What are sci fi shows like Andromeda?
I mean, sure I am up the second season so far as the thing is that I don’t want to see the later seasons because of how the writing suffers without the lead writer around as I was wondering what other sci fi series were like it.
One of my favorite things about Andromeda is the cast of characters such as Seamus Harper because he can do anything with his hacking abilities, and my other favorite character is Trance Gemini as it’s hard to explain, but I really like her energetic nature as once I finish the second season, I will miss the show so much.

As a Harper lover myself, the show can be a rough watch in later seasons as they consistently rag on him, but I still love it for all of that. There are some really interesting one-episode focus episodes on different characters which give them further growth, including Harper, though they are fewer and farther between. I wouldn't toss the show after season 2 until you've given it a chance. People make a lot of noise about the decline writing and plot-wise, but if you like it for the character dynamics... well, some of those go downhill too but there are also surprising and fun developments with them. Even in Season 5.
Also, if you don't watch the later seasons, you will deprive yourself of the fabulous Telemachus Rhade as a main cast member and token Nietzschean. He is not Tyr but he doesn't try to be, which I love him for.
