I have watched Rick and Morty,Star Trek & Doctor who and they began to bore me. Please recommend me a good sci fi show that has some interesting plots like a hive mind or main aliens are people who speak through a biological radio...or more!

Missions is good, I think it's available on BBC now.
Both versions of The Outer Limits are good. The first episode of the most recent edition is an adaptation of one of George R.R. Martin's.
Quantum Leap is fun.
There's Red Dwarf, Firefly, The X-Files, and countless versions of Star Trek. You probably haven't watched Voyager or Enterprise.

A show that only lasted one series was babylon 5 offshoot - Crusade https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OK8hGHUKk1k

it was scrapped before the series was even aired

on a lighter note

I'd recommend Babylon 5 above the others. Its special effects have decidedly not aged well, but the plot is still excellent and the characters are almost always well written.

If you're into Animated Programming, Futurama is funny and Oban Star Racers has excellent action and Adventure

If you're a bit of a linguist a few of these look very interesting- Eternelle, especially so.

alpha 0.7 looks as it's very topical.

Ok, So My Personal Favorite: The Star Wars Original Trilogy. Prequel trilogy is for hardcore fans and Sequel trilogy is... a burning dumpster in my View

I haven't personally watched it, but I've been told Orville is a good Sci-Fi Comedy that's kind of like Star Trek.

Going to go obscure for those hipster points.

Sliders is good. Jeremiah, though it ended a bit to early, is good. seaQuest DSV also suffers the ending to soon problem but it's good aswell.

Also Seven Days. It's kinda shit though, but I enjoy it.

The Terror

but it gets "bad" after the 5th episode, so I recommend you stop at the 5th episode and consider it the canon ending (whole thing only has 10 episodes i think)

Universiox recommended, among others, the Quatermass series... I second this, and add that EspeciallyQuatermass and the Pit

Quatermass and the Pit Originally I confused the miniseries and movie. You want the '58 MINISERIES. So efficient, so great, such atmosphere, such a wild ride.

Dollhouse. Joss Wedon, Eliza Dushku. Not in space, but fantastic science fiction concepts.

Farscape. 90s "lost in space" genre, kinda like Babylon 5

Lost Room. Miniseries. A cop finds a hotel key that opens a door to anywhere. A hotel room lost in time and space.

Firefly. Obviously

Marvel's Agents of Shield. The secret agency from the Marvel franchise. Kinda has an X-Files vibe, but more action. Starts off slow, gets great.

The Expanse. Based on a book series. Set in space. AMAZING world building.

Fringe. Smart, fun, funny. Great actors. Fell in love with it.

Westworld. Probably heard of it. Loved the first season, didnt see the second.

Mr. Robot. Maybe not the type of sci fi you're looking for, but so well made that I had to offer it.

Dark Matter

by **Woods Is Back** » Wed Nov 28, 2018 7:39 pm

Obviously Star Wars is the best thing that ever happened to sci-fi, but the new Lost In Space is really good. I recommend it to any sci-fi fans.

I may be mixing up shows and I haven't watched it in years, but wasn't Farscape the one were the spaceship(who is it's own character) blows up a planet at some point and no one bates an eye or brings it up again.

No, that's Lexx.

While yes, the ship in Farscape is organic, it doesn't have any weapons (Which is actually a major problem throughout the series).

Thank Christ someone else knew that, I was thinking I had gone insane while typing. I'm going to watch Farscape again, now that my memory is all coming back together.

All coming back together... Lexx was shit.

Call me sad if you want to, but I enjoy The Lego Star Wars cartoons.

Is any of the stuff that fans have cobbled together worth watching? If only for the laughs or the interesting way it's done?

I think Black Mirror is interesting, but I;m more interested in a series,like with continuity not anthology.

Farscape is sure interesting, it has living organic spaceships which is the "interesting" part i was looking for.

Hm, anyone here interested in The Expanse? Deals with aliens later on though.
