Over the last few years my family and I have binged all of Star Trek, then moved on to Star Trek adjacent shows like The Orville and Stargate. At the moment we’re not really watching anything sci-fi. I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for similar shows (or maybe some books) that fill the void left by Star Trek. In particular I really like the episodes that deal with interacting with other civilizations, diplomacy, and exploration more-so than say, an anomaly episode.
If you want something that’s in the vein of episodic sci fi and is family friendly, try find Seaquest DSV.
In that same vein again, i would recommend Andromeda as it was created by Gene Roddenberry but the lead was Kevin Sorbo who had gone full maga mode, so maybe pirate that one 😁
Edit: did you also watch all of Stargate Atlantis & Universe?
I would advise not watching Andromeda.
Why? It was a good show, and very much in line with what was asked. I may not be a fan of what the lead actor has turned into now, but I still enjoy some of the shows he acted in.
Because I don’t think it’s a good or particularly interesting show.
To each their own :)
Watched Atlantis but not Universe. It was on another streaming service and we read it got canceled relatively quickly. Still worth a try?
I enjoyed it. It’s a different vibe to the others but still enjoyable. A lot of human drama and tensions
