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.

"War Of The Wingmen" and "Ensign Flandry" by Poul Anderson. Anderson was the master of creating new worlds and alien races.

Stargate is most world exploration. The Expanse. Sliders.

Seemingly not mentioned so far has been "Battlestar Galactica" (the 2000s version). Less about exploration, more about survival, with action, character development, and philosophical/religious questions.
