Any good modern scifi recommendations?

[dcm]

Does anyone have any good recommendations for modern science fiction shows? Preferably those that channel TOS? I've watched all of star trek(except for the cartoons and discovery and I refuse to touch discovery). I've watched babylon 5, battlestar galactica(both series), dune, aliens, star wars, star gate, etc. I'm tired of rewatching those series. I want some fresh and modern.

Orville

Yeah, if you're looking for Trekkish shows then The Orville is the best choice to make.
They're not Trekkish, but Farscape and The Expanse are two of the best space sci-fi shows of the last couple decades, and I can't recommend them highly enough.

I didnt like orville. I saw a few eps and it's not for me.

Why not check out the new Doctor Who (from 2005 onwards)? Not sure about channeling TOS, but it's got a cool premise and plenty of neat sci-fi concepts.

Lost in Space is a lot of fun...on Netflix. For older series, Andromeda (at least the first couple of seasons) is entertaining.

And Doctor Who! You need to watch at least through to the end of the second season for the 2005 reboot.

The Expanse. In my opinion, it's one of the best science fiction series in recent years.

 

[StarMan]

Yeah. If you liked nuBSG @dcm, then I'd say The Expanse is a good bet. It has a serialized, meaty storyline but doesn't reward complacent viewing. If you want something a bit more serious with some depth, it's hard to beat.

Doctor Who is largely episodic and does a bit of everything.

I quite enjoyed Foundation. It changes a LOT from the books but I'm a sucker for distant future settings and it's the closest thing you'll find to golden age sci-fi on TV.

The Expanse. In my opinion, it's one of the best science fiction series in recent years.

Correction: one of the best science fiction series ever.

Lost in space was great. I am a fan of it's Campy counterpart and absolutely loved the tone they set for the Netflix show. My only issue was they ended it after 28 episodes. Season two and three were awesome....

Netflix's Lost In Space for sure!

See if you can find "Space: Above and Beyond."

I'd put in another vote for the new Lost in Space, it was fantastic.
Just out of curiosity, which streaming services do you subscribe to? Most of what's been recommended so far are on different ones.
The Expanse is on Prime Video, it started on Syfy but after the second or third season Amazon picked up. I'm pretty sure you can find the Syfy seasons off of Prime, but I'm not sure about the later ones.
Lost in Space was a Netflix series, and Foundation is on Apple TV+.

It got a lot better.

Another vote for the Netflix "Lost in Space."

 

[Starbreaker]

There aren't any shows like TOS. That's half a decade old and then some. There's been some recent stuff, but if you don't like modern Star Trek, then I'm not going sure what you're going to like.

Severance
Foundation
Silo
Westworld

@dcm Were you looking for just space sci-fi or any kind of sci-fi?

 

[bdub76]

Expanse is my recent fav for sure.

Strange New Worlds.

I knew even before I ever saw it that it would become my favorite Trek series of all time. And now it's confirmed my suspicions.
