Ever noticed how pessimistic TV show and movie writers are when they write futuristic settings?

The reason why I bring this up is because I'm currently binge watching the show "Dark matter" on Netflix. <br><br>Long story short, it's a show about a group of space pirates(they aren't really pirates, but the main character calls them that) who wake up with no memories and have weapons and special power implants ingrained into their bodies. They live on a spaceship that has advanced A.I. as well as holographic projections which they refer to as "androids." <br><br>That's not the main point though. The main point is whenever they travel to different planets, they're all practically dead. No vegetation whatsoever. Barren wasteland. Shit weather. Some planets are just completely destroyed(ex:the main character and his crew visits a planet called "venus" and it is completely destroyed; it is extremely hot, the weather is bad, and it's practically inhabitable. <br><br>I've noticed this trend whenever TV writers and movie producers write in futuristic settings, the planet practically uninhabitable. the main characters in the show I'm watching are fully aware of this and are asking themselves "how did it get like this?" "why is everything so fucked up}? Does this sound like a glitch in the matrix to you?
