Which is your favourite scifi TV show?
For me, it would be The Expanse, and Dark
(I am hopping to get recommendations for some good scifi shows I haven't been introduced to from here)

JelloBrains, I think this is a hard question, if you put a gun to my head I would likely choose the 2000's version of Battlestar Galactica even though I don't necessarily feel great about the final episodes. Unless other mini-series that didn't become tv shows aired on the Sci-Fi channel count, then I'd probably pick Frank Herbert's Dune.
FreeBooteR69, I'm definitely in the minority but i didn't like the 2000's version which crammed BG with Terminator. I prefer the original series and story in which the Cylons were a technological remnant of a reptilian race who vanished hundreds of years before they encountered the human race, possibly due to a software bug turning the machines against them. I feel they should have just created their own stories and characters instead.
windchime, Everything I was going to say has already been mentioned, some numerous times: The Expanse, Battlestar Galactica, Babylon 5, Firefly, Farscape, Fringe, Altered Carbon season 1, Dark Matter, Killjoys, Twelve Monkeys.
So may I offer up Timeless and Warehouse 13? Both character-focussed and on the lighter side, but also dealing occasionally with some pretty deep character arcs. And they were just FUN (especially Warehouse 13).
Also, more recently I really enjoyed The Peripheral (though I would have preferred a proper ending, rather than the dangling threads we were left with - especially since, at the time, we didn't know if there would be a second season).
ETA: Oh, and I haven't seen any Star Wars shows mentioned besides Andor - which was admittedly fantastic. But my favourite Star Wars TV series are SW: Rebels and SW:The Clone Wars. The latter because it added so much depth to Anakin and Obi-Wan, along with many other characters, and also gave us great new characters like Ahsoka and Wrex. And Rebels holds a place in my heart - many of my favourite Star Wars characters come from that series (Hera, Kanan, Sabine... and Chopper!)
FreeBooteR69, Babylon 5 is still one of my most favourite sci-fi series. There is a Babylon 5 animated movie being released soon, B5: The Road Home and i'm dying to see it.
Also Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, tonight is the first episode of season 2. It encapsulates what the original star trek felt like, and i like it.
readbeanicecream, Eureka was pretty fun ... do not expect hardcore scifi. I also like the first season of Star Trek Strange New Worlds.
AttackBunny, Have to agree on Eureka. It's really dumb, but super entertaining, and something I can watch over, and over, and over, and it never gets old.
Jon-H558, Did you ever see the librarians TV show, thought it had similar vibe to eureka but crossed with warehouse 13

AttackBunny, Yup. I’ve seen all of the Librarian movies (similarly goofy) the show, and warehouse 13. I liked them all.
