If Colossus: The Forbin Project hit the spot, these will too

Cerebral and tense in the same breath
The difference: Played as drama first

Cerebral science fiction in both cases
The difference: 53 years apart, and the 2020s show

Thriller with a pulse of tension, in both cases

Science fiction built on ideas, twice over
The difference: Goes its own way on the tension

Tense thriller, and it commits to that

Both know what they want from science fiction

Thriller of the same temperament
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Science fiction approached the same way

Both play thriller straight

The same science fiction instincts

Cut from the same thriller cloth

Both are science fiction through and through
In the mood for more cerebral?
