I had trouble with the show. I really wanted to like it, but there are too many things I didn’t like about it. But the movie was amazing. I just watched it for the first time in the past year.
How far along did you get in the show? It starts out sort of slow and cheesy, but ramps up to having really big overarching storylines and super epic battles!
I think Stargate didn’t do very well when it came out, but then went on to spawn several TV series.
I was surprised when I learned that because the shows were really fun.

Like 4 episodes. I’ve heard it gets better, I just can’t bring myself to watch it. Maybe I’ll try Atlantis and then go back to the original.
I have a really hard time with the recasting.
With a lot of TV from that era you have to accept the first season is the show figuring itself out. 4 episodes, really isn’t enough.
The best approach is just to skip boring chunks/episodes and move on to the next. Then when your hooked going back is worth it.
With Stargate while its an episodic format, events in past episodes are incorporated and it slowly starts building a complex universe.
Atlantis starts in SG1 season 5 and there are constant events in one series affecting the other one as a result.
