Beacon 23 follows Aster, a government agent, and Halan, a stoic ex-military man, who cross paths when they end up trapped together inside one of the many Beacons in outer space that serve as a lighthouse for intergalactic travelers. Every Beacon is run by one highly trained human and a specialized Artificial Intelligence. Aster mysteriously finds her way to the lonely Beacon-keeper Halan, and a tense battle of wills unfolds. Halan begins to question whether Aster is friend or foe, as her ability to disguise her agenda and motives could make her a formidable opponent.

Oh, Cersei Lannister. Cool. Thanks, Piglet.

For anyone interested in “reading” what this series is based on, it was originally released as a series of 5 parts (or later, chapters), not one book, to serialize it, in 2015 (also called Beacon 23 – Part 1: Small Noises; Beacon 23 – Part 2: Pet Rocks; Beacon 23 – Part 3: Bounty; Beacon 23 – Part 4: Company; Beacon 23 – Part 5: Visitor). The same year the author agreed to put all the parts/chapters into an omnibus and called “Beacon 23: The Complete Novel”. Anyone interested can acquire both versions. It’s intended to be read slowly, savoured and contemplated. Further information can be found on the author’s website. ╰(✿´⌣`✿)╯♡

Love Lena. Her good guy chops are as good as her bad guy chops, and she’s very good at being on the fence, providing forward dramatic motion. Thanks for the reading recommendations - It’s nice to read - stop - digest, continue. Hope the show writers serialize this in the same cerebral style.

You’re entirely welcome. My wife works in the industry and wanted me to pass on that this is also on offer (the entire 5 parts/chapters) on audio. AudioBB has it for download, if you’re interested. ♡´・ᴗ・`♡

Sweeet! Certainly!

Show originator Zak Penn has a nice resume having done 3 x-men flicks, Avengers, Elektra & Free Guy. Being a writer, we hope he can get into the same headspace as the older Howey for better story cohesion.

AHHHHH!!!!I hate cliffhangers :( Oh well have to wait to see if they get renewed or cancelled for Season 3

Dang, December 3rd can’t get here fast enough!

Meh, nothing special.

I’ll bite and it starts on November 12th.

It looks like there’s another updated release of this show projected for sometime in 2024. Although AMC messed up with one of their press releases which said it was released in 1970! 🤣

Lol what? How is this at season 2 already. Did this show go from season 1 directly to season 2?

dampyiel2200 3 points 1 year ago.

I think I’ve just gotten used to years in between seasons where I forget everything completely and have to watch a recap on YouTube.
