Lemmy World Rules

Over the last few years my family and I have binged all of Star Trek, then moved on to Star Trek adjacent shows like The Orville and Stargate. At the moment we're not really watching anything sci-fi. I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for similar shows (or maybe some books) that fill the void left by Star Trek. In particular I really like the episodes that deal with interacting with other civilizations, diplomacy, and exploration more-so than say, an anomaly episode.

Black mirror, especially the early seasons

I liked the "Lost in Space" series, tbh... Exploring is key lost in space on alien planets.

It's not exactly like Star Trek to be sure, but it's possible you might enjoy continuum. Definitely deals with moral issues, but it's not space based, or as futuristic

Stargate is most world exploration. The Expanse. Sliders.
