Shows that feel likeHalo (2022–2024)
If you loved Halo, the closest series we have are Stargate Universe (2009), Ahsoka (2023) and Star Trek: Enterprise (2001). All three share Halo's cerebral and dreamlike feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Dark Matter (2015).
If Halo hit the spot, these will too

Military science fiction where the crew are the real problem
The difference: Serialised and gloomy, with no alien war to fight

Stately space opera where duty and a distant threat set the pace
The difference: Leans on Star Wars lore you already know — no super-soldier brutality

Humanity's first serious contact with something better armed
The difference: Federation optimism, episodic and much talkier

Expensive science fiction about empire, faith and a long war
The difference: Slower and grander, with almost no ground combat

A forward base fighting an alien enemy far from any support
The difference: Breezy and episodic, with jokes and no prestige budget

A military unit meeting alien civilisations with rifles and protocol
The difference: Ten breezy episodic seasons with jokes — lighter and far less cinematic

Common ground: space travel
The difference: Trades the momentum of Halo for an angle of its own

Cerebral and dreamlike in the same breath
The difference: Sits closer to drama than Halo does

The same mix in both: momentum, then scale

Both are built on the same subject: space travel

A franchise property extended into new territory with mixed success
The difference: Anime, and about fighting rather than war

An armoured soldier learning to care for someone in a hostile galaxy
The difference: Episodic western warmth and adventure, not a grinding interstellar war
