I am making it my mission to find all the good scifi media hiding on the internet. The entire five seasons of the Andromeda TV from the early 2000s is free on to YouTube! It's not perfect but has some great storytelling, ship designs and is worth a gander if just in passing!

I have always loved the AI aspect of Andromeda, multiple instances of the same AI capable of having conversations with itself. (Display version of AI talking to hologram AI)
Sadly the show went off the rails but the AI got a lot of character development which was awesome to see, any shows that incorporate this AI aspect into its plot?
The Abyss had seen the universe live and die many, many times.
It was tired of it.
It's solution was to end all life in the universe and stop the cycle forever. Via the Magog.
It didn't do this out of hate but of love, didn't Rev say that he saw love under it all when he stared into the Abyss?
Trance and her lot opposed this and wanted to see death and suffering continue without end.
So you have Angels and Demons in conflict but only the Abyss's plan would have truly brought peace about. Hence surely it was the good guy all along, wasn't it?
Bonus points if it's sci-fi.
I'm mostly looking for TV series (I like to watch one or two a night before bed) and I'm totally fine with it being older, some of my favorites were from the 70s. I think a big part of what I like is the "live on a spaceship" trope, but I also like the post apocalyptic "rebuild society / discover 'ancient' society (ours)" trope as well.
Here's what I've watched so far:
Firefly
Stargate
Farscape
Andromeda
Star Trek : Orig / TNG / DS9 / Animated / Voyager / Enterprise
Battlestar Galactica (both original and more recent)
Logans Run (tv series, I have seen the movie too)
The Tomorrow People
Buck Rodgers
Ascension
Ark II
(and I have consumed everything Star Wars)
(last time I asked a very similar question)

Going to give "the expanse" a try next.
Thanks in advance!!
English isn't my native language (not even my second language).But I do love to watch british series in english and if available with subtitles(not often the case somehow). Imagine my confusion when a unrelated looking 30 year old calls the older women character Mom. Because it didn't happen to often on my viewings (maybe Ma'am isn't that common) I was confused but I put it always aside as me being not attentive enough. Only with the magic of subtitles was I able to understand how much of an moron I was.
He was tired of being pushed around
Implied here is … no episodic series (eg Law And Order)
We enjoy Drama Crime, Nordic Noir, etc.
No SciFi or Fantasy Dramas
Subtitles are perfectly fine
Thanks
Episodes 1-5 had me totally stoked. I was really excited that my favorite fantasy series was getting a decent adaptation. And then what the !@#$ happened those last three episodes? The series took a serious turn from decent adaptation to train-wreck. My main gripe was this whole "we'll take you all to the Eye to fight the Dark One and whoever isn't the Dragon is gonna die" with all the main characters being like, yeah alright that sounds fine to me. What justifies this? They had one Trolloc encounter and were all willing to throw their lives away for a Dragon that had zero prep/channeling experience? What the ever loving... Not to mention the travesty of whatever they did to Lord Agelmar/Loial/Moiraine stilling... come on. The sa'angreal ISN'T EVEN FAT.
Anyways. I might read EotW again just to reset my brain... So annoying because the justification for going to the Eye in the books, Rand's encounter at the Gap and everything else would have made so much more sense for the show to simply implement. :(
So my brother tonight is sitting down to watch Star Wars IV with his son for the first time and we were talking about shows that we wish we could see again for the first time.
So I ask you, what is the one TV series you wish you could rewatch but with fresh eyes for the first time?
Something similar to Peaky Blinders, Hannibal or Breaking Bad would be ideal.
Edit: Thanks for the responses. After much careful consideration I have decided to go with The Wire
I don't know if this question has been asked before but I will ask it anyway. What movie do you think would have been better suited as a TV Series?
Some films try to cram wayyyyy too much into too little and feel overstuffed as a result, personally, I think the recent Matt Damon film Stillwater would have been better as a crime miniseries since there was just too much put into the film it felt overstuffed and questions were left unanswered
What films would you say?
I need a new tv as my current one doesn’t have 4K. Should I look at getting a tv with the 2.1 hdmi? Or with 120hz? I don’t know too much about TVs. Will a 4K 60fps tv do?
Not exclusively. Anything with Jack sparrow make into a movie. Whatever. But I’d love to have smaller short form stories of the other pirates in the Caribbean. Maybe make it an anthology and give a series to each story. Make the story actually about Pirates in the Caribbean and not Jack sparrow and friends.
