Let "n" be the number of the 2-hour mysteries.


Then the number of the Space Adventures movies is 2n.


The total time spent equation is


    2n + 1.5*(2n) = 15  hours.


    2n + 3n = 15


    5n = 15   ====>  n = 15/5 = 3.


Answer.  Three 2-hours mysteries  and  six  1.5-hours  space movies.


         6*1.5 = 9 hours was spent for space movies.
