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.

For me and a few other fans Discovery and first 2 seasons of Picard don’t exist. Season 3 of Picard and Strange New Worlds I like.

I don't like any Picard and I do really like all of Discovery.

But even then, there's so much right now that even discarding those there are two animated series and one live action show left. That's still quite a bit of homework. And given that Picard and Disco are divisive but not universally hated, I'd say if you're into Trek you still want to check those out and see if they're for you or not.

No animated stuff for me, live action only. I guess if you enjoyed discovery, new trek has found its audience and it’s time for me to go elsewhere, some good recommendations on this thread.

You're missing out. Lower Decks is easily one of the best trek shows if you like trek. Also they do a crossover episode with Strange New Worlds.
