Science Fiction Gems To Watch Instead Of The Trump Convention
Repo Man, The Expanse, and "11.22 63."
The Republican convention is a fascist shitshow and it's gonna last for days, so instead of screaming at the teevee until you pass out, why not leave assessing the damage to paid professionals and enjoy some good science fiction that might have slipped under your radar? Or dradis?
1. 11.22 63, streaming on Hulu

Stephen King purists may fault it for not including every subplot from the novel, but damn if I didn't start watching this time travel series about a diner, a portal and a schoolteacher trying to change history (and history not cooperating) one evening and three episodes later I noticed it was getting light outside. Also the letter-perfect recreation of the 1960s is something to see.
2. The Expanse, streaming on Amazon Prime.
