I think I must be the only person who thought Fury Road was massively over-rated. It was (and I realize this is almost by design) just one two hour chase sequence. The effects, both practical and CGI, directing and implementation of the action in the film was fantastic, don't get me wrong. But there was so little actual story (I felt), barely any background given to any of the characters, and Max himself was almost an incidental side character. It felt a bit to me like Furiosa was actually the 'main' character, and mostly just showed up so the film didn't get accused of being a complete feminist trip.

The remake. The writer's strike definitely contributed to the show somewhat going off the rails in the latter seasons, but there were still some absolutely stand-out episodes in there.

The remake of Battlestar Galactica is probably my favorite sci-fi show. I recommend everyone at least give it a shot - it has some of the best single episodes of TV ever made.

For some reason, despite the space themes etc, I don't really think of Firefly as sci-fi - it's more of a western to me, just one that happens to be set in the future.
