I feel like most sci-fi misses how dark space is except for The Expanse. Even they had to brighten things up a bit for TV, but that shows realism is one of the things that kept me watching the entire run. They don't shrug off what would be lethal g-forces with magical devices like inertial dampers. Nope, you get strapped into a chair and you have to take it while the skill of the pilot (and some scifi special drug) is what keeps you from having a stroke.

And then you realize the ships aren't long flat decks like in Star Wars. They're actually like flying skyscrapers because the engines impart g-force on you while accelerating towards your destination and then the ship flips end over end and fires it's engine the opposite way to slow down. Equal and opposite reactions there folks.

It's really a cool series.
