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?

Heh, 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)
