I hear Babylon 5 and The Expanse is nice, but I hear so little about those two shows I don’t know what to expect of these stories.

live action as animated recommendation is allowed.

    Start gate series is my second favorite to star trek, I heard Babylon 5 is good. Didn’t like the expanse felt to just more capitalist hellscape then scifi to me but I only watched the first episode but that’s just my opinion and observations.

    Dr who is a good sci-fi show as well as a rarely talked about show sliders from the 1990s. (Besides the last season imo)

      Your opinion on The Expanse is a valid and common one. It is a capitalist hellscape. But it’s been mentioned already, it’s a slow burn and by the second season you get why it took a while to get there. It’s an unfortunate cliche that is true a lot - sometimes, you have to get through the first parts, either because of the needed character/worldbuilding, or simply because the show hasn’t found its way yet. Don’t give up on it.

      Expanse is weird in that Season 1 is a completely different show than the rest of the seasons.

      Season 1 is primarily a detective on a space station.

      The rest of the seasons follow characters on a spaceship.
