Okay, so I’ve been on this huge sci-fi kick lately, and I kept hearing people rave about “Stargate Atlantis.” I mean, I loved “Stargate SG-1” back in the day, so I figured, why not give the spinoff a shot? Turns out, I got totally hooked, and it got me thinking… what other shows out there capture that same magic? So I started digging around, looking for some recommendations.
First, I jumped onto some online forums. You know, the usual places where fans hang out and discuss their favorite shows. I posted a question, something like, “What are some good shows similar to ‘Stargate Atlantis’?” and waited to see what people would suggest.
My Watchlist Grows
I got a bunch of replies, some helpful, some not so much. I started sifting through them and making a list of the shows that seemed promising. I had to do some cross referencing, because I wanted shows, with similar themes, stories, or vibe.

- Some people highly recommended other stargate shows.
- Then after my digging I added my own flavor to the list.
I ended up adding a few more shows to my list, based on my own research. I’d read reviews, watch trailers, and basically try to get a feel for whether a show would be something I’d enjoy.
I’m still working my way through my list, but I’m having a blast discovering some awesome new (and some not-so-new) sci-fi shows. It’s been a fun little project, and it all started with that craving for something similar to “Stargate Atlantis.”
If you have more shows you have enjoyed, feel free to drop your suggestions and I will add them to my list.
