Hi all, maybe this community can help recommend some new shows. I’m looking for Star Trek-like ‘world-of-the-week’ stuff.
I’ve already seen the following:
The Orville
The Expanse
Battlestar Galactica
Farscape
Babylon 5 (I forgot that I never finished it, so it’s going back on the menu)
Stargate SG-1
Quantum Leap (looooove Scott Bakula)
Doctor Who (Not all of it, but pretty caught up since Eccleston)
Firefly
Sliders
Foundation (really enjoyed this one, especially the Cleon clones storyline)
Andor (not a big Star Wars guy, but I really liked this series)
Is Andromeda worth watching? What else is out there?
Thanks in advance!
For All Mankind is by the same writer as ds9/bsg and is pretty entertaining. There’s some bad personal drama, but the space and alternative timeline stuff is good.
@Shadow For All Mankind is the Star Trek prequel we should have had.
As well as showrunner Ronald D Moore, the show has a raft of Trek alumni on its writing/producing staff.

I feel it works better as a prequel to The Expanse.
It does have that feel to it. I wasn’t surprised to see Naren Shankar was involved in For All Mankind as well.
I think the personal drama is just fine in For All Mankind, but if you are looking only for the “science” part and not the “fiction” (i.e. stories about humans), I can see why it would be annoying or feel like it’s taking valuable time away from what you are there to watch.
I’m still salty about the Shuttle in lunar orbit. That’s not what it’s for, that’s not where it goes.
I love, love, love For All Mankind! I didn’t put it on the list, I think of it more as a drama than a Sci Fi show. I didn’t realize it’s the same writer as DS9/BSG! Small world
