There are a lot of TV shows out there, but which one do you think best fits the experience of EvE Online? I’ll submit my vote! EvE Online, especially Highsec, is best represented by the TV show From.

Graphically I am sure a lot would assume The Expanse.

In practice I think its closer to Wolf of Wallstreet and a fusion with The Walking Dead like [Syzygium](https://forums.eveonline.com/u/syzygium) said.

The game is a joke of its former self. While not a TV show.

Sorry not a show but I watched Waterworld last night and its literally the Mimatar vs explorers out there. The Hel literally makes an appearance as the badguys supercarrier. If you havn’t seen it is pretty good.

I think this one is most similar to Eve… Genetically enhanced people in spaceships traveling through the Universe controlled by opposing Corporations and Alliances…

Yup, and they did it just when the aliens were invading from the w-hole…

They could have easily got a couple more seasons out of it…

They had “jump clones” in that show but they were time limited. Another sci-fi show that had people being ‘inserted into bodies’ was Altered Carbon.

Only lasted 2 seasons on Netflix but they were not all clones, they had augments called a “stack” they inserted to pass memory and experience to the body. If your stack was destroyed, it was called Real Death. They could do a jump clone by a process called Needle Jacking.

Have fun!

Incorrect. Aiko Danuja was introduced to Eve Online in June of 2018. Camina Drummer was introduced in the fifth Expanse novel “Nemesis Games” in June 2015. Even if you want to restrict the introduction of Drummer to television, that still occurred in season 2 in February 2017.

My answer to the original question is: Sons of Anarchy. None of the characters are likeable and by the end all you want is for them to destroy each other.

“Squid Game” when it comes to both PVP and the Alliance Tournaments.  
or maybe a Mad Max movie, like in that security level analogy meme of EVE…IDK.
