Hi, I'm considering getting into Stargate. I only know it's based on a movie and the franchise consists of 3 tv shows. I don't know anything about the setting / plot.

I'm a massive Star Trek and Babylon 5 geek. I don't know if Stargate is for me, though and I don't want to invest many hours before I might find it's not for me.

Maybe you people here can provide some info about the plot, pros & cons of the franchise and explain to me what got you hooked.

Looking forward to your replies.

PS: I don't live under a rock, but somehow I managed to dodge everything about the franchise.

PSS: would I start with the movie and then SG-1? Are there other critical things to know?

Honestly, I think Atlantis was peak Stargate. Great stories, visuals and characters that got you really invested, though one certain arc felt a bit slow / drawn out. But I also never got warm with the replacement for O'Neil, so that was a bit of a weaker era of SG-1.
