One of the major problems with TV that I’ve noticed is that you can have a great premise and great starting season, then the show gets cancelled for some stupid reason. I often find movies to have higher quality than TV. What do you think?

The Americans was boring af. Stopped watching early on.
I already finished Dark, I loved it, although the “You can’t change fate” type of theme is a bit annoying. I watched 12 Monkeys (the TV show, not movie) which is anothet time-travel series and the atmosphere was not as dark (pun intended), and much more “chill” to watch.
The genres I like are: Science-Fiction, Alt-History, Political (but not too “real”)
I liked watching:
The Magicians The Expanse The Good Place For All Mankind Man in the High Castle (it was dark, but alt-history isn't really realistic so it wasn't that horrifying to watch) Travelers 12 Monkeys (TV, not the movie) Game of Thrones (minus season 8, that doesn't exist for me) Breaking Bad Designated Survivor Kingdom (the Netflix Original that's in Korean) FringeSome movies I liked were:
Terminator 2 Interstellar The Martian 1917 Dunkirk Back to the Future 1-3 Star Wars 1-6 12 Angry Men PrimerHeh, quite some overlap. I watched and liked all shows you mentioned, besides Kingdom (I rarely watch non-English shows) and The Good Place (I don’t like comedy). For movies, I loved Interstellar, and I liked Primer :) 12 Monkeys is good, but had a lot of writing issues with movie-sized plot holes.
The Americans certainly requires being invested in the characters, it’s very focused on them and their development.
Based on that list, my main recommendation would be Continuum (Cyberpunk-ish time travel show playing in the now). For more space-based scifi: Dark Matter (canceled too early, so unfinished; band of misfits brought together by chance, amnesia) and Killjoys (bounty hunter team, interstellar conspiracy; moves from pretty small-scoped to huge; finished)
