Three Body Problem is a great tv-series that are also based on books. If I recall correctly the author of Three Body Problem won the sci-fi award when he released that book.

Going to also chime in for The Expanse series. Fantastic book series and fantastic show. Both are in my all time favorites.

Another upvote for The Expanse book series. It has been one of the very few series where I was actually waiting for and monitoring for the next book to be released. The TV series was good, but the books are so much better and carry on well past where the TV series let off.

I could not recommend the Expansion series highly enough. all 9 books in the main series were great. the show was awesome as well, although they only touch on the first 4 books or so and the events happen in a slightly different order. if you're looking for an epic space saga that never lets you forget about the consequences of being in the vacuum, pick up a copy of Leviathan Wakes
