There aren’t many of the classics I haven’t watched to death.

Farscape, I have seen too many times. The re-imagined BSG is my all time favourite, I have seen it more than too many times.

Right now, I am watching TOS. It is good. After that, I have been considering seeing the first three seasons of Andromeda again, or continue with B5 after the shadow war, which I haven’t seen since I was young. DS9 is an option, because I have only watched the whole thing once.

My preference is for ship-based shows, but a space station will do in a pinch.

    I’m not sure I can think of many you haven’t listed already that specifically qualify as ship-based, but I could certainly think of some that are closely (or perhaps less closely?) related. The Expanse, for example, is pretty darn good.

    If you don’t mind some anime in with your space ships, I’d recommend Planetes for your Kessler Syndrome alleviation concerns, or Legend of the Galactic Heroes for grand space opera.

    Are non-space ships acceptable as well? I could certainly offer some good water-ship (Das Boot) or air-ship based shows (Masters of Air). And if lunar bases are your cup of tea, you could try For All Mankind.

      Thanks. Yeah, I think some other ship content would be good, I am mostly looking for a sci-fi fix though. I loved the Das Boot film. I had forgotten about the TV show, but I think it did not appeal to me.

      I will check out those anime. I have seen Legend of the Galactic Heroes.

      Expanse was good for a while, but lost me along the way. Usually, I find modern sci-fi to be quite off-putting.

        Yeah, for Das Boot, I was definitely thinking more of the movie, so maybe it wasn’t correct to include. Then again, at something like a 4 hour runtime, it’s nearly miniseries length. :)

        If you liked Firefly and like anime, Cowboy Bebop might be a similar option.
