I just started Stargate SG-1 not too long ago. I wouldn't call it perfect, but it does hold up decently and is pretty entertaining. 10 seasons too.

Still haven't watched Firefly...
It's good, but I'm not sure if it holds up if you aren't already nostalgic for it.
It has so much of that Joss Whedon wry sarcastic dialogue that has become the replacement for comedy in modern movies
Yeah I was ride or die for Firefly back in the day and it still does things that were impressive at the time, but my love for Whedon has definitely lost some of its shine. Especially his "strong" women characters that feel like barely the baseline today. It probably helped make that possible, but it doesn't seem to stand out nearly as much as it did in the 00s.
these Star Trek series:
Star Trek: The next generation
ST: Deep Space Nine
ST: Strange New Worlds
ST: Picard
Non star trek:
Rome (the old HBO show)
Mr. Robot
Breaking Bad
Better Call Saul
Haunting of Hill House
I highly recommend Mr. Robot and Dark if you haven't seen them. Although Dark has only three seasons.
Dexter, House, Scrubs. Just to name a few.
And you play the game of how many seasons can I watch before I need to be awake.
Roommates was a webseries on YouTube.
It may not be 8 seasons long, but its nice and short enough to binge all in one night.
For me the sweet spot is 3 or 4 seasons AND knowing that the whole thing is self-conclusive.
Fringe was fantastic back in the day, not sure how it holds up today though
