The superb German series, Dark on Netflix 
It boasts a delightfully intricate plot across multiple time lines and in season three, expands to include parallel dimensions.
It really is one of the best series I’ve seen on the streaming service |

Thank you for all your suggestions i have just been told about a series called silo that looks promising.
Of course we all know the greatest sci-fi series of all time so i will see if this gets close. |

Silo is based on the excellent series of books by Hugh Howey |

I'm surprised. It's the first episodic sci-fi series to also include a long story arc; but the character development is what makes it special. Londo and G'Kar are outstanding characters, amongst many others. And who could fail to cheer when Vir waves at Mr. Morden's head on a spike? Lol. |

babylon 5 wound me up i was looking forward to a right battle between the vorlons and the shadows and there minions for a whole series. series 3
which we didnt get.
I wanted the dr who, dalek and the timelords war which has never been made.
dark matter pushed it to actually getting a damn good space war but the ship reminds me of the blakes 7 ship after the liberator.
i prefer the original BSG not the remake
the expanse gives a good space battle but in parts i had to skip some episodes |

Try "The Expanse" and
"Tales From The Loop"
Alternatively, Head over to YouTube and search for "DUST" a Sci-Fi anthology series featuring world class actors such as Tim Spall & Pedro Pascal. "Episode" length ranges from about 90ish minutes, to as little as 2-3 minutes. Dip in and give it a whirl!
Copy and paste this link as an example:

I suppose it depends very much on what you're looking for from your sci-fi. I can see from your post, and mine, that we look for rather different things in a show. I want character exploration and development, interesting narrative arcs, and unexpected plot developments. You want impressive battles, spaceships in combat and to see action. There's nothing wrong with that, but I can understand why you're disappointed by the series you've mentioned.
By the way, I also have a soft spot for the original BSG - it was 80s cheese at it's best.

"Me and my boy are currently working our way through Red Dwarf
Again.
Ok, it's a sitcom, but it's still sci fi
I think my video copy is worn out."
I've got them all on DVD and Blu ray, but the BBC have just announced them on iPlayer |

For The Expanse fans check out the books the series is based on. It's a completed run and where the TV series ends the books carry on (at least 3 books), so the ending of the show, is not the end of the story....gives hope we may see more. |

"Star Trek discovery is excellent ??"
The first 2 seasons were good, then it became just whispering and emotional gut-spilling. So much potential completely wasted. *rant over  *
Recentish:
Upload, Avenue 5, Lost in Space (2018), Star Trek - Prodigy & Lower Decks (yes animated but both good Trek), Star Wars - The Bad Batch & Visions (animated but both excellent), Agents of Shield, Grimm, Hanna
More classicer:
V (1980s), Firefly, Farscape, Now and Again, Dark Angel, Millennium, X-Files, Quantum Leap. |
