my daughter seems to like scifi. We watched enders game, lost in space series (the new version), arrival, I am mother, and she liked them all. Can I get some more suggestions?

I was pretty hooked on Babylon 5 from the start, and I can’t say the same for series like Star Trek: TNG! To me the world felt pretty fleshed-out and cohesive really early.
I actually need to pick Babylon 5 back up, I can struggle with watching series consistently, even ones I like.
I might be in the minority but I watched The Day the Earth Stood Still twice in my twenties and thirties and I found it almost impossibly slow. I’m not used to the pacing of old movies, so that might be part of it.
But I also was expecting more of a science fiction movie than a social drama. It has a robot on the cover. Haha!
I watched it the second time to understand what I didn’t see the first time, and realized it’s just not for me. I can’t remember my particular complaints other than the pacing, which might be fine if the kid is used to it.
Good grief, Picard annoys me.
Sisco is the best Captain, fight me.
As for the day the earth stood still… fair enough. It is a different pacing, and social drama were the core of SF in the 50’s. (Same with fantasy, well the fantasy that’s not just a romp in the sheets.)
It was my uncle who got me hooked- I was like 5 or 6 when I found his VHS collection of Star Trek and secretly binged it. (Or tried to. Got trouble with tribles when he came up for something, told me to rewind it while he made some popcorn. I miss him. Any how when bab 5 came out… we’d run up the long distance phone bill geeking out about each episode. (And that should tell you how good it was- because it aired opposite DS9 and we were skipping DS9 for it.)
