    I am watching SG1 from the beginning. I saw episodes here and there when it came out but as I’m running out of long running shows and characters to get attached to, I gave it a go. Aside from the incessant and loud background music in season 1, I find it holds well.

    My suggestions are the usual suspects:

    1. The Expanse – A gripping, politically charged space opera about interplanetary conflict, featuring complex characters and high-stakes drama.
    2. The Orville – A mix of comedy and sci-fi drama.
    3. Dark Matter – A Canadian sci-fi series about a crew of amnesiac criminals aboard a spaceship, exploring identity and survival in space.
    4. Ted Lasso – A heartwarming comedy-drama about an American football coach managing a British soccer team, full of humor and positive vibes.
    5. The Night Manager – A stylish espionage thriller with a former soldier-turned-hotel manager drawn into an arms dealer’s world.
    6. Bob’s Burgers – A quirky animated comedy that follows the Belcher family running a burger joint, known for its clever humor and heartwarming moments.
    7. Letterkenny – A fast-paced comedy about the quirky residents of a small Canadian town, blending absurd humor with unique characters.
    8. Killjoys – A loud, action-packed Canadian sci-fi series about bounty hunters navigating a chaotic, lawless planetary system.
    9. Silo – The second season was slow until the final episodes, but the first season was great.

    Edit: I forgot

    Le Bureau des Légendes – Smart, layered French espionage drama with deep moral ambiguity.

    Slow Horses – Gritty and darkly funny spy series about MI5 rejects who still get the job done

      Killjoys

      I looked through some of the film stills on IMDb for Killjoys and it was kinda fun to recognize so many faces from The Expanse.
      @thejoker954@lemmy.world mentioned The Eternaut, and you look like you enjoy good tv-scifi, so you might want to consider giving that a go as well.

      You had me until Silo. I couldn’t get past more than a few episodes of that before realizing I was just watching a less energetic and self-aware version of Fallout.

        Oh, yes, you’re right, I forgot Fallout! Same premise, I enjoyed both very much though I found them quite different. I enjoy anything with Ella Purnell. Arcane is another one I forgot!
