Babylon 5 is great for those looking for a series.
I've been watching that and Deep Space Nine.
DS9 is the more well known, but I think Babylon 5 was more hard sci-fi
They're both good
Farscape was also on TV way back then right after so it was amazing

Reddit and Firefly ca. 2013

its funny and engaging, well written "old white guy asshole who knows everything" character. some episodes deal with themes it is waay too immature to handle, but on the whole petty good.
i did not get past the first ep of season 4, it shat the bed so fucking hard i really don't know how.
They literally have a shark jumping joke in one of the episodes
-
I didn't realize that ran for 100 episodes. I dropped it after one, but it must have gotten better.
The whole first season is kinda a low rent monster of the week show. Then there's a few seasons that cohere around sci-fi trope A that are worth the watch, then the last season or two revolve around sci-fi trope B and I basically kept watching just to finish it.

Recently binged The Prisoner, which is an absolute delight

I stopped B5 after the resolution of the shadow wars. which apparently only needed a plucky American to explain that that whole thing was pointless and they all just went away.
Seems pointless to continue after that.
Should I continue?

Better Off Ted is just so good. Only 2 seasons but tbh I doubt they could have kept the pace past maybe a third season anyway. As much as I want more it's kinda nice it burned brightly and shortly
My favorite part is when the octochicken comes down from its web.

Farscape. I never heard much, if anything about it in Denmark, but it's amazing. Good sci-fi great humor.
I saw it a lot many years ago, and I agree that its good, don't know how much it holds up today though
-
Firefly was nice. So was the OA. And the one following up after Dark. Good stuff, killed off too soon.
I don't know if it was really good or just how I remember it, but the first season of Heroes was great. It was such a shame they fucked it up so bad in the next season.

Keen Eddie, Better Off Dead, and of course Firefly.

If you like Columbo, Poker Face is a spiritual descendant. It's honestly far better than I expected, and sometimes there's camera work that is intentionally straight from the 70s.
How many animals they gotta kill though?

Firefly, of course.
On the plus side, what Joss Whedon did to Wash in Serenity made me hate him long before the revelations of what an asshole he is came to light.

Not as old, but cancelling American Gods was a shame
Ouch, that hurts. Didn't know it was cancelled.

I finally got around to watching Dark. The show is insane. Im not sure if its niche but I have never heard any of my friends talk about it before.

surprisingly dark too, especially in the latter seasons. they just keep making the main characters fail and suffer and betray each other and get tortured and have their friends and family die in front of them after failing to escape the body horror mad scientist that wants to steal your organs and trap you in the matrix...
i actually had to stop watching it towards the end over the continuous concentrated negativity. it's not a very happy show very often. still good, i just can't deal with shows that never turn on the lights. like bojack horseman and mr. robot. two other shows that are just too depressing for me to watch. i resonate too hard the consistent downward spiral with no positive moments, then the feeling sticks with me. all three are really good shows that i had to turn off for my own wellbeing.

Yeah I'd consider it pretty niche. Most people I gushed to about it didn't want to give it a chance because it was dubbed, weirdly enough. Their loss. This reminds me I need to do a rewatch...

Top 3 hated deaths for me. Not even sure anything else quite takes the number 1 spot.
