“The Magicians in Space”, “Vampire Diaries in Space”, “Gossip Girl in Space”, you’ve got a million of these. I’d have trouble naming so many shows I don’t like. I forget about them pretty quickly because I just stop watching them and never engage with their fandom.
That’s genuinely very confusing. When someone tells me a show is like another show I like, but in space, that’s usually an endorsement. Gene Roddenberry literally pitched Star Trek as “Wagon Train in Space”.
I’d argue what defined Berman Trek in particular was being something uniquely high-minded and intelligent that was truly NOT [other series] in space by any measure. I also find it hard to believe that Wagon Train is terribly similar to OG Trek beyond people go place to place on a frontier, but maybe Wagon Train is way more cerebral and involves more strange fiction tropes than I would think, I’ve never seen it.

Something to consider.
They’re all great shows, which are not Star Trek.
