Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis will keep you busy for at least a month
Edit: Finished SG-1 and currently on Atlantis. Down to talk about it

Also, worthy of it’s own comment, Farscape. Not quite as long, but the quality is unmatched, imo

“UHF” is peak entertainment–“Weird” Al is the G.O.A.T.

Black Mirror is great, except the last 2 episodes of the latest season.

Black Mirror is only, like 4 years ahead of it’s time. I don’t want to watch something I can just watch on the news in real time

It really sets the tone. If you can get through that one, you’ll love the rest of the series. Bandersnatch is a work of art.
@rkalajian what was wrong with the last two episodes? It’s been a while since I’ve seen them but I don’t remember liking them less than the others for any reason.

They were more supernatural than tech related for some reason.

High rec Farscape. If you enjoyed the few episodes from the Stargate series that poked fun at itself, you’ll def enjoy Farscape. It doesn’t directly poke fun at itself, but they definitely didn’t always take themselves too seriously.
For example, Rygel (a puppet irl) is a character that farts helium and yes… Anyone in the immediate vicinity will know because of the way the talk. And it’s got that classic late 90s/early 00s sci-fi feel. If you liked any/most sci-fi from that period, you’ll feel right at home.

LOL…when I saw the subject I didn’t get the verb and wondered what the heck is “binging” (rhyme with ringing).
Sci fi… I’m no aficionado, but check out the trailer for Moon if you haven’t seen it. Probably 20 years old nearly by now, but it was pretty good.

I hear Skeleton Crew is good, haven’t watched it yet but my friends say it’s like the Goonies meets Star Wars

Magnum PI. An oldy, quite outdated, but still nice and relaxing.
