Original Star Trek.
The older I get, the more astonished I am at the quality of the overall presentation - acting, writing, story, directing, musical cues, themes. I didn't really appreciate these 50 years ago when I was a kid, but now that I've been an adult for over 40 years, I see the brilliance of what they did.
Unfortunately, now it is almost impossible to see original original Star Trek; now you have "remastered" shit everywhere and that often ruins the quality of the presentation. Some of the effects made more sense in their original form.
Last night, I was watching the Season 1 episode "Balance of Terror". I was flipping channels and just stopped when that came on because it is such a great episode; definitely one of the 10 best and I highly recommend it.
The humanity of the beginning and ending... (Two members of the crew are getting married at the beginning.)
The subtle hints towards feminism - that women can do what the men can (despite those fantastically short skirts).
The not-so-subtle hints about bigotry and overcoming it.
The cat-and-mouse tactics; two captains trying to outwit each other and surviving. These men might have been friends had they been on the same side...
It's brilliant stuff - stuff I never really appreciated as a kid but, looking back, helped me not grow up to be a racist or misogynist like the bulk of young conservative men here are.

It's on hiatus for the summer, but I've been liking La Brea. I think it's on NBC and I think that it's had two seasons already.
Not bad for a network show.
None that I can think of, and there used to be quite a few. In any case, I no longer care about TV shows, because the producers of them all try to condescendingly preach to us about the virtues of virtue-signalling; they're used as soap-boxes to propagandise extreme left-wing ideology, and I don't need that bullshit in my life!
Black Mirror on Netflix. Their coming out with a new season soon. Can't wait!

I like west world, it's very deep so it's not for people who doesn't want to think. The expanse is great sadly it's stuck on a specific streaming service.
I've been watching "The Ark" I like that. The first season just wrapped on it. If you like post apocalyptic or cyberpunk or sci-fi shows that deal with space exploration/human nature you'd probably like this.
Oh heaps and heaps of super good sci-fi tv shows both old and new. Would take a while to write them all
I have been watching Picard on Paramount Plus. It is not as good as season One but I am only halfway through it.
Severance is amazing! It's a masterpiece of escalating suspense.
Black Mirror is good. Stranger Things.
I'm going to assume you already watched star wars
Netflix has best content for sci-fi series.
