So I found this one season (26 episode) extremely campy sci fi TV show – a low budget 2007 Canadian production – called Grand Star. Watched a few episodes last night. OMG it’s so terrible it is awesome.
It’s like a B-grade GameCube era JRPG got crossed with Snowpiercer. I can’t stop watching it somehow.
Anyone else seen this amazing piece of … something? ;)
I really loved things like Eros station docks in The Expanse. So yeah it fits this vibe haha. :)
See also Killjoys, Dark Matter, Vagrant Queen, Helix, Ascension (some scenes), and I think Orphan Black would fit alongside The Expanse. Soooo many darkly lit industrial-themed loft apartments, barely disguised warehouses, and underground tunnels that (in the real world) let people avoid the weather while downtown. :-)
Doesn’t prevent a show from being good, far from it, but it’s an identifiable look.
Funnily enough, YOUR show seems to have been filmed in France, LOL. Canadian warehouses are a state of mind, I guess.
Sanctuary too.
Stargate Sg1 had a bigger budget, does that still count?
I’ve watched about half of that list. Well, when I run out of Grand Star episodes, I guess I have more warehouses to explore then haha.
To contrast this, see Vancouver sci fi, like the X Files, SG1, Smallville, The 100, Dark Angel, BSG, etc…
Or Halifax with… Lexx ;)
Stargate SG-1 is equal parts “Vancouver warehouse sci-fi” and “Vancouver rock quarry sci-fi”
