Started and caught up with BSG.. any similar shows?

[Woosta]

BSG is/was AWESOME. It really picked up during the second season, that and the third season were awesome. Now I'm looking for similar shows, and I have seen Firefly which is somewhat similar.

hmm.. i wouldn't call firefly similar to BSG. those two shows have completely opposite tones imo.

If you're interested in firefly, hulu has the entire series up:

speaking of which, I just noticed hulu added season 2 of babylon 5, another show you might want to check out if you're interested in a 'space drama.' it's an oldie, and you'll definately notice the dated special effect, but still one of the better sci fi series imo.

The first season is kinda slow, but seasons 2 to 4 are pretty intense.

Why don't you watch first half of S4 of BSG? Some are on Hulu, rest are readily available if you know where to look.

Not really similar to BSG, but just as good in my mind:
-Lost
-The Shield
-The Wire
-Dexter
-Mad Men

I've always been a fan of Babylon 5.

I'm always looking for another good space show myself or something I have missed over the years.

Nothing will ever come close to B5 in my book but I also like Farscape and Firefly a whole lot too.

I didn't watch DS9 or Enterprise during their runs so I am catching up on them these days. Everything else is basically just filler until enough time has passed to watch B5 again.

Besides Babylon 5 and Farscape, Stargate SG-1 from the middle of season 1 through the end of season 5 or 6 was quite good.

All of those take a little time to get into, don't give up on them after watching just 1-2 episodes.

There is some good SF anime, like the original Ghost in the Shell movie and the GiTS Stand Alone Complex TV series seasons 1-2.

Saw *ALL* of the BSG eps.
Saw *ALL* of the LOST eps.
Saw *ALL* of the Dexter eps.
Saw *ALL* of Prison Break eps.
Saw *ALL* of Firefly eps.

I'm starting with Jericho s01e01 right now, looks damn good. Might need to get into The Shield and The Wire and maybe Babylon 5.

Stargate SG-1. Expect it to take you a few months to get through. There are 10 seasons.

Wow. And it's still going?
