I've read the Sprawl Trilogy several times and watched the Blade Runner movies several times too. And I love them.
Yet, it's hard to be excited about these two projects because they are being produced as series by the usual culprits.

Remember "The Peripheral" in 2022?
Cancelled after the 1st season - and it…

'Afgelopen vijf jaar [aug 2025] is de Nederlandse aanschaf van Israëlische wapens geëxplodeerd.
Met een pakket orders ter waarde van 1,9 miljard euro is Nederland een van de belangrijkste klanten van de Israëlische wapenindustrie geworden. De helft daarvan is besteld na de start van het Israëlische offensief in Gaza in oktober 2023. De genocide heeft daar kortom geen enkele rem op gezet.'
