I started watching that recently. Is it just me, or is the audio really messed up in the first few episodes? I couldn't hear what people were saying over the background noise. It seems to have sorted itself out now- I'm on episode 4, but it was weird to have to put subtitles on.

I have not watched the show. I read the first couple of books in the series but it's kind of boring and derivative after a while.

Nice to know there's already a bit of an evidence base behind this policy.

It's on Netflix- the effects are well done, but I really wouldn't go out of my way for it if I were you. Really good sci-fi series are hard to come by nowadays though, so I'll probably pick it back up at some point.

I expect if Merika excluded the religious right from the science tests, their score in science would improve drastically, probably triple in value. Yes, this is an alternative fact. I said so.
