What would an alternate timeline where a show with space travel was popular and mainstream during 2010-2015 look like?

[CmdrShep2154]

Space themed sci fi was largely absent from TV from 2010 to 2015.

And when it did came back it often struggled.

What would a timeline where a space themed show became at least half as mainstream as shows like "The Walking Dead" and "Game of Thrones" during the early 2010s be like?

Would it be a timeline where there was a massive international effort involving both government space agencies and the private sector on track to landing humans on Mars by 2020?

And what would the show be like?

A space opera?




Something more "realistic" and "near future"?


Or a mix of both?

A show that starts off as a space race between superpowers then they find a portal connecting our solar system to many other worlds in our solar system and morphs into a more tradition space opera?

Would it come at the cost of the "MCU", "The Walking Dead", and "Game of Thrones" becoming as big as they became in our world?

I don't understand the question?

Did you answer your own question with the expanse? MCU has plenty of Sci fi so that would still exist. There's room for multiple franchises, but something else to complete with the MCU is never a bad thing

Also as your name is commander shep, I bet you're happy that mass effect is getting its own series?
