Haven't read or watched ‘PHM’, but I've heard that Kim Stanley Robinson's ‘Mars’ trilogy is sorta comparable to ‘The Martian’, which latter is being recommended in the thread. Robinson is known for doing tons of research for his books and writing very realistic ‘hard’ sci-fi.

The Mars trilogy is much also well grounded hard SF, but the story involves a big cast of characters, and a lot of politics and interpersonal issues/relationships. It's a great series, but it has a much different feel than PHM.
