TV shows and movies better than their original source material
The Expanse - I thought that the books and novellas were pretty pedestrian sci-fi, but I just finished the second season of the show, and it's really riveting tv.
Battlestar Galactica - as a kid, I was a fan of the cheesy Lorne Greene show, but the updated BSG was so much better, so much smarter.
Starship Troopers - as a teen, I enjoyed this piece of trash book from Heinlein, but the movie is even better as it pokes fun of the fascism baked into the book.
