Half the reason I like sci-fi so much is that it’s the genre which most often avoids pointless interpersonal drama.
I like to watch shows that are about things happening and how the characters deal with those things, not just jealous relationship fighting and people who can’t even decide whose side they’re on.
Don’t get me wrong - character conflict is necessary for any good show, regardless of the genre, but I don’t want the entire show to be that.
The ones that focus more on drama and petty fighting are always really hard to get into.
Also some are just so violent it’s hard to watch them, like game of thrones.

Imagine my surprise when I tried to read Hyperion and it’s told in separate vignettes about each characters back story. 🙄
Yeah I tend to like sci-fi a lot because of that as well, plus just cool spaceships or whatever haha
