Curious about what you thought about Space: Above and Beyond, sir? That was one of my favorite series, I was completely pissed they canceled it after one season. Carter and Wong, the X-Files guys created and produced the show and I thought it was excellent, pretty dark, but a solid show.

It was aired at the End of the 90ies here.
I always enjoyed it, because it was the polar Opposite to Star Trek and all these Ideal World Scifi.
It was grim and dark with great Charactres and an awesome Story

I remember, that there was an Episode where the Chigs had a Spacecraft lettered with "Abandon all Hope" or so.

Black Mirror

Black Museum (A satisfying ending... for once!)
Hang the DJ - good
Crocodile - may have already mentioned this one... utterly depressing
Arkangel - good, but fairly predictable ending
Metalhead - this was good, had me nervous throughout

Cloud Atlas (FTV) I really liked this but did struggle a bit with following the plot

If I remember correctly it was a hot shot chig pilot that the Marine Colonel had to take out himself. Maybe not be right, been a long time. Also off topic but there is another series by Carter and Wong called “Millennium” which went for three seasons around 97-99 or something like that which is actually my favorite TV series of all time next to “Justified”. Millennium was one of
The darkest shows I’ve ever seen, very well done.

osnafrank, ghost19 - Space: Above and Beyond was a great show (I also liked Earth 2 and Nowhere Man from around the same era). I was pretty peeved when it ended, especially as other things have survived with lower numbers. Guess there must have been other factors at work. It can't have been cheap to make.

Watched some "Millenium" Trailers....looks very Interesting, thanks for the Advice.
I remembered the Episode with the Chig Pilot while watching a Battlestar Galactica Episode (i don`t like this Series at all).
There was also a Superior Pilot and i thought "Hey, i have seen this better Years ago, you snitched this from Space 2063---The German Name of the Series
