-Community, This is a good show to just put on and leave it going. If you have seen all of it before, you can just put it on random and watch what comes up. If you haven't seen it yet then you are in for a treat. There are 6 full seasons though I'm not sure where they seasons are streamed besides Stan in Australia and Yahoo Screen. The season 6 finale was pure gold.
-Red Dwarf, An old british sci-fi sitcom with 9 or 10 seasons, I can't quite remember cause of the way the seasons are labelled. Revolves around the last human in existence aboard a ship with his holographic friend, a life form evolved from a cat and in later series a humanoid android. This doesn't sound appealing but it may surprise you.
-Stargate SG1, This is one of if not my favourite show ever. Based off of the 1994? movie it spans 10 years and over 200 episodes about an exploration team, SG1, exploring the universe through the stargate. The storylines are decent and the characters are believable. It may seem dated and that may annoy you but in the end if you are a fan of sci-fi then this is a must watch.
-Farscape, With 4 seasons and a movie to wrap it up this was a joint effort between SciFi and channel 9 in Australia, hence all the Australians. Its premise is that a man is taken across the universe when a wormhole opens up when he is testing a new ship for the airforce/nasa. It involves Jim Hensons Creature Company(I think) who create the aliens so they are not all humans.
-Deadwood, Has exactly 3 seasons produced by HBO. I can't remember much about it and American history is something I know little of, so here is the plot summary from IMDB
The town of Deadwood, South Dakota in the weeks following the Custer massacre is a lawless sinkhole of crime and corruption. Into this uncivilized outpost ride a disillusioned and bitter ex-lawman, Wild Bill Hickok, and Seth Bullock, a man hoping to find a new start for himself. Both men find themselves quickly on opposite sides of the legal and mora...

The town of Deadwood, South Dakota in the weeks following the Custer massacre is a lawless sinkhole of crime and corruption. Into this uncivilized outpost ride a disillusioned and bitter ex-lawman, Wild Bill Hickok, and Seth Bullock, a man hoping to find a new start for himself. Both men find themselves quickly on opposite sides of the legal and moral fence from Al Swearengen, saloon owner, hotel operator, and incipient boss of Deadwood. The lives of these three intertwine with many others, the high-minded and the low-lifes who populate Deadwood in 1876.
The show features a top notch cast with true HBO quality production values. Each episode is roughly one day with some episodes being based directly after and some being after some time has passed. There is a lot of swearing, sex/nudity, racism and drug use so avoid it if you are easily offended.
Currently watching Farscape (Blu-ray!). Up to S02E03.
After watching basically all of Star Trek several times over, I needed more. Wonder how long society must wait for another sci-fi/space-opera ? Has been a while.
Quite enjoying it so far, I hope the movie patching up the end works out well ?
I honestly can't remember the movie and how good or bad it is, but I think it did finish off the story which was it's point I believe. Battlestar Galactica is another really good show for sci-fi drama. Stargate Universe is also good for a drama thats in space, entirely different to the other two stargate series but still good in it's own right.
Haha, just be glad I cut myself off. It's actually hard to right summaries for shows that you haven't seen in ages, without spoilers.
Thanks for your comment, you're always warm and friendly.
