You're not missing much but if you're a fan of science fiction, I definitely recommend The Expanse. The first season can be difficult to get through but it really picks up towards the end and just gets better from that point on. The budget also increases so some of the tackiness in the first season goes away.
I'm all for detaching yourself from modern media and refusing to fund the enemy -- kudos to you for that -- but doing it simply because people in it are black or brown or female is an over-reaction. The Left weaponizes all sorts of things against the Right, but it's a bad move to let them shape your morality and values even if it's in the opposite direction. You're still giving them control in the end if you do this. We should be on the side of truth regardless of what our enemy does.
Also, maybe my memory is failing me but I can't think of a single gay character in The Expanse.

I'm brown and can't stand the Expanse. Even in the books, Holden is a grade A pompous jackass. Everyone else are fking caricatures of diversity.
The science in it is pretty spot on sci-fi. Too bad about the junk characters.
Well yeah he's a Paladin and every bit of Lawful Stupid that comes with it.
