A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

More like a miniseries, but HBO’s Chernobyl. Some of the best television I’ve ever seen.
Obligatory Firefly mention.
As a scifi buff: Battlestar Galactica, and The Expanse were excellent. Nightsky was also a really good watch even though it was slow moving, and was more about relationships than SciFi
Chernobyl. Easy
Oh shit, how could I have forgotten Chernobyl. So amazing.
One I always recommend is Dark. It starts slow but the story and the way everything connects is incredibly well written. Definitely one of those shows that makes you think long after each episode.
Some of the same cast and the same production company did 1899 for Netflix as well. Haven't finished it yet but I'm sure it will be familiar to you if you watch it
Better off Ted
House of Lies - Don Cheadle and Kirsten Bell
Huff - Hank Azaria
Counterpart - JK Simmons
Dark Matter
Stargate SG1
Travellers
Mutant X
I liked Mutant X back in the day. Looking back on it though it was cheesy as hell.
You aren't wrong but cheezy doesn't always turn me off. I mean I love red dwarf and that's about as cheezy as it gets
Dark Matter
Amazing show, I was pissed when it got cancelled on the cliffhanger.
A bunch of shows that only got a season of two in that era, sad
Yeah. I don’t even want to get into how the writer’s strike killed Heroes and Journeyman way back in 2006-ish.
The only consolation is they didn't live long enough to become a poor lazy version sof itself like many shows
