More things like Star Trek? (lemmy.world)

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 understand, aren't you supposed to start it all over again from the beginning and continue until your death? Are you allowed to watch ST just once?

I'll have to rewatch it in a few years to refresh my memory enough so I can keep saying "This is like this one episode of Star Trek" to my friends all the time.

When you rewatch, make sure to listen to the Greatest Generation podcast, if you're into nerdy film guys who worked in the industry making insightful analysis alongside dick and fart jokes.

This is what i do. Star Trek playlist gets put on when i’ve got nothing else to watch. Random episodes of all trek is my happy place.
