Looking on Netflix, every sci-fi show has the tag "Dystopian". I suspect there is a very big opportunity for a show-runner who can imagine stepping outside that mold.

Undesirable, but yes, I think this is one of the reasons
I meant every single story in all of fiction is dystopian, because that is what your tweet proved.

Soviet fiction often prided itself on being hopeful and uplifting compared to American fiction which could only think of war and conflict :) But by 70s-80s a lot was dystopia disguised. E.g. brave earthlings fighting dystopia on a planet somewhere.

The biggest downturn happened with Cyberpunk in the 1980s. Before that most science fiction was not dystopian. So the people in my replies saying "SF is inherently dystopian" are showing they don't have much exposure to non-recent SF, actually.

Was just trying to speculate, not prove anything. There are obviously positive scifi, but not on Netflix and relatively lower in number.

Science fiction stories like to tie their plot to their premise. The story isn't just happening in the world, it's tied into the world building, and so when people imagine the worlds they're starting from the conflict that drives the story. Otherwise it's just a big Chekhov's gun
