Forever astounded that more people on tumblr aren’t into Dark Matter (2015).
Like??? It has EVERYTHING -this show is about a found family of criminal anti-capitaliststrying to decide who they are and what kind of people they want to be.
It’s about identity, and follows the conflict between who people used to be and who they are. Almost every main character has to decide if they want to go by a chosen name or their given name, and their reasons are all very different and interesting imo.
There’s betrayal, there’s a whole arc centered around royal court machinations with lots of swordplay
It’s also a space western!
There’s duels AND shootouts AND epic space battles
also some romance if that’s your thing but if not dw it’s there but not treated as like… more important than other relationships yknow?
It is ACAB all the way. there’s queer main characters AND one of the best autism/ND robot allegories I’ve ever seen.
Like seriously, if you like science fiction and stories about identity and belonging that are really fun and really cool you should watch dark matter you won’t regret it.
(It’s also free on the CW website lmao go check it out)
