Shows that feel likeThe Mandalorian (2019–2023)

After the fall of the Galactic Empire, lawlessness has spread throughout the galaxy. A lone gunfighter makes his way through the outer reaches, earning his keep as a bounty hunter.

If you loved The Mandalorian, the closest series we have are The Book of Boba Fett (2021), Firefly (2002) and Ahsoka (2023). All three share The Mandalorian'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 Stargate Universe (2009).

One thread runs through both: space opera

The difference: Easier on the momentum than The Mandalorian

The six-person crew of a derelict spaceship awakens from stasis in the farthest reaches of space. Their memories wiped clean, they have no recollection of who they are or how they got on board. The only clue to their identities is a cargo bay full of weaponry and a destination: a remote mining colony that is about to become a war zone. With no idea whose side they are on, they face a deadly decision. Will these amnesiacs turn their backs on history, or will their pasts catch up with them?
