For me I would say “The Expanse” is a huge one. If there was ever a self made family, the crew of the Rocinante is one of the best. The amount of time they spend together and how they congeal into life long partners and friends in the face of some truly awful events is really inspiring to me.

    If you haven’t read the books, I can not recommend them enough. The show is great! But the books are so much deeper and continue the story much further.

      I’m further in the books (audiobooks actually) than the show but both are pretty great

        They are really solid audiobooks. Jefferson Mayes (I think that’s who narrates) really kills it. Except for his pronunciation of Gimbal, that one drives me crazy!

          At one point I had a throat infection and it really messed up my voice, so I kinda sounded like Avisarula from that series. You could tell which of my co-workers were fans when I’d slip “and James Holden will probably fuck the whole thing up” into a conversation
