"So I’m a huge trekkie, what other amazing sci fi shows can you recommend?"
Big Trekkie here too. In fact I’m watching Star Trek Insurrection right now, haha!
Another vote for The Expanse, that is really good. Older shows I’d recommend - Babylon 5 was amazing too, and I’m a big fan of Quantum Leap. The reboot of Battlestar Galactica was pretty good too. |

It’s on my list to binge again, right after I finish watching Next Generation, haha!
Saw Firefly mentioned above. Brilliant series but sadly cancelled just as it got going. |

Walter was hilarious. "
I mean that was the genius of the writing, despite the fact he was a terrible man who basically fucked the entire world... Well two entire worlds with his mixture of selfish arsehole and mad genius he's still like a lovable bafoon who you wanna go grab a strawberry milkshake with lol.... Still confused as to if he's a lovable villan or a villainous hero |

Good pondering. It's been a while since I watched it, I was going to rewatch as I think sci-fi channel were reshowing it recently, but there's so much new stuff to watch I never did. Can't really remember the intricacies so think I probably should. |

Guessing you've probably done Firefly but if not, do it.
I wish somebody would take on Stephen Baxter's Xeelee books. But it'll never happen, the concepts are too big and too unvisualisable. I mean when you've got conscious aliens made of dark matter the size of galaxies who exist on a completely different timescale, how do you put that on a 2D screen? |

He’s the perfect character! Despite almost ending the world you empathise with him. And in the end he sacrifices to save it! But in sheer terms of character development Peter takes it. The Peter at the end of S5 is unrecognisable from the one in S1 and I loved seeing the development of Walter and Peter’s relationship! |

I agree compleatly, I loved that Peters saying was always be a better man than your father growing up, but it turned out that being in each others life's made both of them better men. All of the characters where really well written and so multi dimensional |

Anything remotely sci-fi then I'm watching or reading it.
Deep Space Nine is my all time favourite of the franchise.
"Fringe" by J.J Abrahams isn't ,too bad. It started I think 2008 & concluded in 2013 (5 seasons.) Reminds me of X-Files a bit.  |

+1 For The Expanse. Easily the most sci-fi and scientifically accurate show around.
+1 for Altered Carbon, especially Season 1. Season 2 was a low point however. Now cancelled, sadly. Some very interesting ideas about trans-humanism. Would have like to see more on this.
For older stuff, Blakes 7. It defined the genre of Sci-Fi Soap Serials.
Westworld (The Reboot) on HBO is also pretty good. Season 1 is excellent, Season 2 dips a bit as I think they didn't expect to get that far, but happily Season 3 ups the ante again.

I'm surprised only one person so far has suggested Firefly I'm guessing we just assumed you've watched it.
My guilty pleasure is Farscape and i love the first few seasons of Red Dwarf if you want something funny. |

Total sci-fi geek here. Not sure what my favourite series is - too many goodies to choose from - but I've recently enjoyed binging Altered Carbon, Dark Matter and The Expanse, and waiting with bated breath for The Three Body Problem. Meanwhile, I'm just done reading 'Green Mars' and about to start on 'Blue Mars'. |

"So I’m a huge trekkie, what other amazing sci fi shows can you recommend?"
Omg where to start - ok . Loki DEFINITELY! Dark Matter, Dark, The Expanse, Altered Carbon (amazing) Farscape (old but good) Firefly, Westworld, Second Chance, Stranger Things, Fringe, Colony, Defiance, Falling Skies, Humans, Killjoys. Mars, Legion, The Man in the High Castle. Wayward Pines, Tripped (it is sci-fi). Dirk Gently's holistic Detective agency for a laugh. The Magicians is not Sci-Fi but its like a horror version of Harry Potter for adults lol.
Hope that helps

Who ever mentioned "The Orville" made a great suggestion. I thought it wouldn't work but I've watched more Orville than the official Star Trek Discovery show! Its brilliant its like the Next Generation with gags, but the stories and acting do the show proud. I can't wait for the next season. Seth Mcfarlane wrote a real winner |

Totally- My missus and me love the character Walter Bishop. He makes us laugh and then can make us cry with the actor's incredible ability.
We liked Warehouse 13 too |

Every Single recommendation by all the posters are pretty much pure gold Sci-Fi Enterainment!
A couple of unknown ones
Film - "The Hidden" with Kyle McLaughlin from Twin Peaks - its an 80's scifi horror. A criminal alien parasite takes over human hosts because the pleasure it feels from it is addictive, Especially when doing crimes etc.
Mr Robot although not stricly scifi is a must see - it does get into science fiction territory. Its a mind bending tour de force very much like Marvels "Legion" |

Travellers IS brilliant. Seeing Eric McCormack in that role was cool. Great premise, good writing and believable quality acting. I wish they'd kept it going. |

Lifelong Trekkie here - there's no aspect of the franchise that I haven't enjoyed, so tbh I recommend it all!!
Fans of Quantum Leap will recognise the wonderful Scott Bakula in Enterprise, fans of Warehouse 13 will spot the incredible Kate Mulgrew ( Voyager) popping up in a story arc.... |

"I always preferred Sci-Fi-Comedy to anything serious. Red Dwarf...Lexx...
I still laugh at:
"Was there any damage?"
"I don't know; the damage report machine has been damaged...""
“Step up to Red Alert”
“Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb.”
Love Red Dwarf. Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is also sci fi comedy gold. |

If you like xfiles there is a little known spinoff show called "the lone gunmen" in that show they predict 5won towers being attacked by planes before it happens.
I liked steins;gate for geeking out to, but it's a cartoon.
Altered carbon season 1 was decent. |

Currently watching a new take on War of the Worlds with Gabriel Byrne, it’s pretty good!
Also looking forward to the new Dune movie and Foundation tv series. (Lost in Space reboot is worth a watch too. ) |

Absolutely love sci-fi and fantasy stuff....
Firefly, Stargate, the expanse, battlestar galactica, etc. If you can find copies of them I would also recommend 'falling skies' and 'space above and beyond. |

I've just bought Jed Mercurio's latest. It's a Graphic Novel called Sleeper and I expect it's going to be part of a series.
I've not read a Graphic for decades. I bought it on the strength of it being a Mercurio....
Looking forward to it. |

Loved Sci-fi from being a kid.
Go to authors are Asimov (obviously), Van Voight, Clarke, Heinlen, Windham, Wells, Burroughs, Dick, Silverburg, Zahn to name but a few.
T.V. series, well the one epic has to be Babylon 5.
Dark Skies was good from back in the 90's too.
The Expanse has been ace.
Tales From The Loop and Black Mirror have been excellent also.
Looking forward to Strange New Worlds when it eventually airs too. |

Big Ray Bradbury, H P Lovecraft and Tolkien fan. Love old and new Star Trek, Farscape, Red Dwarf, the one season of firefly and the spin of movie Serenity. Love the first season of Altered Carbon but haven’t watched season 2. There loads more but some really good shout out by lovely fab members that have posted on here. I will definitely be adding some new films and programs onto my “to watch” list |

There's some great stuff from the 60's and 70's too.
Some already mentioned like.
Blakes 7 and Space 1999.
Doomwatch, The Survivors, Quatermass, The Triffids, Planet Of The Apes and of course Dr Who.
Genesis Of The Daleks is still one of my favourites! |

Dark matter but I want the other 2 series restarted again.
I cannot get into the expanse ive spent more time skipping it as it drags too much in parts.
lost in space season 3 starts soon though as it has finished filming in january 2021.
intergalatic reminds me of blakes 7
The Astronauts series be warned its a childrens one certainly a different take on the film space academy.
worth a watch though |

Gosh, I did forget the most recent,The Mandalorian!
It has restored my faith in the Star Wars saga.
Loved Daisy Ridley's Rey but the story from seven through to nine was pants.
Mando has Ming Na Wen and Had Gina Carano my geek wank fodder...lol |

Mando is an amazing Star Wars spin off series can't wait to see the new Boba Fett spin off in Dec I believe followed by the Ben Kenobi series.
The Expanse awesome
BSG amazing
Firefly should never of been cut after one series
Yes it's a film watch out for the new Dune film reboot out in October |

I'm a big trekkie, watched all the series since hooked on TNG as a child but could never warm to Star Wars though thought episodes 2 and 3 of the prequels were good.
I see Star Trek as falling under Science Fiction but Star Wars as fantasy.
Just some random thoughts.

"Snowpiercer series on Netflix is good.
For animation and this should go without saying, Rick and Morty. "
Rick and Morty is genius in my opinion. It doesn't take it's audience for granted, is very intelligent and is not afraid to drop a fart or knob gag lol. I loved the episode when because of Morty and Summer's indecision it causes reality to split into several pieces - very clever and very funny.ppp
Final Space is good but isnt as near the knuckle or outright shocking but is still worth a watch. |

Me and the Missus have got into Warrior Nun, Ash Vs The Evil Dead, Second Chance,Dark Matter, The Expanse (Marco Eneris IS Evil Personified) For Comedy you've got to see the film and series "What We Do In The Shadows" it's not science fiction just fantasy. Imagine a Mockumentry about different types of Vampires living in a shared house. Honestly
it's hilarious

Black mirror was great, I didnt think the kinda americanised series/seasons that where on Netflix was as good as the original channel 4 ones though. The Fifteen Million Merits episode(the one on bikes) is probably seared into my brain forever. |

Saw the first and loved it, not seen season two so that good to know. Anyone seen Blame! Or Gants:0? Both great and Tokyo Ghoul good for the first two season. Death Note, the animation good as well |

I'm late to this one so nearly everything I'd suggest is here already, but yes, biig sci-fi geek.
I'm not sure if anyone has suggested Ultraviolet - a 90s British sci-fi/horror/thriller series about vampires in the modern day. It's played like a police procedural rather than Hammer Horror and it's brilliant. I was gutted that they didn't make a second series. |

It's been on my shelf for years and I still haven't watched it... Jack Davenport is in it( Miles from, 'This Life). It's meant to be excellent. They did a US version IIRC which wasn't that great I understand... |

I would love them to do a gaunts ghostnseriesnkn the style of band of brothers etc. Or maybe a wfb series about the end times. Had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with Dan Abnett a couple of years ago at warhammer world in Nottingham. Genuinely nice guy with some great stories to tell. |

That would be amazing. Netflix are making a Eisenhorn series are they not?
Issue is with the new Warhammer+ and what they have done to certain fan animators maybe put a stop to anything like that gaining mainstream appeal. My friends are not in to 40k but they very muched enjoyed Astartes, one even got into painting some marines But they wont sign up to a streaming service to watch it. |

"I'm late to this one so nearly everything I'd suggest is here already, but yes, biig sci-fi geek.
I'm not sure if anyone has suggested Ultraviolet - a 90s British sci-fi/horror/thriller series about vampires in the modern day. It's played like a police procedural rather than Hammer Horror and it's brilliant. I was gutted that they didn't make a second series.
It's been on my shelf for years and I still haven't watched it... Jack Davenport is in it( Miles from, 'This Life). It's meant to be excellent. They did a US version IIRC which wasn't that great I understand...
Gonna give this a try "

"Not a show butthe Warhammer 40k books are amazing! Can't beat some grim dark sci fi
If you like the novels there's some animated and live action shows coming out soon via their warhammer+ streaming service
I cant wait tbh and I hope the rumours of the live action eisenhorn is true as well (although I'd much prefer a gaunts ghosts)
Abnett is a fantastic writer. I'd love to see a Gaunt's Ghost series. I'd be happy with Ravenor and Eisenhorn too.
Currently reading Pariah.
I would love them to do a gaunts ghostnseriesnkn the style of band of brothers etc. Or maybe a wfb series about the end times. Had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with Dan Abnett a couple of years ago at warhammer world in Nottingham. Genuinely nice guy with some great stories to tell."
The Black Library is full of great books. Currently going through the Vain novels again, light relief after Fabius Bile... |
