favreau Marvel 'Ironman', James Mangold 'Logan' from the X-Men franchise. Superhero stuff has made it on tv with 'Heroes' and 'Daredevil'. With movies you could look at 'Dark City' or the William Gibson books before Wachowski tranny Brothers / Sisters who did the 'the Matrix'.
You have classic big sfyfy Channel Farscape and Battlestar. The Orville made a comedy out of StarTrek, the tv series Stargate has a number of spin-offs. Old classic scifi Babylon 5 is respected for its great writing, 'Fringe' a supernaturalish scifi Xfiles style show. There are many many ideas that are re-vamped and re-imagined for a modern audience, others like 'V' and 'Lost in Space' have been remade.
The series 'Mandalorian' had a lot of fans. There are a lot of people who enjoyed the indie shorts of 'Love, Death & Robots' there has been some hype about Night Sky and a Japanese style animated Cyberpunk Edgerunners, South Korean tv has come a long way with tv like 'Grid' or 'Glitch' or 'Squid Games' selling high in foreign countries, 'Halo' from a video game franchise got mixed reviews. I enjoyed the first Season of 'Dark Matter' keeps viewers guessing with its twists and turns, some like Resident Alien with Alan Tudyk from Firefly.
