Recommended Sci Fi TV: Childhood’s End (2015) _**Recommended Sci Fi TV:** Science fiction and fantasy shows from the past decade or so that you may have missed and that we believe are worth checking out._ ### What Is It? Based on Arthur C. Clarke’s classic novel of the same name, this mini-series begins when enormous alien spacecraft appear over Earth’s major cities, and the mysterious visitors, known as the Overlords, announce that they intend to guide humanity into a new era of peace and prosperity. With war, poverty, and conflict quickly disappearing under their supervision, humanity enters what appears to be a golden age. But as the decades pass, people begin to wonder about the true motives of their alien benefactors and what their long-term plans might mean for the future of the human race. **Aired:** Syfy, 2015, 1 Season Totaling 3 Episodes **Starring:** Mike Vogel, Osy Ikhile, Daisy Betts, Yael Stone, Georgina Haig, Charles Dance **Developed By:** Matthew Graham **Bottom Line:** This mini-series sticks close to the spirit of Arthur C. Clarke’s classic novel while fleshing it out to deliver a very good sci-fi TV production that deserved more attention than it received. ### Why Is It Worth Watching? 2015 was a notable year for Syfy as they attempted to go back to their sci-fi roots after several years of putting out “genre lite” entries like **_Warehouse 13_** , **_Being Human_** , and **_Haven_**. That year saw the premieres of **_Dark Matter_** and **_Killjoys_** and also brought us the first season of **_The Expanse_**. Along with those, another notable sci-fi entry arrived—the mini-series **_Childhood’s End_** , based on the Arthur C. Clarke book—but it did not get much attention. Very early in the mini-series, we see the iconic scene where the giant spaceships appear over many of Earth’s major cities, and some longtime fans of the genre might groan: “Here we go again.” We have already seen that on television in the **_V_** mini-series from 1983 and then again in the 2009 revival, and we also saw it in 1996 with the feature film **_Independence Day_**. But Clarke was actually the first to do it with his book back in 1953, so the mini-series adaptation can’t be blamed for retreading, and that sense of familiarity you feel throughout the six-hour production comes in large part because he introduced so many concepts that have since become science fiction tropes. But give the mini-series credit for spinning the material in such a way that it does not feel like a hackneyed journey through sci-fi clichés. Instead, it updates this story about aliens arriving on Earth and wresting control from humans who are on the verge of taking their destructive nature into space. And while it takes plenty of liberties with the source material, it still sticks close to the spirit and basic premise of the book. The mini-series shortens the story from a multi-generational tale to a more compact timeframe, but that is done so that it plays better to a television audience and can maintain many of the same characters throughout its three-night run. And since character development was not a strong point of Clarke’s original book, the changes and merging of the lead players do not hamper the production and perhaps even make it stronger. I am not going into too many of the plot details because I believe **_Childhood’s End_** is best experienced as spoiler-free as possible, but I will give a warning that the first installment (the strongest of the three nights) sets up a story that does not play out quite the way you think it will. That’s the same in the book, though, because Clarke was interested in the bigger, more epic story that this eventually morphs into. But the mini-series still does a good job of expanding on the characters and fleshing out some of the ideas while never feeling padded. It did skimp on some of the details from the last section of the book, and that final scene as the Overlords depart from the planet did not quite match up to the epic feel it had in the source material when it tied everything together in a satisfying conclusion. But overall, the mini-series did quite a good job with the adaptation, even if its budget limitations were noticeable at times. I should also note the first-rate acting delivered by many of the main cast members. Mike Vogel (**_Under the Dome_** , **_Bates Motel_**) takes the lead role of Ricky Stormgren, who is changed considerably from the character in the book, but I believe for the better. The flashback sequences to his dead wife got a bit tired, though, and seemed almost pointless by the third night. Then there is Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister from **_Game of Thrones_**), who should have received Emmy consideration for his portrayal of Karellen. He plays the character as sympathetic and almost apologetic, which ties well to the plight of the Overlords that we learn about by the end of the story. Unfortunately, **_Childhood’s End_** did not deliver good ratings for Syfy, though I believe that was because many viewers were still rejecting the channel after it turned its back on its core audience when it rebranded in 2009. If it had performed better, the network might have considered doing more mini-series or movies adapting sci-fi classics, but they did not continue in that direction. This mini-series was worth the effort, though, and genre fans should certainly seek it out. ### Where Can You Watch It? The entire series has been released on DVD and Blu-ray and is still widely available in that format. You can also purchase it VOD, but it is not currently streaming on any of the major services. * * * * * * **Keep up with the status of all the current sci fi and fantasy shows as well as news and updates on new and upcoming shows atCancelledSciFi.com.** **Cancellation Watch:** Status updates and breaking news on renewals and cancellations **Sci Fi TV Highlights:** Listings for the upcoming week along with the latest sci fi TV news and trailers. **Sci Fi TV Production Report:** News on which sci fi TV shows are moving into production. **And be sure to follow us on social media:Blue Sky | Facebook | Mastodon | Twitter.**

Twelve Stories of Lancelot Biggs – Classic Sci-Fi Audiobook by Nelson Bond | Golden Age Science Fiction Part 1 ⭐ Catholic Star-Rated Review Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5) Nelson Bond’s Twelve Stories of Lancelot Biggs is a delightful collection of classic science fiction adventures featuring the eccentric and brilliant inventor Lancelot Biggs. With wit, imagination, and a spirit of discovery, Bond captures the optimism of early science fiction while presenting stories full of humor and ingenuity. From a Catholic perspective, the tales celebrate human creativity, perseverance, and the responsible use of intellect—gifts that ultimately reflect the God-given capacity of mankind to explore and understand creation. While the stories are primarily lighthearted adventures rather than moral allegories, they portray the virtues of curiosity, courage, and problem-solving in ways that align well with a worldview that values human dignity and ingenuity. An enjoyable listen for fans of vintage science fiction, these stories reflect the imaginative spirit of the Golden Age while remaining accessible and entertaining today.

Streaming Sci Fi TV: American Gods Is Available for Free (with Ads) on Tubi _Streaming Sci Fi TV: Tracking down sci fi and fantasy shows of interest on the streaming services. Note that streaming availability can change with little to no notice._ ## What Is It? Based on the Neil Gaiman novel of the same name, _**American Gods**_ follows Shadow Moon who is released early from prison after his wife dies and who meets the mysterious character who calls himself Mr. Wednesday. He learns that the gods of old are still living in America, though mostly in squalor, and are preparing for a war with the new gods of technology, media, globalism, and more and that he will play an important part in the upcoming conflict. **Aired:** Starz, 2017-21, 3 Seasons Totaling 26 Episodes **Starring:** Ricky Whittle, Emily Browning, Crispin Glover, Bruce Langley, Yetide Badaki, Ian McShane **Created By:** Neil Gaiman, Bryan Fuller, Michael Green ## Why Watch It? _**American Gods**_ is considered one of Neil Gaiman’s greatest works, and this adaptation remains relatively faithful to the book while also adding a fair amount of material to stretch it out over multiple seasons. Bryan Fuller (_**Hannibal**_) and Michael Green (_**Logan**_)–who had both worked on the well-respected first season of _**Heroes**_ –teamed up again and delivered a visual feast across the show’s first year along with one of the strongest seasons of a sci fi/fantasy series in a long time. They took a very stylized approach, and with the help of Gaiman, fleshed out the story from the book, in my opinion improving on the original work and really delving into some of the concepts originally only touched upon. They also put together one heck of a good cast with Ian McShane as the perfect choice for Mr. Wednesday and Crispin Glover quite creepy as Mr. World along with oustanding appearances by Gillian Anderson, Orlando Bloom, Cloris Leachman, Kristin Chenoweth, and more. Unfortunately, Fuller and Green departed after the first season over “creative differences”, though they did complete over half of the episodes for the second season. The show would go through further turnover behind the scenes, but Neil Gaiman remained closely involved, holding the production together and keeping up the quality. Some felt like the second and third seasons were not as satisfying (especially with some of the changeover in cast), but I enjoyed the show throughout and thought it did an excellent job building on and expanding the source material, and they came up with some creative ways to introduce new actors into existing roles. Sadly, Starz cancelled the show right as it was reaching the climax of the book (though apparently Gaiman still had two more full seasons planned), and left it on a cliffhanger (you can read more about the cancellation at this link). The show is still worth watching, though–especially the first season–and then you can go read the book to know how the story wraps up. This one had a rather tumultuous production history and was cancelled too soon, but it stands out as an accomplishment for genre television. ### Where Is It Streaming? All three seasons are available for streaming for free (with ads) on Tubi TV. That is one of several free streaming services similar to Hulu when it first started and it has a fair amount of sci fi and fantasy TV shows and movies available. They do not currently offer a premium version without ads, but the commercial spots are not too bad on this service. _**American Gods**_ is also available on DVD and Blu-ray, and you can purchase it VOD. * * * * * * **Keep up with the status of all the current sci fi and fantasy shows as well as news and updates on new and upcoming shows atCancelledSciFi.com.** **Cancellation Watch:** Status updates and breaking news on renewals and cancellations **Sci Fi TV Highlights:** Listings for the upcoming week along with the latest sci fi TV news and trailers. **Sci Fi TV Production Report:** News on which sci fi TV shows are moving into production. **And be sure to follow us on social media:Blue Sky | Facebook | Mastodon | Twitter.**
