I saw your post about "The Crown", when I am finished with "Gotham" I'm going to watch that one too. It sounds interesting. And maybe you can watch "Victoria" and then we can talk about both.
I only checked out "Stargate" because I had loved Richard Dean Anderson in "MacGyver" and wanted to check out what he was doing now. Like you, I never had considered myself a sci-fi fan, so it was much to my own surprise that I fell so deeply for it. Then again, it was not like the usual sci-fi, with ships and battles in space. It was about people, and the team and their relationship, and every week a new planet to explore and problems to be solved. And it was not set in the future but our time. Which is why I also loved "Torchwood" so much, it reminded me of it. Ordinary people dealing with alien stuff in secret.
But yeah, it's not about the plot, it's about the actors and the characters.
