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.

I don't know if you gave Stargate Atlantis a try. It doesn't reach the heights of SG1, but it has it's moments and is enjoyable overall.

Stargate Universe was awesome. I will die on this hill.

Season 1 has some rough episodes, but the second season was great.

We watched Atlantis then some of the movies. When we looked into SGU it was on a different streaming service and we read it wasn’t great and got canceled early. Still worth seeing the little that’s there? Does it feel like it got to end on its own terms or is the cutoff jarring?

Yeah, SG1 was outstanding, SG:Atlantis had its moments but was annoying, SGU was just bad.

I personally couldn’t get into SGU. I don’t know how it ends because I never finished it. It felt like it was trying too hard to be like the Battlestar Galactica reboot.
